Pretty nice. I wonder how result would have been if you had i7 2600k or i7 3930k. My reference gtx 680 sli had x7000 and p18300 at stock i7 3930k with 132%/135mhz/350mhz on gtx 680 sli.

 
 
I am still in the process of overclocking it been at it for about 5 hours now almost done. Those benchmarks were at stock. Once I have it rdy I will post the results and we can compare. . . 

Thanks for that video. If you swapped out the fan all together would it be quieter? Or is that the compressor making a bit of the noise as well?

Well I canceled my 690 order and got 2 670 sc 2gb.

You saved me $200

Although I wonder if 8x 8x PCIe 2.0 will hurt me a lot. In which case the 690 would be the better buy.

why? u have p67 board? That's the only reason I'm avoiding the P67 or Z68. They're downgraded version of everything, except the SATA III native controller.

Here are my overclocking results. My highest Gpu offset is +75 my boost clock was always at max which is @ 1215mhz on both cards. The highest I was able to take the memory was +480 which is @ 7160mhz on both cards.
 
Here are some pics 
 
+75 , +400  

 
+75 , +450  

 
+75 , +480

 
I will be added some more later on from Heaven. . .

I have z68.

I have decided to wait and see. I read that drivers are holding back the 680 and 690 so I will wait.

nice , the highest I could take mine was 80 . 

 
Yea I think I can push mines to that mark also but I think my power supply is holding me back at I think it hit its limit as sometime it work without any problem and other times my pc just reboots.  my power suppy is abot 5 years old I know it is working prefectly but I think if I want to push my video cards higher while keeping my cpu overclock I will need to upgrade to 1200watts PSU.  Thing is I am broke right now so that will have to wait a bit. Dam it sucks when you know it can push a higher overclock but something is holding you back. That one of the reasons was why I upgraded my cpu cooling to a phase change  so I can set my cpu to the max without anything holding me back I hate when something like this happens. 

Please benchmark Battlefield 3 @ 1920X1080 on Ultra settings with 3D Vision.  I want to know the average FPS.

Sorry but I don't have a 3d vision so can't test.

1200 watt psu is overkill for these cards.  Kepler is more efficient than fermi.  An 850 to 1000 watt psu would be fine.

Maybe you are right maybe its not my PSU that limiting from setting +80 gpu offset  maybe its the cards them self's that can't do it .

yeah! i don't think its the power supply at all.  maybe the gpu are hitting the limit maybe?
