I would be tempted but I am looking at a 690 or a 670 (with plans for more) myself.

If I hadn't just bought my house I'd be all over that.

If anyone is getting rid of a single aircooled 570 let me know what you're thinking about for it.

I could turn one of mine back into an air cooled 570. I would sell for $200

The 690 is actually performing worse than 680 SLI setups in several places. Typically at lower resolutions, but the difference is there.

It's lower clock than the 680 I believe. What's more interesting is how the 670's are nearly at the 690 benchmarks and would be $200 less than it also.

Thanks but more than I'd plan on spending for the single card. I'd imagine you'd get more for keeping the watercooling with it. Too bad I upgraded to a 570 already or the two with water blocks would be tempting.

I will likely eBay them with the water blocks on. I paid like $110/each for the blocks. They are nice EK blocks. I also paid $30/each for the EK backing plates to keep things looking clean and cover the back of the circuit boards.

I'd do it now rather than later. There are more 570's showing up on ebay I think.

Microcenter just put out a rebate on a new 570 for a total of $250...
