[QUOTE="soldine"]I just want to future proof, how long do you think the next gen of graphics cards will take? 600 is fairly recent isn't it? Also, i'm not so sure about the 680 it seems like with certain games it cant quite reach 60 frames when everything's maxed, at least from the benchmarks iv'e seen.[QUOTE="5SI-GonePostal"] Do you plan on upping your resolution? Because unless you are looking at multiple monitores the 690 is servere overkill and a 680/670/7970 would do the same job for a fraction of the price. And no your mobo should be fine, i dont know any reason why it would cause a bottle neck. However the fact you have a 580 suggests you could wait for at least the next gen of amds gpus, and do a full system update and buy a 8970, which i would think will out perform or be quite close to a 690 at a fraction of the cost and wattage and without the hassal of sli.5SI-GonePostal
Edit: On a side note, theres no point in upgrading my cpu ATM is there?
It depends what you want to be doing. For most normal people ;) that build has another 6-12months maybe longer at more or less maxed out games. Yes you may have to cut a few corners to get the fps you want but a 580 is still a very good card. Atm it would be a q1 for 8 series AMD and q3-4 for the 7## series. Haswell is still a little way off. In all honesty i dont think you will notice any difference with a 690 over 580 @ 1080p yes you will see it in benchmarks but gameplay not much, if at all. If you wanted 3 monitors then its a different story the 690 is the difference between maxed @ 60+ fps and choppy 30fps on the 580 Edit: well having seen the benchmarks at 1080p you will see no difference in performance in games - the difference is often the difference between 100+ fps and 70ish on games maxed out, which to the naked eye would not be noticable. Imo at 1080p the 580 can last until the 7 series, this should also give you a decent upgrade. It seems like my 580 is struggling with the most recent games, cant get a solid frame rate in AC3, Borderlands 2, or Far Cry 3 at higher settings.[QUOTE="soldine"]Do you plan on upping your resolution?

I'm wondering if I should wait on the graphics card before upgrading the mobo or if it wont make a difference. Will I experience any problems with the setup I have now and the GTX 690? If it makes any difference my resolution is 1920x1080.

[QUOTE="soldine"]Whats the point? I want to be able to run two video cards if possible, my current one will bottleneck twoSi if I was to upgrade mobo's, which of those is the best choice? and what makes the price differences?
