It's the software, not the hardware. I don't think I've ever been able to get that 3dMark11 to work.
I was torn between getting a 690 and waiting for the 780. Decided to get the 690 because there is no release date yet of the 7 series. The whole reason I upgraded from my 680 was because I want to upgrade to a 1440p monitor. I plan in doing that soon, so I didn't want to wait for the titan cards.
