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

Abstract: Just over a month ago we published our AMD driver analysis article looking at the progress two generations of AMD flagship GPUs, the HD 7970 and R9 290X, had made with driver updates. We compared each flagship card's launch drivers to the latest drivers a...
Abstract: A gamer simply can't get enough graphics power in their rig, which makes the upgrade question omnipresent. To show you whether it makes sense to upgrade from one generation to another we created this series of articles, where we will compare graphics card...
Abstract: It hasn't been a long time that Unigine Corporation released a new version of their Heaven benchmark. One day after that, they showed a new benchmark: Unigine Valley 1.0. The developer team behind which has its roots in Siberia, found inspiration in their...
Abstract: A few days ago we introduced you to the concept of of frametime tests , a more accurate way of gauging graphics card performance in video games. Today we are applying the new test for the first time, and with the new data we will compare the AMD Radeon...
Abstract: Today Futuremark released a new version of its popular 3DMark benchmarking software, which has been part of the standard Hardware.Info tests since the first version appeared in 1999. Futuremark seems to be taking a cue from Apple with the name this time...
Abstract: Two graphics cards, ten processors, ten benchmarks If you like playing games in Full HD resolution with all fancy graphical effects enabled, you obviously need to invest in a high-end graphics card. If you're looking at buying one of the current high-end...
Abstract: When we review a new graphics card on Hardware.Info and list the benchmark results, the charts also include other cards from the current and previous generation to put things in perspective. We typically don't go back further in time to avoid clutter, b...
Abstract: nVidias GeForce GTX 680 the fastest single GPU graphics card on the planet? Bitch Please! Here we go again, a good old fashioned ATI/AMD vs nVidia like we all love to see. So here's the thing: using latest drivers we're going to show you which is todays f...
Abstract: In this article we are going to show you how well - or not - multi GPU setups scale in recent games. On 14 pages we are going to show you the performance of two GTX 680, two Radeon HD 7970 and two Radeon HD 7950 in theoretical benchmarks as well as state ...
Abstract: In this article we are going to analyse two things: first the clock per clock performance between the GTX 670 and GTX 680 both clocked at 1 GHz. To do so we have bypassed the GPU Boost so the graphics cards have a minimum and maximum clock frequency of 1 ...
