So, all-in-all, a 60% jump over the 680, but also behind the, still, best-of-the-NVIDIA-best GTX 690.

The prospect of tri SLI for these cards makes these more appealing to me than a 690. By itself 690 isn't enough to drive 3 screens. It's no secret that 690 quad SLI doesn't scale well but tri SLI witht hese cards apears to give very impressive scaling. With these cards in tri SLI, 3D vision surround @60 fps per eye or 120 fps surround may be possible...


?I'd estimate quad doesn't scale because of CPU bottlenecks, not GPU's fault really - I'm running three 3gb GTX580's in tri-SLI and for quite a lot of stuff, games were faster with only two cards, because the added cpu cycles of running a third card impacts the cpu enough to cause the speed to actually drop below that of the 2-sli GTX580 in situations where the GPU's were running at the maximum capacity of the supporting CPU.
