Product Description

Product Description

The new Asus GTX680-DC2O-2GD5 with Digi+ VRM for the ultimate power control and enhanced Overclocking comes with the Asus exclusive DirectCU II for up to 20% better cooling.

NVIDIA's Kepler GPU architecture has been designed from the ground up not just for maximum performance in the latest DirectX 11 games, but optimal performance per watt. The new SMX streaming multiprocessor is twice as efficient as the prior generation and the new geometry engine draws triangles twice as fast. The result is world class performance and the highest image quality in an elegant and power efficient graphics card.

Up until now, GPUs have operated at a fixed clock speed when playing 3D games, even if they have the potential to run faster. GPU Boost intelligently monitors graphics work load and increases the clock speed whenever possible. The result is that the GPU always performs at its peak and you get the highest framerate possible.

Nothing is more distracting than framerate stuttering and screen tearing. The first tends to occur when framerates are low, the second when framerates are high. Adaptive V-Sync is a smarter way to render frames. At high framerates, V-sync is enabled to eliminate tearing, at low frame rates, it's disabled to minimize stuttering. It gets rid of distractions so you can get on with gaming.

PhysX is designed specifically for hardware acceleration by powerful processors with hundreds of cores. Combined with the tremendous parallel processing capability of the GPU, PhysX will provide an exponential increase in physics processing power and will take gaming to a new level delivering rich, immersive physical gaming environments.

NVIDIA CUDA technology is the world’s only C language environment that enables programmers and developers to write software to solve complex computational problems in a fraction of the time by tapping into the many-core parallel processing power of GPUs. With millions of CUDA-capable GPUs already deployed, thousands of software programmers are already using the free CUDA software tools to accelerate applications—from video and audio encoding to oil and gas exploration, product design, medical imaging, and scientific research.

Nothing is as breathtaking as playing your favorite games across three monitors. At 5760 x 1080, the expanded field of view fully engages human peripheral vision and provides for the most immersive experience in racing and flight simulators. Add in a fourth display to keep tabs on chat, email or web while you are gaming.

NVIDIA 3D Vision brings a fully immersive, stereoscopic 3D experience to the PC. A combination of high-tech wireless glasses and advanced software, 3D Vision transforms hundreds of PC games into full stereoscopic 3D. Get up to 2x monitor and keyboard brightness with NVIDIA 3D LightBoost technology. In addition, you can enjoy 3D movies and 3D digital photographs from 3DVisionLive.com in eye popping, crystal-clear quality.

Used by the most demanding gamers worldwide, SLI lets you link up to three GeForce GTX 680s together for astounding performance. And with NVIDIA’s track record for fast and frequent software updates, you’ll not only get the best performance in existing games, but future games too.

Blu-ray and HD DVD movies are bringing a new level of movie-viewing experience; with high-definition image quality far surpassing standard-definition DVDs. NVIDIA PureVideo HD2 technology provides unsurpassed Blu-ray and HD DVD movie picture quality.

The 680 is a great buy, nice and quiet and perfect for the latest games plus works well with CUDA programs like Adobe Photoshop and Premiere cc. Also gives over 60fps on highest setting in Cryengine 3.

Got this card in the post in Germany yesterday and it's fantastic.i havnt found anything that this card won't play.i now have a cpu bottleneck if I turn v-sync off.delivery was in 3 days by dhl.Card was well packaged and undamaged on arrival.
The card's boost clock is advertised as 1084mhz.thats a lie my cards boost clock is 1196mhz in some games and I think the monster cooler is reason it's allowing itself to boost so high.by monster I mean monster.this card is huge.3 slots wide and a shade under a foot long so be careful and measure before purchase.
Closing comment....buy it it will serve u well for years to come

Yeah it's good but glad i bought it when I did, this was around £270 then shot up to £330 a couple of days later! This card has been replaced by the 770 so I'm not sure why it's still so expensive, oh well, just one of those rare occasions when the price goes up instead of down after I bought something on amazon.

As for the card I had to take out part of the hard drive bay to fit this (Cooler Master Storm Scout II case), I don't like to brag but it is rather long and quite thick. It takes up three sluts as this bad boy needs three to satisfy its needs. My main use is for adobe premiere, after effects and photoshop. Converting a 30mb video to a different format takes seconds. My setup is an i7 3770k, 16gig of over clockable Samsung ram, a gigabyte z77 MB, a ssd and a traditional hard drive. This is powered by a BeQuite 730W power supply. Not exactly high end but pretty damn fine compared to my old system.

There isn't much in the box it comes in, theres the card, out of date instructions for older cards, a driver and manual disk, a split power lead which is way too short (had to use one supplied by the power unit) and a SLi cable.

Easy to install. I plugged the card straight in, screwing it down was awkward as there wasn't much room due to the hight of card. Plugged in monitor and booted up, windows 7 recognised it straight away and downloaded the latest drivers/software package for it, the cd is out of date anyway.

Not had a chance to play any latest games yet but I'm looking forward to playing skyrim with HD packs and mods over the winter (my Xbox is just collecting dust).
If the price comes down i'll get another one for some dirty SLi action.

Amazing graphics card! I won't bother going in to detail as there are lots of reviews online. This is a great investment, and by far the cheapest price here on Amazon than other online stores. Thank you Amazon!

Bought this ready for Crysis 3 (when it arrives), I've already tested it on Far Cry 3 and that made a huge difference in detail and smoothness compared to my old GTS450 x2 (SLI). The level of detail is breathtaking and an absolute pleasure just to wander around and take in the great scenery.
