should i get the ares II (when it comes out) or the 690 for my new build
690
ares 2. asus is reliable, and it's liquid cooled. also, all the radeon hd 7xxx cards use the same drivers.... so you don't ahve tyo worry about that
I'd go for ares 2 for prestigious reasons..haha
but no doubt both cards will deliver stellar performance no matter what, but the 680 cores in the 690 are stock clocked lower
