Hey all, i wanted to see what others have been getting. I havent tested the max right now, but im up to 1350 Boost and 7200 memory... that was way better than my "old" 680 that got 1220 boost and 7000 memory. It takes less power and performs better when overclocked than 2 680s in SLI. Its such a good card. Not sure if a grand is worth it but i wanted to see what others were getting. In order to get my 1350 boost i had to overclock my card to +230 core and memory is straight forward, +700. They really did bin the best 680s to make the 690! Im kinda affraid to go higher...

Current Core: +230
Memory: +700
 
Also.. i highly recomend people use the cd drivers, 301.33 not the drivers on Nvidias website(301.34) as in many cases it will not allow the PC to completly shut off. Plus im getting higher benches overall as well.
 
No idea why the new drivers work for some and not others, but the 301.33 work for everyone and it was a scare to many including myself when my pc didnt fully shut off when shut down.
 
Does anyone know what they changed between 301.33 and 301.34? I haven't been able to find a change log.

+230! Wow thats insane dude, I'm pretty jealous of you having 690s! I've been trying to secure some for a while now with no luck :(

Congrats though, thats a sick setup! That OC is better than many 680s do, my 680s struggled past 100 offset! Just goes to show that nvidia spared no costs and used the absolute best when designing the 690. Did I mention that I want one :cool: Hopefully newegg will get some more...
 
No wonder the GTX 680 stock was so low before. Nvidia was binning them for the 690s
