Hi all i am currently putting together a new rig i like the cooler on this one ive had it before on a 6950 is this card worth getting or is there better out there for the money

a 680 is a bit of a waste of money - a GTX670 overclocks past a stock 680 and is so close to an OC'd 680 that it makes all of no difference in actual games

the smart money is on a 670 - if you like the twin frozr cooler then it is available in that flavour but people are reporting good things about the gigabyte windforce 670 - it's been on OCUK on specials at £320~ which is a good price - I'm not sure I would pay the £350 it's currently on at

I've got EVGA 670's and they also overclock well but get noisy when you really push them - and they've also shot back up in price as they were like £280 at one point

Good card and KFA2 are UK based (helps if you have any problems). I wouldn't say the 680 is a waste of money, just not a wise buy with the 670 performing so close to the 680 for far less poundages.

Thanks both

My 680's are noticeably faster than a 670 but not £100 faster. If money isn't an object then go for the fastest otherwise 670. Great performance for the price.
