jipris19 · 24 Nov 2012 at 15:36

Hello to everyone i am very confuse and i cant decide which version of the Evga cards to choose . i want the best one in terms of performance and cooling . im not an advanced O.C and if i do O.C i will do through software. any recommendations? im looking only Evga cards and only for the gtx 680 ones.

Great twin cooler on these and good price for a 680

^^ +1

That's a nice looking card. Probably would be the one I'd go for.

jipris19 · 24 Nov 2012 at 15:42

yes i was thinking for that also it has the best stock O.C but the twin cooler is it good?

It runs 3C cooler than the Signature and the cooler is very quiet going by other reviews.

Out of curiosity why only a Evga 680 ?

You can't use the step up programme with that one, (if that's an issue for you).

so i cant use the step up programme? no is not issue for me, i can also purchase an extended warranty if i want . but the others GTX 680 are more expensive than the EVga ones. so is my best option i think

Why isn't that one able to use the step up programme?

They need to be reference models I believe.

{SAS}TB · 25 Nov 2012 at 13:08

Ah, I thought any could be stepped up, it's only (usually) reference models you can step up to

The list in that link is hardware you can step up to

That was my understanding when unused the programme

Only certain cards can be stepped up.

EVGA GeForce GTX 680+ 4GB w/Backplate - (04G-P4-2686-KR)
EVGA GeForce GTX 680 FTW LE - (02G-P4-3684-KR)
EVGA GeForce GTX 680 - (02G-P4-2680-KR)

These are the only 680's that can be stepped up.

As above mate (and as the link says) thats the list you can step up to, not from.

The requirements for an eligable card to step up from are around it carrying a warranty
