GeForce GTX 690 Vs GTX 680 first benchmark results on a Nvidia PR

With no doubt this is the fastest graphic card on the planed, this card is loaded with two Kepler 28nm GPUs used on the fastest single-GPU card Nvidia GTX 680, what else do you need, we are talking about the Nvidia Geforce GTX 590 Dual-GPU beast.

The card will be available in a limited quantities starting from May 3, 2012 a,d a wider availability by May 7, 2012 from NVIDIA's partners, the card is targeting the enthusiasts fans to make them fly away with a whopping 3,072 Cuda cores and 512 bit (256bit for each GPU)wide bus interconnected with a total 4GB of GDDR5 video memory, all that must result to a red price tag, which is 1000$, note that the Geforce GTX 680 is currently between 470$ and 500$ range.

Benchmark results are interesting of course, the result according to Nvidia for the GTX 690 is 57.8fps on Crysis 2 everything on max, 2,500 x 1,600 resolution, using 301.10 driver version while the GTX 680 scored 31.1 fps.

On Dirt 3 racing game, using 8xAA/16xAF setting, the Nvidia Geforce GTX 690 score 111.2fps and the Geforce GTX 680 single-GPU score 62.3 fps.

Now for noise level, the GeForce GTX 690 record measurement was 47 dB while the record on GTX 680 in SLI mode (Two graphic cards) is four units higher with 51 dB

Check out the press release:

Powered by dual Kepler™ architecture-based GeForce GPUs, the GTX 690 is meticulously designed -- inside and out -- to deliver the most refined, elegant and smooth PC gaming experience possible.
The surprise announcement was made by NVIDIA CEO and co-founder Jen-Hsun Huang during his keynote address at the NVIDIA Game Festival in Shanghai, which is being attended by more than 6,000 gamers from across China.
Engineered to reach a new threshold in gaming performance, the GTX 690 also looks the part. Its array of innovative technologies is complemented by sleek materials that contribute to the exotic design of the card, including:
An exterior frame made from trivalent chromium-plated aluminum, providing excellent strength and durability

A fan housing made from a thixomolded magnesium alloy, which offers excellent heat dissipation and vibration dampening

High-efficiency power delivery with less resistance, lower power and less heat generated using a 10-phase, heavy-duty power supply with a 10-layer, two-ounce copper printed circuit board

Efficient cooling using dual vapor chambers, a nickel-plated finstack and center-mounted axial fan with optimized fin pitch and air entry angles

Low-profile components and ducted baseplate channels for unobstructed airflow, minimizing turbulence and improving acoustic quality
The GTX 690 is powered by a total of 3,072 NVIDIA CUDA® cores, all working to deliver awesome gaming performance for ultimate gaming setups. Designed for the discriminating gamer and ultra-high-resolution, multimonitor NVIDIA Surround™ configurations, the GTX 690 delivers close to double the frame rates of the closest single GPU product, the GTX 680. Plus, it is more power efficient and quieter when compared to systems equipped with two GTX 680 cards2 running in NVIDIA SLI® configuration.
"The GTX 690 is truly a work of art -- gorgeous on the outside with amazing performance on the inside," said Brian Kelleher, senior vice president of GPU engineering at NVIDIA. "Gamers will love playing on multiple screens at high resolutions with all the eye candy turned on. And they'll relish showing their friends how beautiful the cards look inside their systems."
The GTX 690 graphics card is designed using GeForce GPUs based on NVIDIA's 28-nanometer Kepler architecture, following the introduction late last month of the GTX 680.
