Reviews: Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan Video Card Preview

[Ninjalane]

One of the biggest Kepler based projects was the building of the Titan Supercomputer with 18,688 Nvidia Tesla K20X GPUs. It only seemed fitting to bring all of that processing power to the desktop.

Depends on what you are doing, nVidia claims it is slower but it you have to factor in that the 690 is dual GPU. two Titans in SLI is faster plut the card will do 3-Way SLI which cannot be done by the 690

so a single gtx 690 is dual by default? i mean you cant buy a single gtx 690 or a single gtx 690 have 2 cards in it?
that was kinda confusing since i dont have much information about desktop cards.

GTX 690 is a dual gpu graphics card. (two chips on a single PCB) to properly run the card you must enable SLI. It is also limited to running two physical cards in a single system for a total of 4 GPUs. (You can run more but you can't link more than 4 GPUs at once.)

Performance wise the chips are downclocked versions of the GTX 680 with roughly the same performance.
