BF3 GTX 680 SLI vs GTX 690

[fergus1]

Hi, I'm looking at playing BF3 (and 4 when it comes out!), Crysis 3, etc on three monitors 2560x1440 on max settings, and was wondering whether to upgrade (from 2gb gtx 660Ti 3-way SLI) to a TITAN 2-way SLI /GTX 690 2-way SLI or Quad GTX 670/680's.
My specs
FX 8350 OC @5GHz, 16gb RAM @2400MHz, Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z, 500Gb SSD and a 1200w PSU.
Thanks

You should go for 690 as you know in many games there are problems of (SLI/CFX) so single card which is performing about 2 cards will be better but CHOICE IS ALL YOURS.

I have a 680 sli, it is very fast. It WILL beat a 690 performance wise. People say 1 card is better than 2 because of heat and sli issues. I have had no issues at all except for a overclocking one with my 680s and they also stay very cool under load, around 60 degrees Celsius. If your looking for performance, 680 SLI is the way to go.

The GTX 690 is SLI... so what's the point? The GTX 680 SLI is better... cooler and quieter and far more OC'ability.
