I don't have either (yet), but I'm told that the 680 will run quite nicely on optimal settings and that 690 (dual core right?) will likely make the game cry with its awesomeness. I think the 680 is $500 vs $1k for the 690 though right?
And the newly announced but not yet available 670 is only $400 and is less than 10% slower than the $500 680.
Personally still waiting for the $250-300 card.

Just looked up the GTX 690 specs. When I can figure out how to write it off as a business expense that baby is mine.

I'd be careful with this. The single-card SLI offerings have historically had issues in CoH.|

And more, you're likely to see a performance DECREASE in CoH as the 690's cores are down-clocked from the 680.

Not sure if CoH still has problems with single-card SLI but I am sure just about any series 600 Nvidia card ought to be total overkill for this game regardless.|

I've been playing this game with a GTX 580 for almost a year now and I've had it cranked up to maximum ultra settings and have had absolutely no problem with it. I can't even really remember the last time I saw any significant lag or rubberbanding even during big raids.
So yeah if a 580 can do that any newer series 600 card should be completely great for this game.

I honestly never really bumped FSAA beyond 4x because the difference wasn't really noticeable at 1920x1080 and the performance falloff for something unnoticeable isn't worth it.

That's cool. I read that they were supporting this new type of anti-aliasing but hadn't seen the details yet. I'll have to look into this.

Posted about it last night. Went from low-to-mid 40's average framerate with a high 20's minimum to a low-to-mid 50's average framerate with a low in the mid 30's.
The post announcing the drivers disappeared. Not sure why.
