Should I Get A Nvidia Geforce GTX 690 In 2015?

Thecode15 Gaming · Apr 2, 2015

Hey I Was Wondering If It Is Still Worth It To Get A Nvidia Geforce GTX 690 In 2015? I Know It's A Little Out Date But I Really Love The Cooler On It And It Is Attractive And The Performance Is Good So Is It Still Worth It? P.S. I Will Upgrade Soon.

No. The 2×2 GB VRAM buffer is limiting for modern games and not all of them (the games, that is) work SLI either. I'd just get a 980 and call it a day.

See this thread, the 690 is basically just (well, slightly worse than) 770 SLI on the same PCB: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2303970/nvidia-gtx-980-770-sli.html

(unless you have really good local pricing that is)

It is one of those questions that only you can answer. Really based on price since there are more modern solutions available with good performance.

Well I Found One On Ebay For $600 AUS Dollars Is That Any Good?

I would rather spend either $100 less or more on a new card either GTX970 or GTX980. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/parts/video-card/#c=186,185&sort=a8&page=1

God no. They should be running about $250-275 AUS$ A GTX 970 should only run 500 AUS$.

But we really don't know if either will be a good fit for you. Let us know your current system/components.

Well I Kind Of Dont Have A Pc Right Now And Do You Think Liquid Cooling Would Be A Good Solution Because I Wanna Overclock My Cpu And I Know What I Am Doing But I Am Using My Dads Pc So I Will Include Them Just For Fun
Pc Specs: Intel Pentium G3258 Anniversary Edition, Sli Gtx 460 Gigabyte Windforce, 650w Psu, 1tb Hybrid HDD, Gigabyte Z87-D3H, And Last But Not Least Standard Cpu Cooler :/

It's always a good idea to have an aftermarket cooler if you're going to venture into overclocking. There are good air and water options, which you can find on any number of sales sites (think ovum).
