The GTX 680 only has one HDMI connection
Not always appreciably faster than competing AMD card. Blocks an expansion slot. Requires a hefty power supply

One thing is certain after our overclocking, the default GPU Boost settings are not the highest frequency the GeForce GTX 680 is capable of. The GPU frequency can certainly be improved by manual overclocking. There is a bit of headroom yet to be had with...
