 gigatour 800x600hThe Gigabyte GeForce GTX 680 Super Overclock (model number GV-N680SO-2GD) received the previously introduced WindForce 5X cooling system. The 5X marking in the product name indicates the number of fans used. The positioning of dust mixers with a diameter of 40 millimeters is very interesting, as they are located perpendicular to the board of the video card. According to the information, the monster spreading in 3 slots keeps the card at 60 degrees at full load, which is a really commendable result when you look at the 1137 MHz GPU clock and the 6,40 GHz GDDR5 on-board memories. The GPU Boost is able to cross the 2 GHz operating frequency by 1,20 MHz under ideal conditions. After that, it’s not at all surprising that the controller needs to be fed through a 6-pin and an 8-pin PCI-E power connector.

Released in June, the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 680 Super Overclock is expected to cost $ 840, which is also really hair-raising. Therefore, the price would have accommodated 4GB of onboard memory on the card, but as of now, we have to fit in with half that.
