The Card
The GTX 680 TGT Ultra uses three large fans that cover the whole graphics card. On the back, a backplate has been installed. It helps protect components against damage and provides a bit of cooling for the memory chips on the back side.
The card requires three slots in your system.
Display connectivity options include two dual-link DVI ports, one full-size HDMI port and one full-size DisplayPort. You may use all the outputs at the same time thanks to NVIDIA Kepler's new display output controller.
An HDMI sound device is included in the GPU as well. It is HDMI 1.4a compatible - includes HD audio and support for 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 GTX 680 cards from any vendor in a multi-GPU SLI configuration for higher frame-rates or better image quality settings.
