MSI officially launches GeForce GTX 690 Graphics Card

[Addis]

MSI has officially announced its GeForce GTX 690, which contains inside two GeForce 3072 GTX 600 with CUDA GK104 Cores, 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and a memory interface of 512 bits. The chart comes with the MSI Afterburner overclocking software and as you can see below, makes use of a reference design, so maintaining the screen frequencies and outputs the original model.

The operating temperatures, as declares MSI, should be lower on the GPU of less than 22 c with less noise of about 10 dB with respect to heat sinks with design reference. Recall that the technology Propeller Blade implemented by the cooler Twin Frozr III allows an increase in the HANDSET to air of 20% greater than the traditional fans and a low noise level. Compatible with new versions of the famous tool to overclock MSI Afterburner, the GTX 680 OC has a factory overclocked with a frequency of 1058 MHz with a GPU Boost of 1124 MHz. Obviously, thanks to a cooling system so efficient, it is a snap seek limits much higher using the MSI Afterburner. A card, in short, that combines an aggressive, high performance and low noise for the joy of all the most demanding gamer.

MSI GeForce GTX 690 denotes two coupled graphics processors of the type GK104. This 28-nm chip generation of Kepler's better under the name "GeForce GTX 680" known and offers DirectX 11.1, PCI-Interface of the third generation. The GK104 1536 includes CUDA-cores in a double with 915 MHz (GeForce GTX 680: 1006 MHz) clock. The boost mode, a sort of turbo mode allows up to 1019 MHz (GeForce GTX: 1,058 MHz). Each GPU are 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory aside, the MSI N690GTX-total P3D4GD5 also offers 4GB of graphics memory. The memory clock is 1,500 MHz (6.000 Mbps) at about the level of the GeForce GTX 680. The memory interface is 256 bits wide on each GPU.

Two 8-pin connectors provide power safely, in case of emergency, approved the card up to 300 watts. If sufficient 3D performance and power consumption still should not allow MSI OC tool "Afterburner" the adaptation of chip and memory clock, the manipulation of the voltage values and interference in the fan control. MSI N690GTX-P3D4GD5 uses NVIDIA's reference design. This applies to the board, the cooling and for the connections. Here are three DVI connectors (all Dual-Link) and a mini-DisplayPort version 1.2 available. A maximum four displays can be controlled simultaneously with 3D content is limited to three monitors.

Zotac Launches the GeForce GTX 690, which is formed by two 3072 GPUs with CUDA GK104 Cores, 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and a memory interface of 512 bits. Is the reference model, which frequencies are maintained in the 915/1019/6008 MHz (core / boost / memory). The graph is accompanied by three titles Assassin's Creed downloadable through Steam.

On the other hand the EVGA has also launched two graphics cards GeForce GTX 690 and GTX 690 Signature Edition.

The list of reviews of the new Nvidia GPU is long, but among those who managed to review, which stands out above all by the large number of tests. It was assumed that this GPU should be a complete solution, not something directly oriented games, Nvidia in that part wrong. Therefore, and if it costs me, I acknowledge that AMD is much better CNG architecture that Kepler, in what refers to multi-GPU, GPGPU use in games. The video memory is on the other hand with effective 6.0 GHz. Two eight-pin power connectors provide the graphics card with up to 300 watts. A centrally placed fan takes care of the removal of heat. Technically, the GTX 690 is up to date and offers 3D Vision, PhysX and GPU Boost and DirectX 11.1.
