    4GB on GK104 (GTX 670/GTX 680) Is Useless

    You wont notice a difference bewteen 2 gigs V-RAM and 4 gigs V-RAM until you actually use more than 2 gigs of VRAM in an application. If you have a card with 2 gigs, and your game uses 2.5 gigs of VRAM, then besically the game will be unplayable. The reason why a 4 gig card runs...

    PSU Recommendation

    Go for a Seasonic, or an Antec rebrand of a seasonic (like the Antec Truepower new). You can get a Antec True Power new 750 for around $100. It is a Seasonic, and as good as it gets (just not as effecient as it gets, Bronze rating) . I have also had very good experience with FSP. But I would...

    Were early reference GTX 680's made by Nvidia?

    I think all of the boards were made by the likes of Foxconn. I don't know for sure.but it would make sense to me. I'm pretty sure EVGA gets foxconn to make its cards too

    Asus GTX 680 DirectCU II

    But what about my original question? The components "Does anyone know exactly what kind of components are used in the VRM. It looks like the MOS is old school (three part, but im no expert). Are the chokes good, are those the good black caps on this board too? There was just a...
