Added some BF3 info to the bottom of post 2.

Very nice thank you.

Added some Skyrim jazz to the end of Post 2.  
 
Essentially, these cards needs something far more challenging...

very nice thanks for the unboxing pics and the benchmarks thankyou..

how's the noise?
quieter than reference 580?

Hey MW does the adaptive Vsync work well on your new 680`s?

I'd need to redownload it, but since I'm heading out later with the family, I don't mind doing that.

Impressive stuff! Wish i could find one in stock.

I'd say they're about the same.

Have no clue! Haven't tried it... I'd probably need to disable SLI to make it useful.

hey not to thread hijack but if anyone is interested in seeing benches of 480's in SLi vs a single 680 i made a thread. :) if you guys are running 2 480's or lower, its time to upgrade (imo)

That's a good question, I can tell you that it'll make a difference above 1920x1080.  But in BF3, for example, I'm only hitting 1400-1500 MB of VRAM... haven't gotten anywhere above 1536 yet to take advantage of that extra 512 MB.
 
BUT, of course, multi-monitor and higher res... it'll be a bold card for sure!

I need one of you boys to run Witcher 2 at 1080p, but with Uber Sampling mode and tell me what FPS you are getting with these 680's in SLI?  PLEASE!!!  That is my barometer..how can they handle Witcher 2 in Ubersampling mode.

I don't have it, so I won't be able to unfortunately.

Updated again with Metro 2033 info.
 
I'm think of doing some Just Cause 2 as well... I really enjoyed how fun that game was... so ridiculous, so over the top... but very fun.
 
I remember my 480s handling the game fairly well maxed out the 580s had issues if you tried to OC them barely at all causing the game to crash.  So I may give the 680s a spin and see if that's been resolved and just how well they perform as another NVIDIA TWIMTBP game.

Awsome job on this post man, thanks.
 
 

Just Cause 2 Benches added up in Post 2.

Almost 7000 views on this thread!!!! hahahahahaha This is the most active thread in the entire 600 category!! 
 
Thank you for the updates mwparrish!

Thanks for testing Metro! Those results looks smexay.
 
Btw what resolution were you running the game at?

Thanks alot but i have something that i want to comment on, the pictures of BF3 and SKYRIM etc, can you post it with a link or a higher resolution as i cant see anything O.O.

Too bad you do not have Witcher 2.I is the most demanding game out there.Heats up the video cards more then any game and is probably the best game I have ever played.
Love your benches though and keep them coming.

Yeah, Witcher 2 with the Ubersampling setting is the most demanding game I have encountered on my 580 SLI set up.  That is why I was hoping he had the game because that is the one game I use to really test stuff.   But like you said, I also want to thank the OP for all the feedback and testing he has been doing.
 
I am just hoping someone gets some more cards in stock.  I already received the backplates for the cards since I prefer to have them ready before installing the cards.  I am hoping to order the high flow brackets as well since I would want to put them on before installing the GPU's as well.
 
 

You guys could always gift it to him on Steam.

Haha, this is true... if someone felt generous, my steam name is in my "Location" to the left.

I have The Witcher 2, and can get some specs posted on it with a single GTX 680 on Tues/Wed if someone else doesn't do it before then...

Cool man ty for shareing.

Thanks for the pics and benchmarks!
