GTX 680 In Stock Thread

Statusegg now longer works for me, something to do with newegg changing the site up. Anyone else using any stock checking apps? Thanks
 
You may want to check on who is actually selling and shipping the cards outside the USA. Other retailers can sell items through Amazon and they may ship items outside the US, while Amazon may not.

Already checked and there are other sellers, but at ridiculous prices that it ends up only being a few dollars cheaper than here.

I can have Amazon ship a card for free for $525 to shipito, who then charges me about $60 for postage, ends up being around $590 all in, whereas the cheapest price for the card here is $690 all in. Just have to decide if its worth it with warranty and everything.
 
What is with this GPU anyway?

Launched on 22 March......now a full three months into the cycle, and on newegg right this minute......

ZERO baseline models.
ZERO cards from : Galaxy,Gigabyte,Zotac,ASUS or PNY.

one MSI frozr
two overclocked EVGA cards.

WTF?:eek::eek:
 
Damn...Classified is only $30 more than the FTW+ 4GB. Argh. Just bought 4 of those. Ha. Oh well.
 
Well, I just requested an RMA for my Asus GTX 670 and placed an order for an EVGA GTX 680 Signature 2 (the one that has their 2 fan cooler on it.) The Amazon page for it said "In stock, but may require an additional 1-2 days to process and ship" and then immediately after I placed my order, it's OOS. Now I'm wondering if I'll even get it. (yes, I know EVGA's store had it in stock, but Amazon Prime ftw!)
 
Woot, I literally got the last one in stock at Amazon. Should be here tomorrow :D Also just installed my M4 tonight... gonna be quite the upgrade!!
 
EVGA GTX 680 Signature 2 in stock at newegg.

Finally ordered it!

Usually that means they're out of stock and it's the "lowest" third party price being listed.


So what do you all think about moving from a 480 to a 680?

I approve.

I saw a major increase in frames going from a 480/460 (I preferred the 460, the 480 was not worth it to me) to just a 580 last year.

I haven't received my 680 just yet (in transit!) but from the reviews [H]ere and the benchmarks I have seen, it looks to be worth every penny. My 580 handled all games fine, but stuttered in BF3 a little bit with everything high on my 28" - I can't imagine how the 680 will perform. If you have the cash, go for it.

worth it. i see people moving from hd6950's and gtx570's to gtx680's and they couldn't be happier.. and knowing how the gtx480 powerhogs, it's probably worth it

Other thing I'm looking at is some of my other hardware. I'm debating whether I really want to even throw any more money at my present system. I'm running an Intel qx9650 OC'd to around 3.6Ghz and 8 gigs of DDR1066 for frame of reference.

Honestly, it depends on what you want to do with it.

Since you have a GTX 480, I assume you game with this setup - at which point, yes I would suggest you upgrade for that sake.

Get sandy bridge, a cheap mobo and some 1600mhz ddr3 and you will be absolutely golden.

Yup, I game. :)

Under consideration.

Yeah, that system is definitely due in for a nice upgrade. While most people would recommend the 2500k - and I don't blame them for it, you can get yourself an i3-2100 and a nice, cheap mobo for about $180 tops. Add in $40 worth of that RAM and you are going to see ridiculous improvements.
 
My guess is about 2x the performance of that card, plus a bit more VRAM.

huh... where you smoke that 2x performance from?

480 is the same as 570, and its only slightly slower than 580.

the performance boost from 580 to 680 is 30-40% at best.

I would probably say its nearly 50-60% at most.

I don't know what the performance difference is exactly between a 470 and a 480, but I went from a 470 to 680 and, just as one example, I saw an increase from 36fps to 89fps in the Shogun 2 DX 11 High benchmark. Of course it will very from game to game and such, but the performance difference is ENORMOUS any way you slice it.
 
well yeah... my GTX470 gets crippled rather fast on my 30" monitor... that 1.2mb just doesn't cut it =(
 
I see the reference Asus is gone from their (NE) stocking list. Was thinking about grabbing a second one for some sexy SLI action.
 
Damn, soon as I see this I check and they're out again, I'm starting to think I'll never get this bad boy.

Then just order the OC model instead of waiting. Same card, only difference is factory clocks and if we've learned anything from the other TOP models ASUS has released recently it's that ASUS isn't doing anything that special with cherry picking the GPU's used for the TOP which means you may get a TOP that can't even run factory clocks under load while the OC model may easily out clock it. It's all luck of the draw.
