Conclusion
This is an exceptional graphics card, boasting ultra-high performances, excellent build quality, a top-end finish and ... an eye-watering price tag! It's clearly not the kind of graphics card that's within everyone's reach, but for a handful of lucky users it'll be a real boon for multi-display or 3D gaming.
All in all, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 is an excellent graphics card. Gaming performances are fast, power use is low for this kind of performance level, and the card is particularly quiet. Based on these standard review criteria, it's a five-star model. However, it's a bit of a shame that the GPU Boost function gives rise to differences in performance between product batches.
