EVGA GTX 680 *** 4GB

Back on topic...

Very, very interesting article here. It appears that memory bandwidth itself is the limiting factor at very high resolutions/multi monitor setups, where the gap between the GTX 680 and the 7970 all but diminishes, particularly in highly overclocked scenarios.

I'm still waiting to see what the benches are on the 4GB cards, but if bus bandwidth is the limiting factor, it seems tacking an extra 2GB of VRAM onto it is kind of insignificant if there's a bottleneck using it, right?
 
EVGA do not offer 10 year warranties anymore. Resale value has never been bad for me on non EVGA cards.

Most manufacturers still offer support for cards that have been custom cooled, this has never been unique to EVGA only.

3 year warranties are standard from most manufacturers too, in fact very very few companies offer a noticably worse warranty service than EVGA.

Regarding 4 Gb vram, I suppose its only a matter of time before the majority of people on this forum start banging on about 4 Gb gram being the minimum required for smooth gameplay at 1080p resolution, because they have graphs that show a Vram usage over 3 Gb.
