EVGA GeForce GTX 680 Superclocked Made Official
Only teased last week, EVGA's factory-overclocked GeForce GTX 680s are becoming a reality, with the first one to get make it out being the GTX 680 SuperClocked. The SC model is based around NVIDIA's reference design but has a base clock of 1058 MHz (1006 MHz stock), a boost clock of 1113 MHz (1058 MHz), and a memory frequency of 6208 MHz (6008 MHz).
The GeForce GTX 680 SC also packs 1536 CUDA Cores, a 256-bit memory interface, 2 GB of GDDR5 VRAM, a PCI-Express 3.0 bus interface, 3D Vision Surround and SLI support, and dual-DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.
The 'vanilla' GTX 680 SuperClocked costs $519.99 while its backplate-equipped sibling goes for $529.99. Both should become available very, very soon.

Next videocard i'm getting will have a backplate!
Probally evga to
Stock coolers are beatiful, i don't care about noise of the cards looks so awesome
I guess RAM heatspreaders are there only for rigidness.
sad oc like this -- Elite AMD servants????
www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-680-overclock-guide/
with 1250 clock speed offset brek throgh HD6990 -how ever this GPU about 24% smallerthan hd7970 and over 30% faster than in some games like battle field 3 (in stock clock)
amd servants gonna servant
It has equal or higher power consumption at everything but max load, which most games won't hit, and blu-ray.
It is now creeping up in price, not due to Nvidia, but due to retailers. Same thing that happened to the 7970.
Don't get me wrong it is a awesome card, but comparing this minor OC to almost every 7970 has hit 1200Mhz with a minor voltage bump, and that makes the 680 pee its panties.
www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_680/31.html
default voltage was used on the 7970 1075, increased voltage on the 680.
www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Powercolor/HD_7950_PCS_Plus/30.html
This 7950 with tuning will outperform a 680 out of the box at the same frequency for less money by a average of 4% if you want to look at bang for the buck.
so if we rising up gtx580 clock in last gen to 6970 clock amd go to hell bro W T F
with much lower voltage in GTX680 you can reach to 1300~1400mhz and then the tahiti go to something LIKe piece of trash bro
hd7970 has 4.3 billion transistor and GK104 just about 3.5 billion - most efficient gpu ever built
if you wanna real comparing to this baby- so w8 for GK110/100 UASs = Acronym( ultra amd stupid servants) doing like this brother .im sorry about this but this forum where overfilled amd fans in all ways-
we let them up -haters gonna surrender
theres gonna be alot more highly overclocked cards for the same price or less by the time the cards start to really trickle down
to pioneer, . . . . . . . . fail, theres a difference between a stock overclock and a overclock you do your self which is never gaurenteed, they can overclock their cards to 1700mhz if they wanted to, that dosen't mean your card can.
GeForce GTX 680, no voltage tweaks, only ocing out of the box: 1250/6400 MHz ...
MSI Radeon HD 7970, no voltage tweaks, only ocing out of the box: 1200/7000 MHz
now with OC
GeForce GTX 680 at max, 1.18V - 1325/6600 MHz
MSI Radeon HD 7970 Lightning on max, 1.35V - 1300/7600 MHz
Score/Performance is +/- the same. BUT, Radeon is noisy as HELL with Power consuption with 1.35V (whole PC) 546W in that benchmark. GeForce GTX 680 with cheapo reference cooler is colder and still silent card. Power Consuption of GTX 680 at 1.18V (whole PC) is only 383W!!!. GeForce is winner here, the same performce with 163W better power consuption ... when reference GTX 680 better then best HD 7970 on market, imagine GTX 680 Lightning with better VRM ... will be absolute monster.
546w vs 383W = 42% Deffrences
with quiter than - cooler than -nether by stock cooler
EPIC LOL
