GTX 690 Quad SLI

[Elite2025]

Hey guys,

We have a system put together with 2 GTX 690s. If anyone wants to see benchmarks from a specific program/game let us know. Member elite PC design was able to get two of them from his company, thanks for the help man.

System:
• 3960X
• Asus Rampage IV Extreme
• Corsair Dominator GT Ram
• Temjin TJ11
• SR-1 560 radiator
• SR-120 radiator
• Swiftech Apogee HD cpu block
• Thermaltake 1475
• MCP35X2 pump
• Intel 520 SSD

What CPU are you using and FFXIV lol. No seriously it is so poorly optimized I don't think even these bad boys can run it at max settings. Other than that the Witcher 2 would be cool?

 

[aviral]

Will you please bench mark it with single 690 as well as Quad.

Diablo 3
BattleField 3
Modern Warfare 3
Mafia II

Get it to the highest possible setting of your system.

I am confused. The title of your thread says quad sli yet you only have two 680's. So far, all of the games requested to be benched can be maxed at 1920x1080 with just a single 680. What is the rest of your system and what is the max resolution you can bench?

It's two 690, which is essentially 4 680s.

Oh. Guess i need to read more carefully. Notice I still said two 680's. What on earth would you possibly use two 690's for. Maybe 3dsurround with 3 x 2560x1600

 

[jacob_28348]

Please do a BF3 benchmark at 5760x1080.

 

[crisan_tiberiu]

did you rent your own power plant?

 

[kluwolf]

Will you please bench mark it ...

Diablo 3
BattleField 3

Seriously, Diablo III you could could probably play at max with bubble gum and bailer twine holding together a 7950GT, your biggest concern with Diablo III should be the CPU, plays real nice on a hex-core. Battelfield 3, on the other hand, plays awesome on anything SLi 550Ti or better pushed by an octi-core. Just a passing thought.

I will like to get a real benchmark because within a month or so when ever the 690 card is available i will buy it.Just getting a pre-idea for what i am going to get for myself before i own that thing.

I'm thinking that by the time you reach Quad 680's on today's gaming marketplace the only limitation you have is CPU not GPU. On the other side of the coin, we still have a long way to go for Pure Virtual Reality, at least in the visual surrounded by the scene, with a googplexillion of physZ reality processing zix-buffer it. But CooL in itself, I mean, Quad 680's, Respect iT! I'd rather be bottlenecked by my CPU anyway, drop background processes on a single core and dedicate the other 11 on the gaming. Serious OuCH, eh! Maybe, Maybe Not. I'd like to see a benchmark on the original Diablo? DOSBox here we come!!

 

[Sunius]

Original diablo ran purely on a CPU AFAIK, since there were no GPUs around when it came out

 

[Elite2025]

Hey guys, this video is crap but at least it’s something for now.
I will try and perform what everyone has asked; only limitation is I don’t have some of the games. The highest resolution I can run is 2560X1600

Would be nice to see a benchmark from unigine heaven dx11, all settings maxed 1920x1080

Ah right sorry for missing that.

Nice benchmark

I get 45 avarage fps with 1 gtx680

 

[monsta]

Awesome set up , looks great!

 

[dreadlokz]

nice specs (besides the 3960x)
crap cable management
120 rad is worse then the 3960x
where is the sli bridge?
Metro 2033
=)

Ok lol, what’s wrong with the 3960X and having a 120mm rad on the top?
I already have done the cables with bitfenix single braided extensions/

New video of Crysis 2... Single GTX 690. Next will be of quad.

[RussK1]

Why are the benchmarks done in 1920x1080? All the money spent on the system and not a thought in a monitor? Atleast 2560x1600...

 

[jjb8675309]

+ Another 1

agreed with mal and russ, OPs GPU config is a huge waste at 1080p triple monitors or high res 30" personally I'd go for a nice nvidia 2d surround setup

 

[Elite2025]

The bf3 and Crysis videos are on 2560x1600


The heaven test was not on an easy resolution… the cards were powering an Elite PRO-70X5FD 70 inch led.

 

[Elite2025]

I stated the res. at the beginning of the video (Crysis)
