Gamers, it is time to rejoice as the Nvidia GTX 690 is coming this May! Exciting right? Well let me just tell you this card comes with a price. The card is slated to be sold for a price tag of $999. The card looks to have 2 DVI ports and a mini HDMI port. This is going to be a 4GB video card and excuse the jargon you are about to read but I need to put these specs down and if you don’t understand them let me just say this card is fast.
The GTX 690 has 3,072 CUDA cores, running at a 915MHz base clock and 1,019MHz boost clock, both slightly reduced from the standard values on a standalone GTX 680 graphics card. The memory clock is unchanged at an effective rate of 6GHz, and you get two batches of 2GB of GDDR5 RAM, totaling 4GB of dedicated video buffer.
The speculation on the release is limited availability on May 3rd and a possible full role on May 7th. Either way you are looking at an awesome card at not so awesome price. Personally this card is nice but there are plenty of video cards out there that are really good and are half or less of the price of this card but hey if you have one thousand dollars to burn and you are looking to upgrade your gaming rig this is a nice touch.
