Our indepth review of the KFA2 GeForce GTX 680 LTD OC 2048MB yesterday concluded that the card is one of the fastest discrete solutions available today. The 1,268mhz boost version we tested will be available in limited quantities soon from Overclockers for £559.99 inc vat. They won't be selling many of them, so you may struggle to locate one, never mind two.
If you happen to have £1,120 burning a hole in your pocket and you are in the market to create a ‘no compromises' system then this is a good first choice. It may seem like a lot of cash, but next to the latest £995.95 GTX 690 cards they are a great ‘cost effective' alternative. Yeah, I can't believe I said that either.
Sadly, there are only a handful of new games that really demand this level of flagship hardware … we are in fact facing a market this year which is almost devoid of ground breaking PC titles. I am sick installing a new title only to find out it is another sloppy, half assed console port.
Thankfully, Max Payne 3 is one of the few games released this year that really does give reward when paired up with a cutting edge graphics card, such as the Nvidia GTX680. Fortunately it is also a fantastic game to play and we don't often get that killer combination. If you are one of the lucky people to get hold of a new GTX680, then I can certainly recommend Max Payne 3 as a first purchase.
If you aren't able to get hold of the KFA2 Geforce GTX 680 LTD OC 1,268mhz boost version, then Overclockers are also selling a slightly slower clocked version for £455.99 inc vat. We aren't sure if it will overclock to these speeds, but it might be possible. Another great option is the Asus GTX 680 Direct CU II Top which we modified in this article with the amazing ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme III cooler.
If you are short of cash right now, then you will be happy to hear that you could win the KFA2 GeForce GTX 680 LTD OC 2048MB over here, thanks to our good friends at Overclockers.
good video cards, system you used is out of reach of almost everyone. id like the 3960X myself.
Oh damn! The more I read all these reviews on the 680 the more I want one.
Now this is a real wish that needs granting!
I have that same card and was considering installing that same cooler on it. I didn’t want to have to remove the backplate and the support bracket to install it though. So did you guys remove them becuase you had to, or was there some other reason? Thanks
this impressive beast is alot cheper in china……..asus top,gigabyte soc,msi lightning etc is are 5k++ but this card is 4k++ in china.
