Which GTX690?

Cedders · 27 Jul 2012 at 11:25

Hi Guys,
I know it may be an overkill considering getting a GTX690 but hey...
Since there is a limited number of boards out there from a limited number of manufacturer it looks to ma as if all boards look exactly the same but coming in different boxes!
Is there any difference between the cards from each manufacturer (except the price!)
Cheers

Warranty. Get the one on special (today only). MSI are very good.

Yeah they oversold, but were honoring the ones which sold over too.

How can you still sell something when it's out of stock?

If that' sthe case then OP just go buy the MSI one and you'll get a reuced price in todays deals

I think they only do a selective number at the 'today only price', I.e. 10, while they may actually have 10+ in stock.

Good to know they are honouring the price though. It was such a good deal, might wait next time I look at picking up the next gen cards again for a deal like this if it happens again on x90's cards :O

Surely there must be something better in life to spend your money on?

Evga are offering this

For the extra money they charge their having a laugh (This Parrot is dead).

Afaik it should work on any GTX 690 card as the EVGA one is reference design anyway.

Thats what I thought but I have seen it billed as a EVGA only extra. Which is odd as all GTX 690s are reference design.

Hope your case can fit something the size of 2 housebricks in it.

It could be worse the HD 6990 springs to mind bigger, louder, hotter. I once thought about getting 2 of them but decided against it and im a bit deaf in one ear.

Tbh I think the 690's should have more "today only" deals.
