EVGA GeForce GTX 680 1006MHZ 2GB 6GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI DisplayPort HDMI PCI-E 3.0 Video Card
Cons:VERY short supply and a bit pricey...

Pros:Low Noise. Low TDP. High performance.
Comment:
Crazy card! I upgraded from a GTX 570 to this beast and gained on average about 80 to 90% performance on most games! Installation went smooth on my Sandy Bridge based rig.Works like a charm!Now, it is an expensive component but compared with what others (mainly ATI) have to offer, this is the most powerful single GPU you can own at this time!However, this card is ONLY good when it comes to games. Benchmarks on other kinds of software (AES, basic CAD and stuff...) were weak. But one has to keep in mind that the GeForce brand is designed exclusively for gaming.So if you plan on putting money on these puppies for serious (or less serious work), you might wanna pass on this one.Highly recommended for those gamers out there seeking to upgrade and have 500+ dollars to spare.

Cons:$566 is pretty steep for this card. i got mine for 499 from evga. i'm sure ncix will price match though. hard to get your hands on one still.

Pros:wow. power efficient extremely powerful and very very quiet
Comment:
i was running 2 gtx 570 oc before and was getting roughly 45 fps in BF3. with a single 680 i avg 50-70 ish and it's dead silent. it also uses less power than a single 570.

EVGA GeForce GTX 680 1006MHZ 2GB 6GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI DisplayPort HDMI PCI-E 3.0 Video Card
Cons:Some utilities may have lower results (Dolphin emulator).Could be noisy on 85% fan.

Pros:Perfect 60 frames per second always. Easy to install drivers. Low watts on idle. When it gets warm it's the best fireplace (64°or higher)
Comment:
I never had graphics card before because I had a integrated graphics on motherboard. I never felt this experience before playing skyrim with 17 graphical mods all I can say is "It's so beautiful" that's all I say in a nutshell. This review was modfied by poster @ 04-24-12 05:19 PM

EVGA GeForce GTX 680 1006MHZ 2GB 6GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI DisplayPort HDMI PCI-E 3.0 Video Card
Cons:None.

Pros:Powerful, Cool, Awesome!
Comment:
Got one of the first batches of these EVGA 680s, and am super impressed. Upgraded from a 7970 - this thing is noticeably faster, way quieter, cooler and is perfectly stable. No more crappy drivers / blue screens / AMD in my system. Super happy - considering SLI in the future. The only thing I'd look into instead of this card is the EVGA 680 with the backplate maybe...

This card is an extremely well deserved update  from my 8800 GTS 512 iu bought a few years ago. The card gives amazing results and keeps on giving. AS of now, all my games have been on full graphics with no sign of slowing down.If you can take on the price tag, go for it!

EVGA GeForce GTX 680 1006MHZ 2GB 6GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI DisplayPort HDMI PCI-E 3.0 Video Card
Cons:My cards did not overclock very well, couldn't get +125 stable on the core.

Pros:Bought two of these to play BF3 on ultra 4xMSAA at 2560x1440.Works as intended, but dips during heavy explosions (think 4+ C4s, or tanks blowing up right in front of you). Otherwise stays above ~60-80fps.
Comment:
Other games i've had time to try is dead space 2, runs at 250+ fps.

EVGA GeForce GTX 680 1006MHZ 2GB 6GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI DisplayPort HDMI PCI-E 3.0 Video Card
Cons:-Sleep issue with EVGA motherboards

Pros:-Great performance-Extremely quiet even at full load-Lot's of new features-Best warranty with EVGA
Comment:
I bought this card about a week ago and replaced the two 560s that I had running in my system in SLI. The performance increase is very noticeable and I can now run Battlefield 3 on Ultra settings with 4x MSAA well above 60 fps. The card also runs extremely quietly even when it's at full load. I can't even hear it at all, to be honest. I haven't tried overclocking yet but I will soon. Either way, this card is a great buy and is well worth the upgrade.Only one issue with it right now is that it has some kind of bug with EVGA motherboards where instead of waking up from sleep, it just restarts the computer altogether. EVGA is looking into the issue right now so I'm sure there will be a fix soon for this minor annoyance.

EVGA GeForce GTX 680 1006MHZ 2GB 6GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI DisplayPort HDMI PCI-E 3.0 Video Card
Cons:none

Pros:Quietruns at a low temp (compared to other nvidias)Price was decent at launch
Comment:
Replaced my gtx 470 with this and WOW. Big big difference. The card I have overclocks like mad with the limited testing I've done. 200Mhz on the core and 700Mhz on the memory so far. I run it at stock though as it plays BF3 at 90fps avg with maxed settings at 1920x1200. Haven't seen the temp over 67c yet, Idles at 26c.Great card, I'm very happy! If you've got 500 bucks to throw at a gpu I think this is the one!

EVGA GeForce GTX 680 1006MHZ 2GB 6GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI DisplayPort HDMI PCI-E 3.0 Video Card
Cons:none

Pros:FAST!!! and only 499!
Comment:
I got this to replace my SLI GTX480's this single card blows the SLI480's out of the water! first of all it has rocked every game ive tried on FPS. example BF3 I was getting around 70-90 FPS in High settings this one card I have seen 130 FPS and no lower than 90 in High Settings. Temps were no higher than about 70 when I was playing BF3 for two hours and sits around 25 to 30 when out of game. compare that to my 480SLI config I had to Crank the fans to 100% otherwise they would fly up to over 100 degress in no time. If you can find one its a great buy!
