    Default Best 680 out there?

    I've decided to do a mini upgrade to my rig and get a 680 until the next gen comes out. I assume the 680 is best for boxers, so what is the best 680 out there for a boxer? Money is not a concern. It's actually hard to find a good consensus on it.

    Probably one with a nice warranty and 4GB of video RAM.

    You wouldnt happen to know which of these is the fastest? Some have slightly different clock rates. Do I just assume since its the same gpu that a faster clock is a better card? Thanks for the help so far though!

    If you're planning on overclocking, avoid a video card that is superclocked already.
    If you're not going to overclock the video card, then whatever the given speed is... I assume higher is better.

    I went with an eVGA 670, 4GB Superclocked.
    From a bang for the buck point of view, this is one of the better cards out there.
    A 680 would be superior, but a 670 is still a great card especially if its an interim card until the next thing comes out.

    Do you actually have a water-cooled system?

    Welp I was just looking at clock rates, didn't even bother to check the other specifications. No I don't have a water cooled system and if I did, I probably wouldn't be able to figure out how to add that card

    I just went with the evga classified 4gb 680. Santa Claus (UPS) shows up on Wednesday.

    The 286 model is the better compatible model with water blocks. I use two of them with ekweb blocks.
