Cons:Blue PCB if you care

Pros:Eye candyFramerate rarely dropsLow power consumption
Comment:
Wow. Any game out there can be played smoothly on maximum settings. This card stays cool and quiet. Can't say much more except that if you are buying a new gaming system on a budget, spend less on the processor and storage and usual expenditures, and drop  some money on this card.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 680 OC 1071MHZ 2GB 6.0GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Video Card
Cons:- Not as good looking (for my taste) as other nvidia 680

Pros:- Very silent card- Very Powerful- Very cool
Comment:
This is the best card price/performance ratio you'll find. Very happy with the purchased. The design may not look as good but it is black all around exept pcb(blue) so it does look good in the case.Works very well in video and photo editing and nothing I played in full hd could bring it down.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 680 OC 1071MHZ 2GB 6.0GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Video Card
Cons:- Blue PCB if you are look-oriented.- Price.

Pros:- Nearly silent.- Factory overclock.- Very cool idle/load temps.- Windforce cooler.
Comment:
I originally had a reference EVGA model in order for $499, but after months of waiting and no signs of it ever showing up, I caved in and spent $50 more to get this model as soon as it went in stock.The card itself is massive just like the reference GTX 680, but the Windforce cooler adds some more heft. It also requires 8+6pin PCIe instead of reference 6+6pin so make sure to have those connectors.The card itself performs exceptionally well in both idle and under load. At idle, with an Antec P280 and stock Antec case fans, it idles at 32C, just 6-8C above ambient temperature. Under load in FoldinggHome, it never peaks above 64C.The fans are super quiet and only revs up to approx. 55% under load. The Scythe Gentle Typhoons on my H80 are noisier than the card.I am able to achieve a constant, stead FPS in my games with details set up to highest.Simply put, if you need a GTX 680, this is the one to get. Superb cooling, acoustics and performance for just $50 over reference.
