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
Expensive (Although Priced aggresively)
Additional Considerations for Overclockers
Still pricey
Less onboard memory than comparable AMD cards
Expensive
Dynamic OC can't be turned off
Manual overclocking more complicated than before
Noisy in 3D
Voltage controller has no software voltage control neither monitoring
Is the GTX 680 a HD 7970 killer? The short answer to this is yes, but as with most things a full response would not be as black and white. When it comes down to performance, the GTX 680 is between 10% to 15% faster across the board compared to the HD 7...

With a tremendous amount of information now under our belts, we can boil things down, almost cruelly, to a few simple results in a final couple of scatter plots. First up is our overall performance index, in terms of average FPS across all of the games w...
Nvidia’s response to AMD’s recent advances is quite a success. Based on the GK104 processor with the new Kepler architecture, the GeForce GTX 680 graphics card has proved to be somewhat faster than the AMD Radeon HD 7970 across all the tests. It is al...

Nvidia has introduced some impressive innovations in its new single-GPU flagship card, the GeForce GTX 680. Hard-core PC gamers shouldn't expect down-the-board AMD-crushing frame rates, but reduced power bills are a distinct possibility....

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 Reference CardThe NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 is full of all kinds on win. Despite using fewer transistors, having a smaller die, and consuming less power, the GeForce GTX 680 is faster than the AMD Radeon HD 7970 overall. The GK104...

NVIDIA clearly has a winner on their hands with the GTX 680. The new card, which is based on NVIDIA's GK104 graphics processor, that introduces the Kepler architecture, is a significant leap forward both in terms of performance and GPU technology. Tech...
and FVWhen NVidia invited me out to check out what they had been working on I was excited but unsure of what to expect. They had been very quiet about what to expect up until that point. After getting the full breakdown their and heading home to put t...
So much to cover, so little time.There are two sides to the GTX680. On the one hand there is the elements that we can test right now, and will make a difference to the average person, and on the other we have the wealth of features that are an attempt to...
We’ve said from the very first time we laid out hands on a 28nm GPU that you’d be foolish to rush into a high-end GPU purchase without waiting to see what the competition had to offer, and boy has it been worth the wait. While not superior in every tes...
The simple fact right up front here is that Kepler improves upon Fermi in every regard, from performance and power consumption, to features and software. On the surface it may not seem significantly different; after all, the GeForce GTX 680 doesn't loo...
