Wonder if those claims that the GTX 680 were right about it being 45% faster than the *cough*HD 7970*cough* that I've been eyeing for the better part of the last two months or so. Don't worry, I plan to be loyal to EVGA, and go back to nVidia graphics. AMD graphics were nice when Windows 7 first launched, but right now... It's about time I went back to being a GeForce Junkie again.
Hmm, 45 percent is quite impressive if those rumors held true. Alas, I am guessing around +10-15 percent in some apps, -10-15 percent in others? Must...get....real......benchmarks....soon:)

I wonder what a 690's damage would do... oh. the drool.

My worry is that GK110 may be coming out in 6 months, so the purpose of 680 is similar to that of the 480 2 years ago.

scarface_810 big qustion who here geting a EVGA 680 GTX on mar 22 or 23 i know i am I already sold off my 3-way GTX 580 Hydro 3 GBs, waiting on 2-way GTX 680s (air cooled)! Money in the bank, waiting to burn... Don't want to dip into 3-way until the more premium cards come out (Classified). Though, they will have to be the 4 GB versions of the EVGA GTX 680 before I *can* buy them. I have tri-monitors @ 6000x1080 resolution, that requires upwards of 2.8 GB of vram in BF3. I'm going back to air-cooled because my system was too damn efficient at removing that heat - and dumping out that heat into my office, increasing my ambient to 90F+! To justify that "downgrade" of H2O to radiant heat, here's the formula I used to justify to myself: - GTX 680s may have less than 225W power consumption (per the 2x6-pin connectors). Yes, the Toms hardware review noted above shows like 370+: remember, they measure the power draw of the entire system (I am just talking about the card itself, before overclocking).
- The 2-way GTX 680 SLI scores of stock speeds is just a bit under 3-way GTX 580s overclocked heavily that I could find on modsrigs (over 960 Mhz on the core).
- I'll have only 2 lower-powered cards versus the 3 higher-powered cards.
Looks like a win for me! But EVGA: YOU GOT TO RELEASE THE 4 GB VERSIONS ASAP

Yep GTX 680 with 2gb is a bit useless, they should have made all of them 4gb...
