Hiya,
Im planning out the further updating of my rig, got the 3820 SB in eyesight
And Im trying to think about graphics solutions,
I would rush out and get a 690 (after some saving that is) but Im wondering how functional dual gpu cards really are. Is it going to share all the same problems outright that an sli/cf setup will? Because that kind of limits the amount of games it will even be useful on.
I was kind of holding my breath to see what other vendors would do with an hd 7990 but that remains to be seen.
Anyway, I dont really want to hold back with this next upgrade cycle but do you think I should roll with a 690 or CF some 7970's or wait to see what next gen brings in the coming quarter/next year. (and instead spend the money on nice frills like SSD's and better ram etc.
I would love to here some first hand experience of 690 owners, how good the drivers are etc.
