DiRT 3 is the third installment in the DiRT series and like it's predecessor incorporates DX11 features such as tessellation, accelerated high definition ambient occlusion and Full Floating point high dynamic range lighting. This makes it a perfect game to test the latest DX11 hardware.
The Top graph reflects our results at 1920x1080, while the lower graph reflects our results Eyefinity and Surround results at 5760x1080.
For anyone gaming at 1080p most of the time, the GTX 690 might be overkill. Our results show the GTX 690 was able to hit 158FPS in DiRT 3, making it 45% faster than the HD 6990, 52% faster than the GTX 590 and 68% faster than the GTX 680.
The GTX 690 continues to impress at 5760x1080, as it was able to keep the frame rate well above 60FPS.
and nvidia and their aa... gotta love em.
im excited to see txaa in person, since screenshots dont often do justice (fxaa looks good in zoomed-in pictures, but when you play the game itself w/ fxaa its all blurry
to be honest, id rather dual 680s. if the 690 is priced at 1000, then two 500 dollar 680s would be better.
Seems too good to be true TBH... I expect Nvidia to have put a catch in somewhere, such as a massive price. How it manages to stay that cool though, even on referecne design which means that when companies start to experiment with cooler layouts, the drop in temp will be even more impressive. Power requirements are too bad either. $1000 is £618, but since that is only about 150 more than what a 680 costs, that is where it seems to good to be true. With it being Britain I'd expect to see another £100-£200 to be added to that.
That LED, whilst having no added functionality to it, makes it look awesome.
EDIT:
As I expected. £809.99, puts it at $1300.
