Pros:
- Cheaper as 680s are 400 GBP each meeting 800 GBP for both (almost 100 extra for 690)
- Airflow blows in one direction out the back of the PCI expansion slot grilles whereas the 690 blows the front side GPU heat back into the case....BAD Nvidia!
Cons:
- Higher power consumption, 195Watts as a max in each 680, so total 390Watts (300Watts for 690 for whole card)
- Tighter space for airflow capability and obligation to re-position sound cards possibly to a lower slot.
- 690 is more aesthetically presentable (negligible point lol)
Can you assign phys X and similar SLI functions to each GPU as if they were separate cards? (I am assuming so as it is simply another SLI bridge but printed onto the board itself instead)
Please post if you believe you have relevant feedback that people ACTUALLY WANT TO READ. Don't turn this into a trolling thread with useless text.
Cheers
