EVGA GeForce GTX 680 FTW 4096MB GDDR5, DVI, DVI-D, HDMI, DisplayPort, 4-way SLI Ready Graphics Card (04G-P4-3687-KR) Graphics Cards 04G-P4-3687-KR

Awesome video card.Actually, perhaps beyond awesome.Installed easily and works like a dream. Quiet considering the power it has.Absolutely crushes benchmarks.Skyrim, Saint's Row 3, Sleeping Dogs, Guild Wars 2 all run amazingly well and at very high FPS even with settings beyond these programs "ultra" settings. Skyrim in particular runs excellently with this card even with a bunch of custom tweaking I have done to increase quality of video.Example: Skyrim set to beyond Ultra with manual settings and using just about every high res texture mod available still keeps nearly locked at 60FPS even while recording 1920x1080 Fraps video. It will drop now and again, but so far have never seen it drop below 35 FPS even while recording. Skyrim locks to 60FPS and should not be set above it or weird issues can result. So, having it lock to that rate and stay there is good not bad. It does drop now and again, but 80-90 of the time it's at 60FPS solid recording or not.Saint's Row 3 is just GORGEOUS with this card. I, again, went in and set custom settings to allow higher than the "ultra" settings in the menus and can't ever get it to drop below 35 FPS. Driving is great and much more responsive. If one wants more power just go to the ultra or high settings and bam 60+ FPS easily. Quality of video is more important to me than FPS though so I tend to tweak for quality always.Guild Wars 2 is doing good but will do better as time goes by. I get roughly 60+ FPS somewhat consistently with a few severe drops down to about 30-40 now and again. This is with the drivers recommend by ArenaNet. I have done a tiny bit of my own tweaking to improve this FPS and quality and I rarely have seen below 30 FPS (maybe 2 times??).FULL DISCLOSURE: I teach and work with 3d graphics (nVidia+DirectX+OpenGL) and bought this card as I teach nVidia tech.I am not just satisfied, I am ecstatic. This is one of the best video cards I have ever seen in my life.

I just bought three of these to replace my EVGA GTX680 Superclocked Signature 2GB cards. I found out the hard way that if you want to run a surround monitor setup, you really need to buy the version that has 4GB of DDR5. 2GB of DDR5 is not enough to fulfill the post-processed data buffer when gaming at high resolutions (i.e., 5760 x 1080 -or- 3240 x 1920). Games like Crysis 2 and BF3 are perfect examples of games that you will begin to see stutter when the VRAM buffer has been maxed out. I do play all my games at the highest settings, so that also contributes to this factor. Here are my PROs and CONs for this video card:PROs:1) Equipped with vapor chamber cooling (the reason why the card is 1/2" longer than the reference card; which means a non-reference PCB - and a non-standard waterblock if you want to liquid cool them later)2) 8-phase PWMs for more stable overclocking3) EVGA 3-year factory warranty stays with the card, regardless of who you sell it to! This is great for guys like me that sell their 'old' PC hardware and upgrade to the new hardware every 18 months ;-)4) EVGA Customer service is awesome - literally, second to none in the service they provide!CONs:1) Cost premium for vapor cooling and an extra 2GB of memory is tough for some folks to pay2) Backend of the card where the fan is located is not canted like on previous generation NVidia cards, this prevents efficient airflow into the fan intake3) There are other alternative solutions by other companies such as Galaxy and Asus that have superior cooling solutions, higher factory overclocks for $60 less! O.o4) All of EVGA's GTX680 series cards (including the Superclocked Signature 2 version with two fans) show that EVGA engineers continue to use an outdated cooling design. This proves that EVGA is NOT adapting to the times - other companies are providing much more affordable cards with superior performance - come on EVGA engineers! You can do better than this!! Show them what America can do!Bottomline, this is a very good card. Cost is a bit high, and better deals can be found. The one caveat is that EVGA does provide outstanding customer service. Whether or not this is worth the extra premium you will pay for EVGA products is up to you. If I had to do it again, I would have bought three EVGA Classified GTX680s since they only cost $30-40 more for each card. Oh well :(So whatever you decide, you can NOT go wrong with upgrading to one or more GTX680s. NVidia has outdone themselves this time around. The only real thing to complain about is the cost. But, that's the price you pay for being a PC gamer!

I bought this from Amazon Warehouse Deals, it said in the description "open box, never used" It was only about $10 cheaper than buying it used. I was in afghanistan, buying pieces to a new rig I intended to build when I got home. The card arrived in good condition, and my wife stowed it for when I was to get back, and when I did I was very disappointed. The card that was sent to me was the 2GB version of the GTX 680 card, not the 4GB version that I paid an extra ~$75 for. Being past the "I have issues" date, There's nothing I can do other than to install it anyway and lose that extra 2GB that I paid for, because I'm SLI'ing with another ACTUAL 4GB card.Very disappointing, I wish I could get a refund or a fix, but due to Amazon's policy I cannot. It's a shame.

Very disappointing. Dont waste you money on the 680 or 780 get the 770 or 670 versions....the bang isnt worth the 100 bucks.

I popped this board in my computer expecting great things upgrading from an AMD Radeon HD 6970, and I was very disappointed. The GTX 680 4GB was downright slow, even with the 4GB Ram. When I heard about the AMD RADEON HD 7990's 8.3 Teraflops of gaming goodness, I tried that board, and was blown away!The AMD Radeon HD 7990 kicks the snot out of this board, and Sapphire has one that's not overly expensive! Add the 8-game bundle, and I don't know why anyone would buy Nvidia.The AMD 7990 also supports 3D! Looks great on a 3D TV! The GTX 680 4GB couldn't handle 3D at 1920x1080p resolution. It was so slow it was completely unplayable.On my 46" Screen, the 7990 looks nearly Photo-realistic running DirectX 11, and is absolutely beautiful. If you have the means, I highly recommend it!
