sell the fourth one and get a cheaper physics card.

Woah this forum is back and I'm not banned. Anyway, just picked up a Galaxy 670 based on the 680 PCB from Newegg for $330 after MIR. Love my 5870s, they still do the job just fine. But if I can get better performance, lower power consumption, and lower temperatures from having a single card, I'm game.

Picked up a Gigabyte WinforceX3 GTX 680 OC model over the weekend amongst other things

**MUYA** · 09-07-12, 12:57 AM

Wow I am getting overclocks of core @ 1200/1280 MHz (base and boost) and mem at 6400MHz

Boost is 200+Mhz over reference

Temp max is 75 degrees C.

This is while playing Secret World! No crashes

Crashed when Overclocked to 1300mhz (boost)

I was quite happy with my GTX 570 that I had for a year and eight months. I was hoping to get another year at least, but leaving slots open in the computer for extra air circulation was too inviting to the mice I do battle with, looking for a winter home every fall. I had no idea they were going in and ****in and pissin all over the top of the card. Well...the card is dead and as are the mice. When I installed my new EVGA GTX670 FTW (factory overclocked) I also reinstalled the slotcovers over the unused slots to keep those little pricks out... There is a 30-40% improvement over the 570, so I'm not gonna cry about it too much.

I am impressed with my Gigabyte 680 as it run very cool less than 70 degrees celcius when stressed in gaming (secret world). Temps are less when playing xcom

I am super happy with my EVGA 680.

Haven't been here for awhile. Just got a zotax gtx 680. Was supposed to get the amp version but the supplier sent the vanilla card. Oh well, just get some of my money back, that's all.

wheeljack12 · 02-28-13, 10:33 PM

sold the vanilla card off. Now have a gtx 680 amp! Man this thing is cool, literally. Don't have to raise the fans to cool. Big card though. Even for a ATX Case.

**sillyeagle** · 03-01-13, 08:39 PM

Besy Buy has EVGA 660 SC on sale for $209, so I got one! Gonna get another one I think, but would have to order it as they only had 1 in stock.

Looks like 660 SLI gives GTX Titan performance at less than half the price. Would be $418 vs $999. 660 SLI performance falls right in between Titan and 690.

ViN86 · 03-12-13, 10:23 AM

I'm starting to get into CUDA development, so I picked up a GTX 680.

Should be here today woot.
