Asus releases Nvidia GTX 690 in India at a price tag of massive Rs. 71,000

ASUS, one of the most popular GPU manufacturer had recently launched the all new dual GPU solution from Nvidia GTX 690 at a massive price of Rs. 71,000. At that price one can build an entire desktop computer with some serious components capable of playing of playing future titles at 1080P easily. But still there is a word called Enthusiasm and here Nvidia is targeting only enthusiasts who want the best of the best. I would really like to advise these enthusiasts to wait for AMD 7990 which will be released some where near July, 2012. After that prices are sure to come down. 71K is really a insane price for a single component if you ask me.

Flipkart, India’s most popular online site is the one who had listed this Dual GPU for sale. Here is the screenshot showing you the price and a Buy Now option.

gtx 690 price in india

At approximately Rs. 33,000 one can pick a GTX 680 from Asus and GTX 690 is nothing but two GTX 680 chips on one board. You can SLI two GTX 680 at a price of around Rs. 64,000 (after bargaining) and this will give you more performance than a singly GTX 690. Though the power requirements in case of SLI is on the higher side but it will not be a major concern of you are using a good quality 80+ Gold certified Power Supply with a wattage rating of at least 800 Watt. There is one more advantages in doing SLI. In case if one of the card gets kaput than you have it’s brother for supporting you through the time required for defective card’s RMA but in case of GTX 690 if a problem occurs than you will be left with no option other than to get back to some old graphic card.
