Which GTX 680 to go for?

[tapandesai]

I want to upgrade my graphic card and I want to purchase GTX 680 (ASUS). But now I am in a very confusing situation. When I went to Asus's Website I found 6 different models of GTX 680. I want to know which one is the best of them and why. Please help me clear the doubts.

GTX 680 No. 1

GTX 680 No. 2

No 3

No 4

No 5

No 6

PLEASE SUGGEST IF YOU THINK ANY OTHER CARD IS BETTER THAN THIS (FOR INSTANCE MY FRIEND TOLD ME TO GO FOR GTX 670)

None of them!!!

Get this:

The GTX 770 is a superclocked 680 that is faster than any 680, overclocked or not. And it is cheaper. And it has better cooling and overclocking software etc.

We have always suggested a GTX670 above a GTX680 since its MUCH more in price but barely an improvement.
Since the GTX770 is BETTER than a GTX680 and just general a better buy, get the GTX770.

Here is a comparison.

Thank you "babernet_1" and "Novuake". I check about GTX 770 on Asus's website, it also has two different models.

Model 1 - http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/GTX770DC22GD5/

Model 2 - http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/GTX770DC2OC2GD5/

Please tell me what's the difference between them?

One has a slightly higher clock rate. If the price difference is not more than a view bucks, get the second one.

GTX770DC22GD5 - GPU Base Clock : 1045 MHz
GTX770DC2OC2GD5 - GPU Base Clock : 1058 MHz

Its not really worth it getting the OC version, too small a difference.
