These cards have very similar ASUS centric design specs (VRM, PCB and Heatsink), so we figured we’d cover both cards at once. Today, we will be looking at two versions of the aforementioned cards that were manufactured by ASUS and are the DirectCU II TOP edition versions. The memory remains the same, so you you still have 2GB of GDDR5 video memory, running at 6,008MHz over a 256-bit memory interfaces to seal the deal. The base clock speed of the GeForce GTX 670 is 915MHz and the typical Boost clock speed is 980MHz. To be specific this card has just 7 Streaming Multiprocessor (SMX) units, which means it has only 1,344 CUDA parallel processing cores and 112 texture units. The memory subsystem of the GeForce GTX 680 consists of four 64-bit memory controllers (256-bit) with 2GB of GDDR5 memory.įor those looking to save a buck, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 has the same core with some functionality disabled and lower clock speeds on the CUDA cores.

The base clock speed of the GeForce GTX 680 is 1006MHz and the typical Boost clock speed is 1058MHz. The GeForce GTX 680 has four Graphics Processing Clusters (GPCs) with a total of eight Streaming Multiprocessor (SMX) units, which is good for an impressive 1536 CUDA Cores and 128 texture units. Just in case you need a reminder, here is a quick table that shows the differences between the GTX680 and GTX670. If you want to play a game and see it as designers intended, then these should be be the ones you are looking into. These are are ideal for those that game at 1920×1080 or higher with all the image quality settings cranked up. Gamers that have the ability to spend over $350 on a graphics card have a number of cards to pick from as both AMD and NVIDIA have released great high-end videos over the past year If you are a fan of NVIDIA it doesn’t get any better than the GeForce GTX 680 and GeForce GTX 670! Both of these cards share the NVIDIA GK104 ‘Kepler’ GPU and represent the best of what NVIDIA can offer the single GPU desktop market.
