GTX 680
« on: March 29, 2012, 04:30:46 AM »
Fast just got faster.

My recommendation is to wait for Kepler but...

Two dual-link DVI - displayport - HDMI... 4 concurrent displays.

5-12% faster than 7970. Your choice.  :D

That 5-12% is rather close to 4... also it costs 700 bucks in Hungary... my entire computer was 700 bucks a year ago (about 550 in the states) and runs AH with just the same 60fps with all the eye candy on as the 680.
Where it really overtakes the AMD's product is the power consumption. I would recommend this card over the HD7970.
A GTX570 or a HD 6950 is enough to run any game fully detailed at a playable frame rate. This card is for the tomorrow's games, its awesome, but honestly i wouldnt buy it.

So you no longer need to buy two nvidias just to run 3 screens? :D

Man!  Video cards are *expensive* in the top tier!

Back in June 2010 I spent US $280 on the ATI 5850 card that I'm still using.  I was curious about moving up, perhaps to a 7950, but retail for that is in the US $450-500 range.  *sigh*
