MSI GeForce GTX 680 Lightning 2 GB

Great review.

I hope you get a chance to review the MSI N670 Power Edition. It also makes use of the Twin Frozr IV cooling system and will apparently have unlocked voltage (the same as the lightning) once the next version of Afterburner is released.

Boost Speed?

Not clear on the overclock here. 1225Mhz base core speed.

I purchased a Galaxy GTX680 SOC one week ago. During 3D runs (3Dmark11 and Heaven) adding +15 on the core, I'm at 1308Mhz core and rock solid. Seems most are hitting 1300Mhz plus with the Galaxy GTX680 SOC.

I see GPUZ indicates 1291mhz, but during 3D runs you will see a higher number...

What is your boost speed during a Heaven or 3Dmark11 run?

What you talkin' about Willis?

OC a custom and away you go. AMD are just retarded at making quiet cards. Anyway, the GHz (1100 core?) cards are just around the corner, hopefully customer versions are allowed at release. That's the review I'm interested in.

But this card is too expensive (in the UK). Most reasonable custom cards, like this are £500+ (equal to $780). This specific card is £530 ($828), take off our tax it's still £440 ($688).

If the AMD GHz cards come out at more than the current 7970 prices, I'll boycott AMD out of spite next time I buy.

I know what you mean, I got a 7950 Sapphire OC Edition @ 1120/1575..but even a 670 is faster in some cases
