I upgraded to the GTX 680 4Gb card today. Hopefully I got the right one.

It costs $400 less than the 690 so normally I would have gotten that but I know you all said for boxing the 680 is better.

The windows performance index (only thing I have to check) went from 7.6 to 7.8 and it seems faster but cant tell for sure.

Only 5 boxing at the moment, getting ready to 10 box, thats what I needed it for. The GTX 465 1Gb I was using had no problems at all 5-boxing, but I've been using it forever and couldn't hold off the upgrade. Started with dual SLI 465's, then single card, then gave up and upgraded.

Waiting for nVidia to release their next badass card. Not going to bother with the 690 or 680.

edit: 1st review on Amazon:


Bottomline, this is a very good card. Cost is a bit high, and better deals can be found. The one caveat is that EVGA does provide outstanding customer service. Whether or not this is worth the extra premium you will pay for EVGA products is up to you. If I had to do it again, I would have bought three EVGA Classified GTX680s since they only cost $30-40 more for each card. Oh well :(

Aww you missed out on a few Mhertz base and boost clock. /cries
