ASUS GEFORCE GTX 690
"The Asus GeForce GTX 690 review also featuring the Asus GeForce GTX 680. The Asus GeForce GTX 690 uses the GK104 GPU at 2x915Mhz and has 2x2GB GDDR5 memory running at 6000Mhz. The Asus GeForce GTX 690 has a 2x256it Memory Interface, 2x1536 Shader Processors and DirectX 11.1. We will be benchmarking the Asus GeForce GTX 690 to the Asus GeForce GTX 680 using Aliens Vs Predator, Battlefield 3, Crysis 2, Dirt 3, Hard Reset, Just Cause 2, Left for Dead 2 and Lost Planet 2."
ASUS GEFORCE GTX 690 FEATURES
Kepler GPU Architecture
"Nvidia's Kepler GPU architecture has been designed from the ground up not just for maximum performance in the latest DirectX 11 games, but optimal performance per watt. The new SMX streaming multiprocessor is twice as efficient as the prior generation and the new geometry engine draws triangles twice as fast. The result is world class performance and the highest image quality in an elegant and power efficient graphics card."
Nvidia GPU Boost
"Up until now, GPUs have operated at a fixed clock speed when playing 3D games, even if they have the potential to run faster. GPU Boost intelligently monitors graphics work load and increases the clock speed whenever possible. The result is that the GPU always performs at its peak and you get the highest framerate possible."
Nvidia Adaptive Vertical Sync
"Nothing is more distracting than framerate stuttering and screen tearing. The first tends to occur when framerates are low, the second when framerates are high. Adaptive V-Sync is a smarter way to render frames. At high framerates, V-sync is enabled to eliminate tearing, at low frame rates, it's disabled to minimize stuttering. It gets rid of distractions so you can get on with gaming."
Nvidia Surround with Up To Four Monitors
"Nothing is as breathtaking as playing your favorite games across three monitors. At 5760 x 1080, the expanded field of view fully engages human peripheral vision and provides for the most immersive experience in racing and flight simulators. Add in a fourth display to keep tabs on chat, email or web while you are gaming."
Two New Anti-aliasing Modes: FXAA and TXAA
"Anti-aliasing smoothes out jagged edges but can be demanding on framerates. FXAA is a new antialiasing technology that produces beautiful smooth lines with minimal performance impact. And with Kepler based GPUs, you'll be able to enable FXAA in hundreds of game titles through the Nvidia Control Panel. The second mode, TXAA, is an in-game option that combines MSAA, temporal filtering, and post processing for even higher visual fidelity."
Nvidia 3D Vision Ready
"Nvidia 3D Vision brings a fully immersive, stereoscopic 3D experience to the PC. A combination of high-tech wireless glasses and advanced software, 3D Vision transforms hundreds of PC games into full stereoscopic 3D. Get up to 2x monitor and keyboard brightness with Nvidia 3D LightBoost technology4. In addition, you can enjoy 3D movies and 3D digital photographs from 3DVisionLive.com in eye popping, crystal-clear quality."
Nvidia Quad SLI Technology
"Used by the most demanding gamers worldwide, Quad SLI lets you link up to two GeForce GTX 690s together for astounding performance. And with Nvidia's track record for fast and frequent software updates, you'll not only get the best performance in existing games, but future games too."
Nvidia PhysX Technology
"Full support for Nvidia PhysX technology, enabling a totally new class of physical gaming interaction for a more dynamic and realistic experience with GeForce."
