Question for PC Tech Nerds: Will a GTX 680 be able to keep up with Next gen consoles?

Keyword is consoles. (PS4/Xbox 720)


Obviously it will be outdated by PC standards when the 690 hits the shelves.


Please don't respond to this thread if you're equally as ignorant as I am on the subject. Expert geeks only.

You mean at launch or throughout the whole Gen?

690 have been out for a while now. It's basically 2 680's on 1 card. PS4/720 will not be anywhere near up to par with a 680.

Buy a $150 card every 2 years and it will serve you better than just being stuck with a 680. In 6-7 years it will be in the PC world.

It will be better than the PS4/720 card tho thats for sure

I dont think people fully grasp how weak consoles are to PCs..

7 years is a whole gen.

The 680 will not be looking pretty in 7 years.

Seriously, you sound like you should stick to consoles because this is clearly a whole new league for you

and the sky is blue



I'm not worried about 7 yrs, I'm asking about next gen consoles


but while we're on the subject...

How will it compare to console ports in 7 yrs?

you are trolling

Get a new $150 card every 2 years and be guaranteed to the whole gen.

Gaming with a 680 in 2020 is like gaming with a 8800 in 2013...its just not a good look. TRUST me on this.

Next gen consoles probably won't even have cards in them that can compare with a 660ti let alone a 680. the thing about consoles is they're closed box so they can optimize the shyt out of the games for them. PC games aren't optimized like that.

i don't know what you're planning but i'd get at least one next generation console even with a GTX 680.
