GTX690 Vs. AMD 7990

Blubberykollis · Nov 28, 2013

I do not have any issues with money.

I want to know which one is better for gaming.

I don't want a single gpu card. or a 2-way sli with single cards. just between these two.

Both are SLI, CF cards just with 2 GPU's on the PCB. I'm not sure you understand. a 690 is essentially two lowered down 680's on one pcb and same thing with a 7990 with the 7970.

Blubberykollis :

Between the two, the 7990 has more graphics horsepower. That being said, the 690 not only runs much, much cooler, it also performs nearly as well and Nvidia's drivers seem to have fewer issues regarding SLI vs AMD's with crossfire and frame pacing, though that was theoretically fixed recently.

Basically, if you can manage to keep a 7990 cool, and you are driving a resolution higher than say 1440p, that'd be the way to go. But for most people, the 690 is more practical and even allows for a bit of overclocking to return the 680's to at or near stock clocks.

If you are really intent on a dual GPU card of this caliber though, I can't help but assume that Nvidia will be releasing a new one at some point in the near future (maybe Q2 of 2014). And rumors of a dual R9-290x or R9-290 card are already surfacing, though I doubt AMD will be able to cool it. It's all speculation, though it might make sense to wait.

I know they are dual-gpu cards. That they have 2 GPU's on 1 PCB. the GTX 690 have 2 x GK104

What I meant with "I don't wan't 2 way SLI" I don't want to use any more than 1 pci x16
