Seven Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 round-up: Super cards! @ HardwareInfo

One of the cornerstones of any enthusiast system build is a rocking video card.  It's not because you need one or have to have ultimate control but rather to complement the system and offer the option for bragging rights.

To find an ultimate video card you just need to look, they can be found near the top of the product offerings and are not often priced to move.

In the HardwareInfo review they look at seven "super cards" designed for the enthusiast and sometimes extremely rare.  They all look to be of the GTX 680 variety so AMD fans beware.

There was nothing wrong with Nvidia's reference cooler, but this round-up proves there are some nice alternatives as well. MSI has a good card with the N680GTX Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC, it's slightly overclocked, cools better, and it is also the most silent out of all cards we tested. MSI's Lightning card is the fastest card with also the best overclocking potential, but it's loud. If you're not planning on extreme overclocking, then our vote goes to the ASUS GTX680-DC2T-2GD5.

I have had good luck with the Lightning edition cards but have recently started paying more attention to EVGA as their classified line has proven to be quite good.
