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
AMD's 7000 series relies on a graphics architecture that is drastically different from previous AMD chips, so we may still see much better performance with driver improvements, but right now, if you have £400 to spend on a graphics card, the GeForce GT...
Performances on par with the competition, Low noise levels, Power use on par with the competition, Interesting extra functions: reducing and limiting framerate, advanced vertical sync etc.
GPU Boost function: risks creating slight differences in performance between different cards
All in all, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 is an excellent graphics card. Gaming performances are fast, power use is low for this kind of performance level, and the card is particularly quiet. Based on these standard review criteria, it's a five-star model...
Abstract: Unless you have been living under a large rock and are a self-confessed technophobe, NVIDIA's launch of the impressive GeForce GTX 680 graphics card will most certainly have grabbed your attention. Righting many of the wrongs present in the Fermi architec...
Abstract: 28nm process and heady speeds The tech flavour for the month of March is very much with graphics cards. Spicing up the second half of the month is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 GPU, now readily available for some £410. Our architecture analysis of said card ...
In a nut shell, nVidia GeForce GTX 680 SLI scales really, really well. Overall perhaps a little bit less than AMD Radeon HD 7970 Crossfire, but in 5760x1080 it outperforms AMD's card. That's also the resolution where SLI truly comes into its own. If you...
Abstract: Enthusiasts want to know about Nvidia's next-generation architecture so badly that they broke into our content management system and took the data to be used for today's launch. Now we can really answer how Kepler fares against AMD's GCN architecture. ...
The GeForce GTX 680 is a mid-range GPU that performs great even in the high-end segment. The expression "a wolf in sheep's clothing" has never been more apt for a graphics card. After seeing these results we are even more curious about what would have h...
Pricey, pricey, pricey, Is it really a top, end 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 ch...
