Cool, quiet, energy efficient and powerful.

So I'm upgrading from my old stock EVGA GTX 260 and I have to say the difference between the two is staggering. The Gigabyte GTX 680 is quieter, cooler, more energy efficient and powerful compared to my old GTX 260.

There were many other brands to choose from, but I went with Gigabyte for three reasons. Smaller size as compared to the large ASUS DCII OC 680, the memory chips have heat sinks attach to them that allows direct cooling and their Ultra Durability technology.

I initially bought the ASUS DCII OC 680 card, but later return it because I was having issues with the size of the card as it was interfering with adjacent cards. The ASUS DCII OC 680 did run cooler due to their larger fins to dissapate heat better (8 degrees cooler). The noise level for both Gigabyte and ASUS 680 seems about the same to me, I can't hear them all when playing games. Gigabyte's WindoForce 3x cooling Technology sounds like a good idea, but I don't see it being very effective versus ASUS humongous heatsinks fins. If maybe Gigabyte include larger heatsink fins along with their WindoForce tech then maybe it'll be even better at cooling. My idle tempterature is at 28C while when stress testing with Uningine Heaven it was 69C.

The real main reason why I choose Gigabytes card over most of the others is that they have actually heatsinks attach to the memory chips to allow for direct cooling compared to the ASUS DCII OC where it only relies on the active fans above the heatsink to cool the memory chips.

Lastly, I want my card to last a long time and be tough because I am overclocking it pretty hard plus I don't really plan on buying another card for good long time. Gigabyte's Ultra Durable technology is what exactly what I am looking for so I went with it.

The only game I have in my possession that is graphically intensive is Splinter Cell: Conviction. I set all the graphic settings to high and the game ran smoothly with my new Gigabyte GTX 680 at 112FPS. Temperature was at 58C for the most part when I was playing the game for an hour.

******Misc Information******
While the ASUS DCII OC card that I once had did run cooler than the Gigabyte one, it wasn't very overclock-able. With the ASUS card I was able to overclock it to 1224mhz for the core and 3200mhz for the memory. The Gigabyte card, I could overclock it to 1280mhz for the core and 3524mhz for the memory.

Gigabyte's WindForce 3x by design blows hot air into the case, FYI so make sure you get a case with good air flow.

********Update 06/22/2012********
I decided take apart my new card and apply some aftermarket thermal paste on it to see if it will lower the temperatures even further. Upon removing the heatsink off the card, I found that Gigabyte did a ok job on the application on the paste however, IMO, they still added too much. I used some electronic safe alchohol to clean off the OEM paste stuck on the heatsink and GPU until it was mirror clean. I bought the Arctic MX4 thermal paste and applied it ever so carefully and evenly. I then ran Unigine Heaven Benchmark for 1 hour and this is what I got.

***OEM Paste***
Idle Temp: 28C
Full Load (Unigine Heaven Benchmark, Max Settings): 69C

***Aftermarket Paste (Artic MX4)***
Idle Temp: 28C
Full Load (Unigine Heaven Benchmark, Max Settings): 66C

I regret buying this card!

I purchased this card on June 2012. I was waiting for Asus Maximus V Formula board, therefore I did not have the chance to install the card on my system yet. However, my problems started right after day 1.

1) When the card is at operating temperature (not cold boot), there is NO WAY that I can play games with it. Yes the card is fast, GTX 680 kicks ass, but Gigabyte?? No, will never buy a Gigabyte graphics card. As soon as 2 minutes, the screen fills with artifacts and display driver crashes. Most of the time it also freezes the system so I have to do a hard reset.

2) Unfortunately while waiting for the motherboard, the return period for the graphics card ended. So I sent the card for RMA to Gigabyte. They sent me the card back in 1.5 weeks. I was excited again to play my favorite titles again with good graphics (I was down to Intel HD4000 while my card was at RMA). The representative on the phone told me that they replaced some memory chips which were causing the problems. BUT, the same symptoms appeared right away after 1 hour of gaming! The card was brand new and 1-they repaired it instead of replacing it, 2-the repair did not work and I am back where I started. Oh and you also have to pay for the shipping when sending it to RMA.

3) I payed a premium of 529$ for a graphics card and I can not use it! I just trashed my 500 dollars! I don't know how Gigabyte RMA service works, but they sure do not care about customer satisfaction.

I WILL NEVER BUY A GIGABYTE GRAPHICS CARD AGAIN AND WILL NEVER RECOMMEND IT TO ANYBODY.

PS: One of my friends have a problem with a Gigabyte GTX560 and he has sent it to RMA for 3 times. Each time the card comes back, there is ANOTHER problem :) How disappointing.

Functionally great, packaging suspect

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2013

I've had this card hooked up for about 2 weeks now, and it has played and ran well since I got it. The packaging it came in was quite suspect though. I presumed that the product I was purchasing was brand new, but when I cracked open the shipping box the product box wasn't factory sealed and the sleeve the card came in was sealed with regular scotch tape.

I gave it 4 stars because the 680 OC runs games great, stays around 30 degrees C when idling and under 60 C under load. So the card performs great (so far), I just get the feeling it was a refurbished card or something which wasn't disclaimed in the product description.

Buyer beware.

Fingers crossed...

Worked like a charm... for 2 months.

I purchased this as I used to read how Gigabyte products were high quality. In fact, it seemed to be during the short time I had with it. Low temps, quiet and fast.
Then one day, while playing Diablo 3, I got Windows TDR. After reading forums, trying a lot of solutions, like changing the PCI slot, looking for dust (it was clean) I reinstalled drivers and it seemed to be OK, somehow. Two weeks later, I get TDRs again, but this time way more frequent. Tried again to change slots, reinstalling drivers and even Windows 7 and 8 Pro from scratch on another HDD. Nothing works. I switch back to my old VGA (MSI GTX 465) and it works no problem.

So I have to try and RMA this to Gigabyte, but in the first contact, all I get back is a "robot-like" mail, asking me to try the same things I said in my e-mail to them I already tried. They didn't even paid attention to my e-mail, it seems. So I write back, and a day has passed and I'm still waiting for their reply on how to proceed for the 3 years warranty. With one e-mail per day, I hope I get a replacement before it expires in 2015. sigh.

Update: Just to praise Amazon for their support. They covered everything and I got my money back quickly (but I'll avoid Gigabyte products from now on).
