    that may just tempt me to get rid of the 480's for a water cooled one of those!

    The base clockspeed is much lower than a GTX680.

    Way too expensive for me - will wait for 670.

    Was hoping Nvidia would announce the 670, guess I'll have to wait. I don't really understand their thought process thought when they have been having issues with 28nm 680 yields and they then release a dual gpu card.

    Re: The 690................ it Cometh

    The GTX690 has a base clock of 915 and a boost of 1019. The 680 has a base clock of 1006 and a boost of 1058. The question I have is about overclocking headroom. Anandtech reckon the 680 has plenty of overclocking headroom. I expect the 690 will have less because there are more components in close prolixity, so it's harder to dissipate the heat. Wouldn't be surprised if you could easily push the base clock on a 690 to 1006. That said, there'll be some shared components so I think a 690 will use less power than 2 680s.

    I'm confident that ATI will join the big bucks party when the 7990 comes to town.

    Shouldn't be too much more or maybe even very slightly less than a pair of 7970's I would imagine. This puts it about £750-800 at a guess.
