I purchased an ASUS GTX 680 Direct CUII model # ASUS GTX680-DC2O-2GD5 it has the triple-slot cooler, and is NOT the one with the huge factory overclock. Core Clock = 1019MHz Boost Clock = 1084MHz I have managed to achieve a boost clock of over 1300mhz with it!!! Using MSI's Afterburner , I...

That Raidmax case is the ugliest thing I have ever seen in my life.... The white parts of the exterior looked tacked-on. Who would design such a thing......

shoulda been a gtx 670. should NOT have been a p67 mobo. a z68 or z77 would have been a better choice. ivy-bridge would have been worth it. 4GB for 35$?? could have gotten 8GB for 10$ more... This build sucks. My grandma could have built a better machine for the money. should have been an...

Unfortunately GTX 680 availability is still pretty spotty. Had to spend 2 days on newegg, refreshing the page every few mins to get the model i wanted. However, it IS looking better. They are listing them more often on newegg, and they don't sell-out as quickly as they were a few weeks ago...

Awesome Build!! I have the exact same GTX 680 from ASUS, and I love it. Managed to get 1337Mhz out of the core and 6800 out of the memory. I achieved that with only 115% power limit. If I raise the power limit any higher, i start to loose performance and stability. That is a truly awesome...

The DRM is definately getting under my skin. But, I played Diablo I and II and loved both of them. So, I was highly anticipating Diablo 3. Love playing the game. for now... But, I'm on the fence about the lack of character customization. I would prefer something more complex. Having only one...

Ivy Bridge IS better than Sandy Bridge. Clock-per-clock Ivy Bridge is faster, uses less power, and generates less heat. The die shrink was a success. The ONLY reason people are complaining about Ivy bridge is because it won't overclock as high as Sandy bridge. This is due to the paste. And for...

Here is what I'd build for that money. $60-MOBO = ASRock H61M/U3S3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157236 $38-MEMORY = Team Elite 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313123 $125-CPU = Intel I3-2120...

Wow.... This has to be the most relevant article you have ever put on your website. Surely the vast majority of your readers purchase prebuilt computers that are overpriced and are a pain in the a$$ to upgrade... Homerun Toms....

I have a crucial m4 64GB in my guest gaming rig, and a Corsair Force 3 180GB in my main rig. Both of them have not given me a single problem. I did have an OCZ vertex 3 that died, and I RMA'd it. Then I sold the replacement to someone I don't like, so they can deal with the BS when it starts to...

Anyone notice that the GTX 680 is not included for comparison? Is that because the 7979 is now beating the GTX680? Compare the numbers for Crysis 2 from the origional GTX 680 review and this one. You will notice that the test hardware is the same and has the same OC. Even the slowest 7970 in...

SELLOUTS!!!

Uhh.... were are laser disks and external hard drives? where are the external SSD's? Where is the M-disk? Where is DV-card? you guys are missing a lot of different types of external storage.

I have to say.... These new gfx cards are really a step-up!!! Bith AMD's and Nvidia's new architecture are completely badass!! I'm not a fanboy, so I will take whatever offers the best framerates per dollar, and right now that looks like an HD7870. But Nvidia has only released it's 680, so I'm...

Who in their right mind would purchase a gtx680 and run it on 32-bit windows XP?? Running a gtx680 and NOT having a directx11 capable OS is treason!!! Get Windows 7 already......
