Gigabyte GeForce GTX 680 SOC Sneak Preview
The GeForce GTX 680 SOC (Super OverClock) from Gigabyte has arrived here on the Guru3D testing-grounds. This week a 7970 SOC model already launched, but that SKU only has a volume size of 100 available units. Almost a waste of time to review. The GTX 680 SOC edition however will become in larger quantities, albeit limited as this really is an exclusive high-ed product catered towards a very small segment of enthusiast users only.
As stated our sample has arrived and we certainly wanted to show you a couple of photo's in an un-boxing style prior to our in-depth review next week. This SKU tagged under product code Gigabyte GV-N680S-2GD and is Gigabyte's most high end GTX 680 offering. The product has a whopping three slot design and comes packed with five fans blowing air through a huge aluminum fin area that is covered with a metal cover to optimize the overall airflow.
The Anti-turbulence cooler features nine 6mm copper heatpipes leading to a massive vapor chamber cooler. Gigabyte claims that is can dissipate 500 Watts of heat, which again is massive. The PCB itself is custom of course, Gigabyte uses a 2 ounce copper PCB with solid caps, ferrite core chokes and a digital 8-phase power design.
The base frequency of this product is the highest we have seen to date, 1132 MHz. That means that the boost clock is moving towards the 1200 MHz range. The memory is clocked at 6200 MHz, 2 GB of graphics memory by the way not a 4GB partition.
Anyway have a peek at some photo's (click thumbnails) and next week we'll have the review ready and served to you.
