I'd drop the price by about 500 quid, then I'd buy one today
As it is with a kid on the way, I think my days of buying expensive graphics cards (which to me means anything over £200... this price is astronomical) are over![]()
I'd remove the second gpu so we don't have to suffer stuff like this -

Dual cards are awful and will remain awful until microstutter is cured.
To me this kind of halo card is almost a proof-of-prinicple rather than practical design; by definition it is very high end and so asking what us mere mortals would like to see in it is a bit moot. To the majority, it is something to covet but we'll end up settling for something further down the rankings for now (even if that is 1x 680) with the option of adding another in SLI when the prices drop/as a future upgrade.
Meanwhile, what are the real world applications (other than obscure automated trading/financial gubbins) this beast is suited to (research? demonstration set-ups for other products or museum type interactive exhibits?)? For display PCs (as in ones to demonstrate things to people, not for personal use and the potential budget would be greater) - would this be comfortable running 3 reasonably large screens in 3D? It'd be a grand way to show off a new FPS or similar game and a stand showing that would have my attention before I even knew what it was showing.
aside from the microstutter issue the twin 560ti's were a nice idea, if they had more RAM. So more ram per card, especially at the resolutions these are meant to be used at, and work on the microstutter, i'm not sure if adaptive v-synch will help here or not.
IMHO yes it isbetter be with one piece of GTX 690 (price,watt,noise) rather than dual/SLI GTX 680.
I'd make them free!
How to change? Stop using mid-range chips for a high end product.
2 x GK 110, and not these lower GK104 things.
Make it in stock at evga.com. Friday they were available for a whole 2 minutes before being sold out. Newegg puts a $200.00 premium on them and even there they sold out. However, I'm not paying USD $200.00 over retail.
Performance is about on par with 2x GTX 680's in SLI with lower power and space requirements and costs (at retail) the same. That makes this a good fit for a micro-tower or even a mini-itx based build rather than another custom water cooled monster.
This is almost a riddle it's so difficult to answer!
You couldn't realistically improve this card any way shape or form - it's beautiful, it's an engineering masterpiece that set out to meet a goal and did so (and then some) and the price is actually not as bad as it could be - normally these engineering marvels are done in small batches so should cost a premium over their performance target, but dual 680s are around £950-1000 so to get that on a single card for the same price is just incredible
God I sound like Nvidia is my only child after a failed marriage and it can do no wrong but all joking aside this thing is just...astounding.
I'd improve it by dropping the price massively and finding some way to get around the issue of microstutter.
I have absolutely no idea how either could be economically or technologically achieved, but that's what it'd take for me to be interested in it.
I'd cut the board in half, slightly cripple the GPU and call it the GTX-670, sell it for around £250-300 and have some people do 4GB versions with quiet custom coolers. For the that is the GPU I desire...
i would water cool it.
