Which 680 GTX?

[Drkalinium]

I've decided to get a 680 GTX but there seems to be fair bit of variation in the specs which one would you guys recommend?

People here will say don't get a 680, but get a 7950 because it's cheaper. I went with a 680 and have been very happy

What res are you running, what's your budget etc?

 

[Drkalinium]

budget is £430 and I'm on 1080p but planning on getting a bigger monitor soon

Go for the MSI Lightning. Fantastic cards and are capable of voltage increases with a hack.

Well you should be ok with the 2gb versions and I suppose then its if you want to overclock or run straight out the box without tweaking ?

would prefer not to have to OC it myself or mess with voltages

what gregster said a little bit over your budget but worth it

Ok, as you don't want to mess with volts or overclocking, I recommend the MSI Lightning. It has a base clock of 1202Mhz out of the box and is very quiet.

If its the gtx 680 your after then any 680 will be good. My evga gtx 680 is amazing on default clock speed.

When you say planning a bigger monitor, how much bigger?

A 7950 would be my choice, maybe even two in crossfire as its only around £60 more than a single 680 lightning.
