Gaming Graphics Card

Is the GTX 690 worth the 1k put into it or is there another gpu that has a better performance/dollar but not necessarily faster?

Thanks in advance.

To me it is not, two of these HD7970GHz in CF would outperform it for less http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150632
Performance per dollar is a difficult question since that depends on other components and monitor resolution.

Thank you for replying.
I'm trying to build my first gaming computer but seeing the price on the gtx 690 made me think of reconsider buying the gpu.

Is your suggestion the best reccomendation in place of the gtx 690 or is there another suggestion that would just as equally outperform the 690?

Only thing that will, 2 x GTX680 would be equal to the 690.
