This was an enlightening read thank you. I don't feel that bad for not waiting to purchase. The triple monitor results with 4xaa was interesting virtually no change.

I don't think we'll see that much of a bump fps wise..maybe 3-4..it's more likely that the extra Vram will just allow you to increase your eye candy. The reference 680 is a really nice card and is capable of running games at that resolution as it is..

Yeah, unless something was wrong with this small review testing the GTX580 1.5GB versus 3GB, it looks like overall performance is negligible with extra Vram. Same would be the case from GTX680 2GB versus 4GB. The buffer is just a temporary space, and only the GPU renders the scene. Having extra Vram means little unless it is being used, so those games tested aren't cranked up high enough.

FTW editions also have a pretty nice factory oc as well.

What's the difference between the regular, Signature and Signature+ aaaand Signature+ 2? lol..

Regular is regular unless you mean SC which is a bit higher clocked from the factory.

Signature has a different design, has a 8-pin+6-pin instead of 6-6 and also has a 5 phase PWN.

Signature+ is just a signature model with a backplate included.

Signature 2+ is basically a signature+ with a different dual-fan cooler.

Thank you, this really helps clear things up for me.

I suppose I shall wait for the Signature edition. Sig2 sounds like something that won't be out for a while.

It's not just extra VRAM from what EVGA says

- Back plate
- 8 Phase PWM
- 8 + 6 power connectors

I hope it's under $600...but I have a feeling it won't be....SC with backplate is already at $530...then theres SC Signature and Signature+ and Signature 2...and we all know that will be above $530 in terms of pricing, since it has more features.

No more than $600. It's just extra VRAM, lol.

Any Idea on price point? I'm gaming on 5760x1080 how much of a performance bump can we expect to see on the 4gb version. I've seen some test video posted on triple monitor and the 2gb version is performing like a champ.

I'm guessing that the FTW 4GB 680s will retail for around $550, there's no question that the extra Vram will help at your resolution, I don't think we'll see that much of a bump fps wise..maybe 3-4..it's more likely that the extra Vram will just allow you to increase your eye candy. The reference 680 is a really nice card and is capable of running games at that resolution as it is..but if you are a sucker for high levels of AA and such..then the 4GB version will be your best friend.
