The GeForce GTX 680 2 GB DDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card from ASUS is powered by NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 graphics engine with 2 GB GDDR5 on-board memory. It features a 1201 MHz boost clock that offers better performance and an outstanding gaming experience. The GPU Tweak utility allows you to optimize clock speeds, voltage and fan speeds on up to four graphics cards independently or simultaneously.
The DIGI+ VRM with 10-Phase Super Alloy Power technology delivers precise digital power and enhanced durability for stable overlocking. The technology uses a special alloy formula which is highly-magnetic, heat-resistant and anti-corrosive. The GeForce GTX 680 Graphics Card features ASUS DirectCU II Thermal technology for ultimate cooling. This technology has developed the ideal heat banishing copper in the exclusively designed heat pipes for direct and fast heat dissipation.ASUS Exclusive Innovation
DirectCU II Technology
For ultimate cooling, ASUS DirectCU II thermal technology has developed the ideal heat banishing copper in the exclusively designed heat pipes for direct and fast heat dissipation. The thick copper heatpipes are accurately positioned in direct contact with the GPU surface so heat is transported and dissipated efficiently to the heatsink, achieving a 20% cooler performance than reference. Since heat is carried away faster, fans can spin at a lower speed thus resulting in 14 dB quieter performance than reference. Check out the microsite for more details & downloads
VGA Hotwire
The proprietary VGA hotwire allows you to plug and solder wires on the card's voltage regulators. It also allows you to accurately read and control Vcore, Vmem and PLL voltages from ASS ROG MBs on a hardware level.
GPU Tweak
GPU Tweak has been co-developed with the authoritative GPU-Z to provide the most accurate information. Overclocking is made real-time and intuitive with ASUS GPU Tweak utility. It allows you to optimize clock speeds, voltage and fan speeds on up to four graphics cards independently or simultaneously. You can also select between GPU Tweak's standard or advanced modes depending on your level of experience. For gamers, GPU Tweak enables instantaneous in-game video recording up to 720p resolution so you can share clips with the community easily. Other than these exciting tools, the GeForce GTX 680 Graphics Card also boasts the following features:
Sync GPU clocks and voltages for easier overclocking.*
Automatically check and update driver and BIOS versions.
Get detailed specifications and actual card status with GPU-Z.
2D*/3D switcher can lock the card in 3D for higher benchmarks.
Monitoring widget provides detailed multi-parameter information. Check out the microsite for more details & downloads
Note:
*GPU clock and voltage sync and disabling 2D functions are not applicable on GTX 600 cards.
