GTX 680

[Natmeister]

I Just ordered a gtx 680, should be here by Wednesday. Anyone else on these forums have one (or two)?
Are you pleased with the performance? Any advice on overclocking?

cards are pretty damn good, overclocking is simple use a proper tool that supports your card aka if you have EVGA use EVGA precision, the cards use a clock offset so manual overclocking = impossible you set a clock offset test for stabilitty since its using Dynamic clocks it will try and hit the clock speed you set when gaming, but its not guarenteed example some games you will see no OC at all aka card will stay at stock 1006 core or w.e but in other titles with your OC it might push 1200 it depends on the game your OC etc,

aka say 1006 and 1058 is what your card runs and you push it to 1100 and by extension 1150 via boost, the card will in reality run a clock speed ranging anywhere from 1006 - 1150 aka your max boost clock etc, you can set regular clock and boost clocks but again never 100% you will hit those speeds. On top of this TEMPS play a huge part in clock speed

Its the current top of the line graphics card, so its going to be nice. I have one, I like it. If I had a 580sli or something like it, or a 7970, I'd not buy one because it wouldn't be that much better.

I haven't tried OCing it yet.
