GeForce GTX 680 2 GB Review: Kepler Sends Tahiti On Vacation
Enthusiasts want to know about Nvidia's next-generation architecture so badly that they broke into our content management system and took the data to be used for today's launch. Now we can really answer how Kepler fares against AMD's GCN architecture.
Benchmark Results: 3DMark 11 (DX 11)
Although we like to start our benchmark suite with Futuremark’s synthetic metric, we know that it doesn’t always reflect the ebb and flow of real-world games, which are often affected by developer relationships and extra optimizations in one direction or the other.
From that perspective, the GeForce GTX 680 falls right under both dual-GPU cards, which we’re really only including for the purpose of exhibition at this point, since neither is available any more.
AMD’s Radeon HD 7970 gives up its short-lived lead, though based on its advantage over the GeForce GTX 580, we can tell it’s still a very fast piece of hardware.

outlw6669 Nice results, this is how the transition to 28nm should be.Reply
Now we just need prices to start dropping, although significant drops will probably not come until the GK110 is released :/ -
Scotty99 Its a midrange card, anyone who disagrees is plain wrong. Thats not to say its a bad card, what happened here is nvidia is so far ahead of AMD in tech that the mid range card purposed to fill the 560ti in the lineup actually competed with AMD's flagship. If you dont believe me that is fine, you will see in a couple months when the actual flagship comes out, the ones with the 384 bit interface.Reply -
Chainzsaw Wow not too bad. Looks like the 680 is actually cheaper than the 7970 right now, about 50$, and generally beats the 7970, but obviously not at everything.Reply
Good going Nvidia... -
