Lulz @ 685s
Anyone really think nv isn't going to roll out the full 600 series of cards before focusing on boutique cards like a 685? So that's a little better? 5 more?

My guess is that it's the 670, and maybe nv has a shark load of them /dreams

And Kepler series Gpus only support 4 displays, even if u have quad sli. 3 in surround and one aux display (pron obv). Not sure if is a hardware or software limitation, or both.

*if it is a 690 when nobody can even get a 680, I say it's the dumbest move ever. 104s are 500 bucks, so selling two of them for less than 1k is just bad business if not downright stupid.

680's are essentially non-existant now.  You can't buy one unless you're willing to get taken for a fortune on Ebay.
 
Even if it is a dual-GPU card, two times zero is still zero!
 
Bring on the GK-110.  Until then, I'll live with my EVGA GTX-580SC's.

So is there going to be a bigger single gpu card for kepler or just the dual Gk104

UPDATE 3: According to this website, this is what the GTX 690 will look like. Judging from this picture, it looks like its going to be longer than the GTX 590, putting it somewhere closer to the 6990.  Its interesting they went with a blower like the 6990 rather than the fan as in the 590.

The first picture of NVIDIA’s Upcoming flagship GeForce GTX 690 has been unveiled. A day earlier, NVIDIA showed a teaser for an upcoming announcement, Sweclockers later confirmed that it was the GeForce GTX 690which would be the Dual chip flagship GPU which launches in early May. 
  
The picture shows the card from its rear, Its quite long and has a cooler shroud similar to the one we saw on GeForce GTX 680. A single blower fan provides air to the interior components. Its unknown whether NVIDIA would equip each core with its own vapor chamber like the GTX 590 cooling design.
Power would be supplied through dual 8 pin connectors. Specifications include two GK104 chips equaling 3072 Cuda core and a 4GB GDDR5 256-bit memory. TDP is said to be around 300W. More details are expected to arrive by the end of this month.

Hahaha, you're going to ruin your vision. Or get migraines first. Either way, this whole 3D fad is risky. No long term studies yet on what it does to your vision/optic nerves.
 
I'll enjoy my 2D until they invent hardware to project holographic images for gaming.

Another dual GPU card that vents hot air inside your PC, potentially allowing some of it to short cycle back into the intake fan. Ug, no thank you NVIDIA.

What in the hell is that!

Turns out the image is a fake. Though, report of April 30 - May 5 are still unchallenged. 
 

You get over the headaches. 3D is the new HD. I might go in on 2 690s just because. I'm already F5'ing Newegg.

I'm betting it's the release of the 670/670 Ti.  It doesn't make much sense to release the 690 with the 680 yields so low.

But its kinda confirmed for the dual chip flagship sooo it cant be the lower models yet.

 

 
I haven't seen anything confirmed on the 690 yet, only rumors spreading like wildfire.  Got a link to a confirmation?  (Not saying there isn't, just wanna have a look if there is).  

690... I wonder if itll be as big of a mess as last time. will sit back and watch and see if it will be locked up tight with tiny little vrms again.

1 screen but 3D vision halves FPS for almost everything. There is no way I can go back to 2D gaming.

I hear ya.  I can only imagine those who want to game on 3 Monitors in 3D.  Ouch.

I use my 680s to play at 5760x1080 maxed out in 3D without issues, haven't run into any VRAM bottlenecks... yet :p

I was hoping there would be a step up to the 690, and almost bought the extended warranty for my 680s to apply for it, but after reading about all the people who wanted to step up to the 590, and the lack of availabilty for those cards, I decided not to waste $50 just for the "privilege" of being able to step up... chances are history will repeat itself.

I might be better off selling my 680s in the near future and purchasing a couple 690s for quad SLI, or better yet, wait for GK110, it's not as if the 680s are any slow anyways.

I'll stay with 2D for now, not a fan of the 3D experience.
 
Also, I would like to see proof that "it's better for your eyes" LOL.  Sorry I cannot imagine that being right.  It is NOT like real world at all.
 
 
Back on topic:  I'm with BHK1004, after the mess that the 590's were, there are a lot of people that will steer clear of another dual chip card, including me.  For folding/crunching it may make more sense.

That little fan for 300 watts?

Except for those of you who still owned previous nVidia dual-GPU cards or always wanted a dual-GPU card, I don't get the noise made over a dual-GK104 whenever it should appear.  It will be made of two slightly dowclocked GTX680's shareing enough power circuitry to lower the wattage and still using 2GB buffer per GPU because it won't add to 4GB in SLI.
 
Of course it fits in the space of one dual-slot, probably the only appeal for someone like me.

another thing... if people consider the 680 really a 560 replacement, then if the 690 turns out to be a dual GPU card... does that mean this is really a 560 2win replacement?

Anyone can think whatever they like, but ultimately nVidia made GK104 into a GTX580 replacement whether we like it or not, therefore a dual-GK104 replaces the previous reference dual-GF110: GTX590 and nothing else. 
 
FWIW, G92 was also a midrange GPU that should have been a 9600GT, but it was applied to 9800GT/9800GTX and dual-G92 in 9800GX2 because AMD didn't have anything better at the time.  We never saw a G90; what nVidia is doing now isn't new.

That little fan for 300 watts?

It's already been shown the picture is a fake, just a stretched reference GTX680 without a sticker which doesn't have the casing design or the nVidia engraving seen in the hinted picture from nVidia.
 
That said, GTX590 had a maximum graphics card power of 365W, so nVidia may use the same fan such that temperatures and fan noise will be within nVidia's limits -- but that doesn't mean we won't be picky since many of us don't tolerate what nVidia's engineers think are valid... )
