NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690

The GTX 690 is much more expensive than the GTX 590 as it costs a whopping $ 999. Compare this to the GTX 590, which came originally at a price of $ 699. Meanwhile, the AMD closest equivalent card is the HD 7990 which costs $ 999. Spec for spec, this GTX 690 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 590, by boasting 33.1 % more fps.

The GTX 690 has 2 GB RAM compared to the GTX 590 's 1.5 GB video memory. Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, HD 7990, the GTX 690 was 6.8 % faster.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The GTX 690 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 590 and it really justifies an upgrade. For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Far Cry 6, F1 2019, Resident Evil 4, World War Z, Apex Legends at 61 fps to 63 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 62 fps.

For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Valorant at 102 fps to 102 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 102 fps. For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Valorant at 89 fps to 89 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 89 fps.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770

The GTX 780 might be the high-end flagship of the latest Kepler set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most mid-range PC gamers. On the other hand, the GTX 770 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 399. NVIDIA ’s xx70 cards have always been defined by mid-range prices with performance that knocks on the door of high-end graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Kepler graphics card inside the GTX 770, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.

Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, R9 280X, the GTX 770 was -8 % slower. For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Valorant at 82 fps to 82 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 82 fps.

For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Valorant at 67 fps to 67 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 67 fps.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 / i7-2700K

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of GTX 690 is simply ridiculous. It is worth noting that the GTX 690 is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. With current 2048 MB RAM, the GTX 690 can have serious memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games. It is important to know that GTX 690 's max load temperature is very high and might require custom cooling solutions. This combination between GTX 690 and Intel Core i7-2700K @ 3.50GHz has less than 8% bottleneck in many games and is perfect match to avoid FPS loss. This combination between GTX 690 and Intel Core i7-2700K @ 3.50GHz is a perfect match to avoid FPS loss. With current 2048 MB RAM, the GTX 690 can have very few memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games.
