The Card
NVIDIA's reference design cooler, follows the company's black and green cooler theme. The board looks immediately familiar, following the design of great products such as GTX 580.
The card requires two slots in your system.
Display connectivity options include one dual-link DVI port (with analog VGA), one dual-link DVI port (digital only), one full size HDMI port and one full size DisplayPort. You may use all the outputs at the same time, thanks to NVIDIA's new display output logic that is introduced with Kepler. This also makes triple screen multi-monitor gaming easy now, since you need only one card.
An HDMI sound device is included in the GPU, too. It is HDMI 1.4a compatible which includes HD audio, support for 4K and Blu-ray 3D movies. The DisplayPort outputs are version 1.2 which enables the use of hubs and Multi-Stream transport.
You may combine up to four GeForce GTX 680 cards from any vendor in a multi-GPU SLI configuration for higher framerates or better image quality settings.
