Reviews - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2GB graphics card

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Gibbo over at OcUK has confirmed that stock is arriving next week and that the card will match HD7970 prices.

If thats the case then it better be a good performer!

Yeah sure, I have 450 quid spare in my back pocket...

Bring it on, Cant wait for this Graphics card to come out, I've been saving my pennys for a while. My hopes are that its future proof for 2 Years. i hope its also quiet as I am sick of loud GPU cards with a decent thermal range. I will finally be able to play Crysis 1 on my 19" monitor

More pics and specs at Tomshardware, does look a very interesting card, price will be the deter factor.

I can't decide if you're being sarcastic with that last comment or not.

If not, then my old GF8800GTX was more than capable of doing Crysis on a 19" monitor. So my current 460SOC would do it easily - and while that card isn't silent, I've never had any complaints about the noise level of it from other folks.

So let's see how your previous conjecture matches up with reality.

Looking at the overclocking results here, and considering that it looks pretty bloody good in BF3, I'm on the fence with this one. My card gets 55-60FPS with ultra settings. Would be nice to have a bit in reserve on the card though.

Will wait and see if I need it for any of the DLCs, by then it'll be a bit cheaper too.

Keys are labelled incorrectly on the power consumption and temperature draw graphics (orange bar both labelled as "noise"

Nice ! looking forward to the non-ref...

Good gaming card. 4 and a half stars about right and AMD have a bit of work to do.

[EvanJackPenn]

This should force a price drop across the board from AMD. I'm looking forward to seeing both AIB designs and the mid-range Kepler GPUs

Great! Now, any news/hints on lesser models?!

Only the GTX670TI - I mentioned it in the other thread.

The only bits of information we have is that it is GK104 based and has a 700MHZ range base clockspeed.

Wow, seems Nvidia have got it with this one! Great performance, good pricing, good power consumption and no need for an adapter.

Congratulations Nvidia!

"Memory-side concessions hurt it at ultra-high settings"

not good.
