Cons: NONE!!!
Pros: Runs too cool, 60 C under max loadAstonishing performance. Comment:
This card is fantastic, running one and bought another one for SLI. This card plays BF2 Ultra settings completely maxed on 60 fps, minimum 50 fps in multiplayer. upgraded from two gtx 570'sone 680 beats the two of them. The maximum fps in some games can be higher for the 570's however there are no random dips in performance with the 680 it is always running smooth. Really good card. 3dmark11 Performace score is P8600 with one card !!!All in all if you have the money Go for IT. ITS THE FASTEST SINGLE GPU CARD. It even makes the gtx 580 look outdated. |

Cons: Cranking the fan up past 70% will make this card very loud, moreso in SLI. Quite expensive for a reference card (no 8 pin power or any voltage related tweaks for overclocking).
Pros: Runs very quiet and extremely cool, overclocks well considering it's reference with a custom cooler, great build quality and style Comment:
I have these in SLI and I'm amazed at how cool they run. Load temps in BF3 max out at 65C and 55C (top and bottom card) and they are barely audible at these temps. My case fans are much louder. Good case cooling will drop the temps on these cards quite a bit in SLI.My cards aren't fantastic overclockers but so far I can get 1250core stable which is a nice bump in performance and that's at the above temps and noise levels. Unlike Windforce models, the cooler is pretty solid and looks durable. Some custom coolers are heavy and the weight often makes the cards sag on one end I don't notice that with these cards.Very happy with these and I'd surely recommend them. |
I needed a major video card improvement in my older i7 system to keep me going for at least another year and this card fit the bill. Driving two hi def monitors with no problem though I usually game on just one. The best part compared to other cards is the twin frozer cooling system as it keeps it cool and quiet. I manually crank up the fans before gaming as I prefer cooler temps than noise. Even cranked up the fans are not too loud. It is a 680 so the gaming is wonderful and worry free as no need to tweak settings to keep frame rates high enough.
