Nvidia's Kepler GTX 680 Video Card for hardcore PC Gaming

Here's Nvidia's Kepler GTX 680 Video Card for hardcore PC Gaming.



Based on specs alone, the 680 is a more powerful beast than its predecessor, but it's also more practical too. The four display outputs mean you can drive four monitors (at up to 4K 3840x2160 resolution!) at once from a single card. That goes for 3D vision surround, meaning you don't have to splurge on an SLI setup if you're into giving yourself a headache. Also notable is the reduced power consumption of the card, which has a TDP of 195 Watts, compared to 250 Watts in a GTX 580, meaning you only need two six-pin connectors, and you can run it from a much smaller power supply.

Multiple acronyms aside, just what do you get if you plump down your hard-earned cash for a GTX 680? Quite a bit as it goes: 1536 CUDA Cores, 128 Texture Units, 32 ROP Units, 1Ghz Base Clock, 2GB GDDR5 RAM @ 6Ghz, 128.8 GigaTexels/sec Filtering Rate, 28nm Fabrication, 2x Dual Link DVI, 1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort, 2x 6-pin Power Connectors, and a 195 Watt TDP.



NVIDIA is positioning this video card to sell at the $499 price point.
