Brian what are you basing that opinion on? I agree but for a different reason. The gtx 580 or 590 has almost double the CUDA power (not cores) as the 680 or 690, and more than triple the 670. It is a very significant upgrade to CUDA and the 3D raytracing engine I have experienced first hand. nVidia gimped the CUDA performance on the kepler gpus. This has been shown on multiple benchmarks. Also the gtx 580 is cheaper than a new 680. I'd highly recommend the 3GB 580 or the 6GB 590. a lot of bang for the buck

I am in the process of buying a new workstation and I am wondering if I should add the $750 cost to upgrade from a Nvidia GTX 670 to the GTX 690.
I am a prosumer who works primarily with After Effects, Premiere Pro and Photoshop. 
Also am wondering since Windows 8 is due to be launched soon if I should wait so that I will have a turnkey system.
Thank you very much.  I enjoy this list immensely and appreciate the knowledge that I obtain from it.
