I've heard the GTX690 will go on sale very soon. Here's what we already know:



Nice looking cooler, clear windows so you can see when the fins are getting clogged up with dust.

Underneath the rather fetching, laser etched, injection moulded shroud made of exotic materials like magnesium alloy, aluminium and polycarbonate resides a dual vapour chamber nickel plated aluminium fin array. iirc vapour chambers were introduced to graphics cards with the AMD HD2900



The fan and cooling fin array have been designed for low noise so hopefully when combined with the power efficiency of the kepler GPU (same as in the GTX 680) will allow for a good balance of power and noise.

Power to the card is supplied by a pair of PCI-E 8-Pin Power connector so you'll need a high end PSU if you want to run this in your system.

Outputs are three DVI and one Mini Display Port



Performance on this scale is simply astounding:

I would love to get one of these but I'll just be wasting it on a single rather small monitor.

So a new monitor or three to buy before I even think about such a beastly upgrade to my system ... prolly be a new one out by the time that happens too.
