0nard00 Reputable Jan 15, 2015 386 0 4,790 Feb 8, 2015 #1 What's everyone's take on this card? Is it worth it over the 970 or 980? Thanks.
Solution Gam3r01 Feb 8, 2015 Its old, its a dual gpu card, and it draws a decent bit of power. All in all, its ~15% faster than a 970, and about on par with a 980. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GTX_970_STRIX_OC/25.html That taken into account, dual GPU cards are a bit finicky, and not all games support SLI (Which the 690 technically is)

JUICEhunter Honorable Oct 23, 2013 1,391 0 11,960 Feb 9, 2015 #5 I use videocardbenchmark.net also but keep in mind 2in1 GPUs only list the single card performance which is unrealistic. That being said I don't think SLI 680s/690 is that amazing. 970/980 all day long. Upvote 0 Downvote
