Palit GeForce GTX 680 JetStream 4 GB Pictured
Soon after launching GeForce GTX 680 JetStream, Palit is working on its variant with double the amount of memory, at 4 GB. The GTX 680 JetStream 4 GB joins Gainward's GTX 680 Phantom 4 GB and Galaxy GTX 680 4 GB, at being some of the first cards with double the memory amount, which could just come handy with triple-monitor 3D Vision Surround setups.
Unlike the 2 GB GTX 680 JetStream, which has 1150 MHz (core boost) and 6.30 GHz (memory), the 4 GB variant sticks to NVIDIA reference clock speeds of 1056 MHz (core boost) and 6.00 GHz (memory). Like the 2 GB variant, the new card will use 6-pin and 8-pin PCIe power connectors to draw power. We can see from pictures that the PCB is a slight variation of NVIDIA's reference design, besides the GDDR5 memory chips on the reverse side of the PCB, which are not cooled by any back-plate. Its launch could be very soon.

i throug they did like on the GTX 580 3gb everyone on the front of the pcb under the heatsink.
Paper launch of the year award goes to....
my compliments to the engineers
but For that much money yes it should have one IMO. :rolleyes:
front does look e-sexy :pimp:
so if it was me buying a 4gig card i would mount some ram sinks on them anyway.
would be nice to see a backplate of decent quality though.
By now everyone in the enthusiast community surely knows that double memory cards by budget brands use slow cheap non-overclockable memory modules and low binned GPUs to make a premium card to sell to idiots who buy graphics cards on RAM amount because the rest of the specs and performance charts make their brains hurt.
Don't do it.
