NVIDIA Announced Dual-GPU GeForce GTX 690

Hot on the heels of releasing the GeForce GTX 680, NVIDIA has just announced the imminent release of the dual-GPU GTX 690. The new card will use two full speed GK104 chips. It is being binned with special low-leakage chips to reduce the thermal profile. It also sports a new custom chromium plated aluminum architecture (rather than the usual plastic). The GTX 690 has a lower TDP than the older GTX 590, and is actually 4dB quieter than the recent GTX 680. The back sports 1xMini-DP and 3xDL-DVI connectors.

The board will run a cool grand, and will have limited availability on May 3rd, with wider availability on May 7th. If you can actually afford two of these beasts, it does support an SLI connector for Quad-SLI.
