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 GTX580 in situations where the GPU's were running at the maximum capacity of the supporting CPU.

ive been posting on nvidias forums for 5 years now and quad gpu has never scaled well and not because of a cpu bottleneck. its fine for synthetic benchmarks but drivers dont work properly for most games. check out some quad benchmarks on the net. some games have lower frame rates for quad sli vs 2 way sli.
