Today we are going to talk about one pretty interesting graphics card, which can accommodate up to three inexpensive monitors with DVI outs simultaneously. How cool is that? Let’s find out!
What started out as a common graphics card review turned into a fierce battle between three graphics accelerators from different segments market and different price ranges.
Thanks to a flood of new arrivals, over the next couple of weeks we’ll be taking a look at a range of GTX 670 and GTX 680 cards from Asus, EVGA, MSI, and Zotac. And to kick things off our first card will be what's perhaps the most unique card among them: EVGA's GeForce GTX 680 Classified, our first fully-custom GTX 680.
In EVGA’s product hierarchy the Classified is their top of the line product, where they typically go all-out to make a customized products to scratch the itch of overclockers and premium buyers alike. The GTX 680 Classified in turn is EVGA’s take on an ultra-premium GTX 680, creating a card that is monstrous in virtually every sense of the word. What has EVGA seen fit to do with their fully-custom GTX 680, and does it live up to the hype and the price tag that comes with the Classified name? Let’s find out.
Today we are going to talk about one of the fastest GeForce GTX 680 graphics cards out there featuring a unique cooling system.
Today we are going to discuss the performance of Nvidia’s multi-GPU configurations built with two and three overclocked GeForce GTX 670 graphics cards. Besides, we will also compare the performance of Nvidia GeForce HGTX 680 against AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition (emulated by overclocking) running the latest existing drivers.
Good, better, the best – this could be the best way to describe the main heroes of our today’s review. Each of these proprietary graphics cards boasts not only its own peculiar design, but also a number of exclusive features that make it truly unique.
Ivy Bridge processors didn’t really impress us that much, because they didn’t turn out that much more advanced than their predecessors. However, we haven’t yet had a chance to really dig into the performance and features of their graphics cores. Let’s make up for this omission and test their graphics. What if obtained results completely change our opinion about them ?
The GeForce GTX 680 launch marked both the closest and the farthest AMD has ever been from outright beating NVIDIA in modern times. On the one hand NVIDIA beat them by more than usual by achieving the holy trifecta as opposed to focusing just on performance. And yet on the other hand when it comes to raw performance AMD has never been this close. Where the GTX 580 beat the 6970 by 15% the GTX 680 led by just 10%, and even then it lost to the 7970 on some games. With such a close gap an obvious question arises: maybe, just maybe AMD could meet or beat NVIDIA with a higher clocked 7970 and rival them for the performance crown?
Today AMD is putting that idea to the test with the launch of the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition. Although AMD is not calling the 7970 GHz Edition a response to the GTX 680 – instead choosing to focus on it being Tahiti’s 6 month birthday – for all intents and purposes this is AMD’s response to the GTX 680. A higher clocked 7970 with AMD’s take on GPU turbo intended to make a run at the GTX 680 and that performance crown. So how does AMD fare? As we’ll see, after today it will no longer be clear who holds the performance crown.
Today we are going to witness a remarkable duel of the two fastest and most unique single-GPU graphics accelerators we have in our lab. Why not check out which one wins ?

Our today’s review will answer this and many other questions about this new product you might have.</span></span></p>
