Released yesterday, this card is an absolute monster performer and rudely demolishes the competition. Amazingly, it actually outperforms two GTX 680's in SLI, despite having a slightly lower clock speed!
Prices range from around £840 to £930, with preorders everywhere - the few that were in stock sold out very quickly. A new batch is expected to be available from 7th May, but likely will sell out quickly, despite its enormous price. You can buy a whole PC for half that.
The card is roughly the price of two GTX 680's. However, it doesn't seem quite so steep when you consider that you don't need an SLI motherboard to run it, saving a fair bit of cash. They can of course, be run in pairs for quad SLI and we await those reviews with interest. Unlike the disappointing results of quad SLI setups from previous years, we expect two GTX 690's to work quite well.
There's more about the GTX 690 here and here.

Here are some reviews from all the usual suspects:
