Testing the nVidia Geforce GTX 690 SLI graphics card in old and new games.
Support Iceberg Tech: / icebergtech
2012 was a weird time for PCs. The current trend among power users and rich enthusiasts was multi-GPUs; combining the power of several graphics cards linked across SLI or Crossfire. Because corporations don't quite know when to stop, there was a brief trend for single graphics cards with multiple GPUs onboard.
The last generation of these cards from Team Green were based on the Kepler architecture; those cards, including the GTX 690 featured here, are now left in the awkward position of having an architecure that is oncompatible with many new games, and relying on a now-defunct multi-GPU gimmick.
In this video I'll chart the GTX 690's descent from flagship powerhouse to borderline irrelevance, using games from 2011 through to the present day.
