With the announcement of EVGA's GeForce GTX 680 Superclocked and GTX 680 SC+ w/Backplate, we take a look at the current available Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 models
Last week (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-680-sli-overclock-surround,3162.html), we saw the release of the GeForce GTX 680 reference cards hit the market (if you were lucky enough to grab one up for before they disappeared). Now, we've put together a roundup (http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Nvidia-GeForce-GTX-680-Kepler-roundup,15138.html#)of the currently available GeForce GTX 680s so you can better find the one that's right for you.
