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
We didn't expect to see NVIDIA launching the GeForce GTX 680 in March, but we are glad the card was launched early and very happy with the performance numbers and features! ...
Abstract: NVIDIA’s GTX TITAN is the highest priced graphics cards on the market so parallels will naturally be drawn between it an dual card setups. In this article, we look at now it lines up against SLI and Crossfire setups of the GTX 680, GTX 670, HD 7970 GH...
To set the stage for this conclusion, let’s take a quick trip down memory lane. Back in 2008 AMD introduced the HD 4870, a card that not only outperformed NVIDIA’s recently released GTX 260 but it came in at a significantly lower price point. That one ...
Price, Performance, Very quiet at full speed compared to other cards, NVIDIA Surround on a single GPU, Power consumption values are excellent, Overclocks very well...
256bit bus and only 2GB memory may be holding back performance...
Airman's (Mike's) Thoughts: I hope by now, after seeing these results, that everyone can come to an agreement with, or at least partially accept, NVIDIA’s claim that the GTX 680 is the fastest and most efficient GPU on the market. In nearly every test...
Abstract: Johannes Kepler once wrote, “Nature uses as little as possible of anything.” Nvidia's latest GPU, code-named Kepler after the German mathematician, looks to be inspired by that quote, as much as by the original Kepler's mathematical prowess. The new GPU —...
Pricey, pricey, pricey, Is it really a topend GPU?
That shouldn't take away from the fact that we've got a card in front of us that's cool, quiet and less power-hungry than Nvidia's normal top-end GPUs. It's not the power-crazed GPU behemoths we're used to from Nvidia, but it's still got the performance ...
