Does EVGA pay you to kiss their ass or do you do that for free? Alot of us just want this card to finish our builds and it's frustrating when companies do this, so they deserve the criticism. Its better than bending down and letting EVGA have their way with me. I've never considered ass kissing corporations as an occupation... does it pay well?

I dont' like it either bro, but JacobF said they are still offering single 690s here and there.

You sure that Jacob said they're still offering single 690 her eand there? I havne't seen them in stock since Saturday.

Yeah, they def should have been online by now. I just called and they said they're unsure if they would be put up today again. I guess they're keeping shipments for the same number of those motherboards they have in stock for that bundle before putting single ones up.

Getting artifacts in Diablo 3, =\

im not sure but I think i read somewhere you must disable SLI to play Diablo 3... it doesnt support SLI or crossfire.

I don't have enabled, because I can't figure out how to enable SLI and have 3 independent monitors. 
 
This what my uniengine looks like after 20 minutes:

Must be a new image quality feature =d 
Oh well, time to RMA
 
 

I have 2 30" dells hooked up to the 2 DVI's on GPU1 with a 40" TV on the mini-DP via a passive mini-DP to HDMI adapter and SLI works great. Also no artifacting in D3 but then I assume you figured that out.

Yeah I bought a mini-DP to HDMI, it comes today but if the card is going to artifact after only twenty minutes of unigine at stock settings it's going right back to EVGA. 
 
I'm going to try reinstalling drivers and all that jazz tonight just to rule out any possibilities, but yeah, definitely not happy atm - $1000 and waited half a month and it can't even play diablo. 
 
Plus I would have thought EVGA's testing would pick up this issue. Gah, just so lame ='(

It's interesting sitting here reading thru the comments you all have about the GTX690s. I put my order in on May 3rd and imediately went to back order.  I am thinking now it's going to be June or July before I see mine. <sigh> But looking on the bright side maybe it will work correctly, first time, out of the box.  Never had that happen when ordering these 1st generation production runs. 

Im running three way 580gtx in surround.. no issue

Backorder how?  Did you pre-order a signature edition?

holy crap... the box for the signature.. is ridiculously big...

T_T they didnt give me a tshirt size that I requested... what am I supposed to do with X-Large? I cant fit into that. bleh.. haha.

installed my 690... works very well.. I actually really like the new evga precision. never used it before. I wanted to overclock it a bit... but in my tiny case.. its actually hitting around 75 degrees at stock settings. 
 
any word on the hydrocopper... I really need the waterblock.... 

Why doesn't EVGA just take backorders and fulfill them as they are requested?  Seems a bit unfair to people who wait forever only to have someone else F5 at the right moment and steal the card.

Diablo 3 works perfectly in surround.  You just have to choose in your video options in game to run at Windowed - Full screen rather than full screen.

Very kewl, thanx....
wow looks awesome
Thanx again 

EVGA - will any of these non-bundled cards go for sale today? I have wasted the last 2 weeks F5ing when none have been available since last Saturday.

Your not alone man. I've been in wanting to order one for two weeks as well and have actually considered getting a Radeon 7970 instead. But in the end that just wouldn't make me happy. Keep holding out. EVGA has said that they are going to have more.

+1 to the list of those waiting to buy a GTX 690. Wife is also waiting for me to buy one, as she then gets a 7970 for her rig.

wow awesome wife u got there. Is she a gamer?

She has a brand-new rig, with a place-holder 4890 that has a bad fan bearing... You can hear the graphics card whine all the way from the basement.  I can understand her impatience.

Im building a brand new ivy bridge rig with a placeholder gtx285 :P

My dual gtx590's ran pretty good in my rig a few months ago. But for the cost it really was a waste. I have learnt the expensive way single card sli is better IMO, thats MY OPINION. Because if you have a game that doesn't play well with sli, your much better off with higher clocked single card (disabling sli) than a disabled SLi on a 590/690 because the clocks are lower etc... Thats my opinion and I'm sticking to it.. :)

Same here... tired of the F5ing... Not a SINGLE card all week? the hell? lol

Sorry for the delay in responding here but real life work has kept me away.  Yes I did the pre-order for the signatue edition.  I suppose that was not a wise move but I really wasn't expecting their delay to be this long.  I did see that the GTX670's were being recalled because they were not tested out properly.  Maybe this will fall over on the GTX690s and I will not be generating an RMA.

Well, it's official. I'm absolutely losing my mind. I've actually contemplated getting the "Power Bundle" just to get this card. WT* EVGA? Just let us buy the card. We realize you're not selling the SR-2s and want to get rid of your stock of them, but honestly how many of those bundles are selling and getting returns on the motherboard? I'm still holding out for just the card.

Same here. I F5d from 3-6 since last saturday. They only sold the signature one time yesterday, which couldn't have been more than a couple and it sold out in less than a min... all week ****?

I picked up a signature one today, around 8 PM. Yay.

Damn nice. Todays the only day i didnt F5 spamming cause i was playing Diablo 3. lol
