Taiwan-based Gigabyte Technology is now working on releasing another customized GeForce GTX 680 card, a model codenamed GV-N680OC-4GD which is factory overclocked, packs 4 GB of memory (double the amount of most GTX 680s), and comes equipped with a WINDFORCE 3X 450 W triple-fan cooler.
Gigabyte's card also has an Ultra Durable VGA design (2oz copper PCB, Ferrite Core (Metal) Chokes, Low RDS (on) MOSFET, Japanese Solid Capacitor), a GPU clocked at 1071/1137 MHz Base/Boost (standard is 1006/1058 MHz), a 256-bit memory interface, a memory clock of 6008 MHz, and dual-DVI, HDMI (gold-plated) and DisplayPort outputs. No word yet on availability or pricing.

And then there's the demographic of people who want to stick one of *The most badass card he/she can afford & can use to showoff*, but don't really know much about computers (usually very little). This card is a perfect for that.
And how big is this demographic? From the people I encountered in the last 5 years: MUCH larger than the people genuinely interested in SLI.
That being said, I will get me 3 x GTX 680 4gb in early 2013 and run 3D surround. But no tri-slot, thanks. Already 3 video cards is 6 slots, I'll probably need one of them crazy 9-slot mobos...
