excellent hello ladies and gentlemen I'm welcome back to Pauls Harbor today I'm going to be doing a little video on this video card right here this is the galaxy gtx 680 GC which is their term for the overclocked edition and i'm just going to be giving you guys a closer look at the car itself because it does have a customized white PCB as well as a pretty cool aftermarket cooler and then i'm going to be sharing some benchmarks because i did get a chance to test this in one single card configuration as well as 2-way sli so here's a closer look at the card as you can see beautiful custom white PCB you don't see white PCBs on many computer parts in general these days as you can see it's a very nice clear white color it's got a customized triple fan cooler on it as you can also see with a massive heat piped aluminum fin array keeping everything running nice and cool I can confirm that this works very effectively as it kept the card well within temperature ranges during my benchmarking sessions even while it was in two-way SLI but here's some detailed specs on the card the GPU inside is an nvidia geforce gtx 680 that's the gk104 codename GPU based on their 28 nanometer technology codename kepler it's got a pci express 3.0 interface it also has 1536 cuda cores it's directx 11.1 compatible also includes two gigabytes or 2048 megabytes of gddr5 ram on a 256-bit bus giving you a total memory bandwidth of 192 point three gigabytes per second now this is an overclocked card the basic GPU clock is at eleven eleven megahertz 1111 it has a boost clock that will generally speaking get it up to 1176 megahertz assuming of course with the cards is operating within temperature parameters set by nvidia however i can confirm that this particular card here was running along at eleven 88.9 megahertz or just about 1189 megahertz during just about all of my tests also the memories collect at 1502 megahertz or 6,000 for megahertz effective as far as temperature goes we never got up higher than the low to mid 70s and most of the time is running in the mid to upper 60s that's in celsius by the way 60 to 70 degrees Celsius here's also look at the video that's on the card and here's one point where I was slightly disappointed with the design decision that's galaxy went with as you can see we have three mini HDMI outs which is just fine but the adapters that they've included is a mini HDMI to standard HDMI just one of those and then a standard hdmi to DVI so if you have a DVI monitor or if you have a couple DVI monitors I should say you will be needed to buy an additional adapter for this card you also get a full-size DisplayPort and I generally prefer to splay port to hdmi where it is available so nice to have that one on there as well but then finally for power requirements we have two 8-pin pci express power connectors that's as compared to the reference gtx 680 which uses two 6-pin PCI Express power connectors and that is again because this card is factory overclocked and also has that custom design with the custom power delivery maiden by galaxy next up we're going to take a look at some benchmarks and as previously mentioned I got a chance to benchmark discarding one card configuration as well as two-way SLI so i'll be showing you guys both of those hope you enjoy here the benchmarks that's going to wrap it up for this video guys once again this has been the galaxy gtx 680 GC custom white edition thanks a lot for watching subscribe if you'd like to see more videos and we'll see you next
