Question 1

Just wondering... What is the avg FPS with this on battlefield 4, compared to the asus gtx titan?

Accepted Answer

Well, I own the GTX 690, and I did the test range for you to answer this question.  I have disabled V-Sync (BF4 is experiencing many issues at the moment because it was just released; random crashes, stuttering, sound issues) and apparently disabling V-Sync improves the stability of the game.  Anyway, I couldn't really tell you an average, but it was over 100, fluctuating between like 110ish and 130ish, sometimes reaching up to 140.  Rarely, it would dip down to the mid 80's.

Granted the test range doesn't have intense battles going on, but one could say you will average in the 100s even during intense combat.  This is with every setting in the game set to Ultra, MSAA set to 4x.

Problem is, the game just came out, so you may run into issues such as crashes and what not.  Hope this helped as I do not have a Titan, so I cannot compare the two.

Question 2

Is this card compatible in a MacPro 5,1?

Accepted Answer

A Mac Pro, according to the website, has a Power supply of 450 W.  The GTX 690, according to the Nvidia website, requires a MINIMUM of 650 watts.

Plus the card itself wouldn't even fit:
The dimensions of the Mac Pro are 9.9 inches in height, and 6.6 inches in diameter.

The dimensions of a GTX 690 are 4.376 inches in height and 11 inches in length...

Question 3

Would it give me better performance if I had one of these- or - two  3GB GTX780's sli bridged together?

Accepted Answer

I have been very pleased with the 2 GTX 690'2 I have in SLI.
I run the 4 GPU's at 5760 x 1080 at great frame rates across a number of games. That being said ; I  have read a number of "experts" suggest running 2 Titans would have been a superior solution in part due to added VRAM that the GTX 780s' also have. Given the lower price of the 780's I can't help but think that they would offered the best balanced solution. Also remember that SLI incremental card bang rolls off with each added GPU.

Question 4

Which would give me better performance?:
a)this card-ASUS GTX690-4GD5 GeForce GTX 690 4GB 512-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

or b) (x2 using SLI Bridge) EVGA GeForce GTX 780 SC with ACX Cooler

Accepted Answer

Using 2 GTX 780 will exceed the 690  it not by a lot.  I have two computers in my home both with 1 GTX 690 and they are sweet.  Having only one in your case generates less heat and consumes less power

Question 5

so im going to be running a triple monitor setup. My question is if my mother board doesn't support sli can i still use a dual gpu card? also can it handle 5760x1080 resolution fine?

Accepted Answer

This card is very powerful, so it can handle that resolution. You may not always be at 60 FPS, but you will get decent framerates. However, I would personally recommend you get a GTX 780 Ti instead. It will cost about 700, and it's brand new - currently the best single-GPU card on the market. It dominates the new flagship AMD R9 290X. As for your question of your motherboard supporting the card if it does not support SLI...I am not sure, but I believe this card would work, since all the communication between the two GPU's happens on the card itself, and not through an SLI bridge. Anyway, hope this helps. Happy gaming!
