So with all of the new flak coming out regarding this card.. it seems like an awfully good value. Essentially all a 680 is once OC'd.. $100 less.
Can't find an Asus on any websites yet, but the Gigabyte is available on Amazon overclocked, with it's own 3 fan cooler, for $399. This could be the best price for the new cards.
Obviously I am drooling over the thought of a GTX 690, but the price tag, the availability to SLI in the future (will they even make them a year from now?) and the overall exclusivity make it a hard call.
Look at my system specs.. my main goal is to be able to play BF3 at 120 FPS on low settings and enjoy other games as well. Although my system is dated, I figure if I get a 670.. I will get 90% of the way to 120 FPS Bf3 at low settings, and I can SLI it down the line for medium/high settings when I have a bit more money.
Please chime in, I'd love to hear how people feel about the purchase of a 670 to be SLI'd in the next few months.
