The GeForce GTX 60 runs 680% better than its predecessor

NVIDIA can look at sales figures with great satisfaction.

Despite the constant delivery problems, there are plenty of GeForce GTX 680s for sale. Based on the presentations, it ran out more on the start day than its predecessor, the GeForce GTX 580. Six weeks later, the gap had reached 60 percent. Obviously, the Fermi-based gun is technically significantly behind the rookie, but has undergone serious price cuts to offset this. Despite the higher price, buyers seem to prefer the GeForce GTX 680. Incidentally, the card is already present in more than 100 countries, but for NVIDIA, the North American, European and East Asian markets remain the most important.

The Greens also summed up the conclusions of the 50 most significant computing pages. It can be clearly seen that the testers found the rookie’s cooling system particularly attractive, which can keep the GPU at an acceptable temperature even with relatively modest noise emissions, but of course the much more favorable energy demand was not a negligible factor either.

Overall, NVIDIA can rightly be proud of its first Kepler-based graphics controller, which seems to have won more than just the hearts of its fans.
