Here's a review of it's capabilities  MonsieurX

Why would you say that? The GTX 680 runs pretty cool, so the 690 should as well. I'm pretty sure that's a GTX 480 under that egg:P

2GB for each GPU, just like the GTX 680.

Yeah, which is turd. If someone's going to be using that much GPU power, there's a good chance they'll have multi-display or a very high res monitor, both of which will suffer from only having 2GB VRAM.

Longer than a 5970? It's a no go for me then, my 5970 only just fits in my case, with mm to spare, anything bigger will not fit :P

You gotta admit the card does look pretty nice. But no way would I spend $1,000 on a single GPU. lol

It's a dual gpu setup and one 680 is roughly 500usd so its priced exactly like buying dual 680, its kinda smart if your gonna liquid cool because you would only need a single water block (albeit a pretty big and expensive block) but the whole seperate ram address is curve ball.

hmm...let's see, my 590 cost me $0, so I don't think I'd be getting much of a bargain getting one these beasties.
