When I first installed it there was a buzz of fan on radiator. My heat sink was initially too close to the fans. You can hear them spin up sometimes then settle in at a lower speed.Ĭons: I subtracted zero eggs for this but it's something you'll definitely want to look for. It's fast GPU-Z says that it has every bit of the advertised clock speed, and the temps are held in check while the fans are nearly silent. The cooler looks tight and it is nice that the fans are obscured. If Black is your theme inside your case this card works. The black power supply with black cables also looks nice. I have a black ROG motherboard, and a black NZXT case. The card looks sleek black with more black.

I saw previous details within mech warrior that even at full detail didn't show, like trees swaying and a bit of crisper color.
#NVIDIA GTX 680 BEST BUY UPGRADE#
I immediately noticed the upgrade over my 7870. I would not be surprised if other companies start using this design. If you are on the fence about what 680 card to buy, get this one.

This is my first time buying a Sparkle product, and I am very happy with my purchase. Overall Review: This design works better than any other design I have used at keeping temperatures and noise down. "Calibre Captain." Who came up with that name. I wish it came with 4GB memory, but as of right now this is not an issue.Ģ. It seems to have a drastic impact on performance and noise.Ĭons: 1. It makes me wonder why not a lot of companies do this. The design of this card (having the fans below the heat sink fins) is amazing. I decided to list this last, but it is why this card works so well. The price is very low for the quality of card you get. 1204MHz is the best factory overclock you can buy on Newegg at the moment.Ħ. The Newegg description list only the base clock of 1124MHz. Newegg states that it has a three year warranty but this is incorrect, it has a lifetime warranty.ĥ. The back plate does a great job of adding that extra support.Ĥ. All this was with the fan set at 40% max.ģ. Idle it sits around 29☌, gaming it peaks at 69☌, and during stress test it got up to 73☌. I have never used a card that was this quiet, and I have built a lot of gaming computers.Ģ. Even when stress testing it I couldn't hear it. In addition, you can enjoy 3D movies and 3D digital photographs in eye popping, crystal-clear quality. Get up to 2x monitor and keyboard brightness with NVIDIA 3D LightBoost technology.

A combination of high-tech wireless glasses and advanced software, 3D Vision transforms hundreds of PC games into full stereoscopic 3D.

TXAA is a new antialiasing mode that combines MSAA, temporal filtering, and post processing for the highest edge quality and minimal shimmering during gameplay. Existing techniques like MSAA are effective at removing jagged lines in still images but struggle with crawling and shimmering artifacts when the player is in motion. TXAA AntiAliasingAntialiasing helps to smooth out jagged lines in games.

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. NVIDIA Surround with Up To Four MonitorsImagine the thrill of playing your favorite games across three monitors.It gets rid of distractions so you can get on with gaming. At high framerates, V-sync is enabled to eliminate tearing, at low frame rates, it's disabled to minimize stuttering. Adaptive V-Sync is a smarter way to render frames. The first tends to occur when framerates are low, the second when framerates are high. NVIDIA Adaptive Vertical SyncNothing is more distracting than framerate stuttering and screen tearing.The result is that the GPU always performs at its peak and you get the highest framerate possible. GPU Boost intelligently monitors graphics work load and increases the clock speed whenever possible. NVIDIA GPU BoostUp until now, GPUs have operated at a fixed clock speed when playing 3D games, even if they have the potential to run faster.The result is world class performance and the highest image quality in an elegant and power efficient graphics card. The new SMX streaming multiprocessor is twice as efficient as the prior generation and the new geometry engine draws triangles twice as fast. Kepler GPU ArchitectureNVIDIA'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.
