Hmmm.. this, or the MSI Power edition? The power edition is £5 more expensive, and I'm trying to save as much money as possible.

There's gotta be something wrong there.. In the sense of "I can't" do you mean it is unplayable on lowest settings?

No way. It comes close to the GTX 680 though. A GTX 690 is basically 2 GTX 680's. :D

Speaking from experience here, this card is better than a stock 680. It actually doesn't use the reference cooler, EVGA upgraded it for the FTW edition, and it also has 8 phase VRMs for high overclock ability. The only problems with it are the noise and heat, some times it can get a bit loud, or a bit hot, but not all the time. It also suffers in compute performance versus the HD 7000 series.
