Awesome! That's a major improvement the three slot hogs that you guys were selling not that long ago. 🙂
I am disturbed because I cannot break my system...found out there were others trying to cope! We have a support group on here, if your system will not break, please join!

No, it'll be the same; it's still a 680 DCII underneath. Since the overclocking overhead is locked on all 680s the only benefit is very high resolution, multi monitor and very heavy texture or high AA modes in the latest games 🙂

Thanks MarshallR, I recently RMA'd my GTX 680 DCII Top due to it being fault, so now im wondering if I should hold off and tell em to rather give me this card instead. Hmmm, dnt know if I cant wait that long though. :confused:

That might be a little over-done, though I can't blame you for hoping to that end! 🙂

Is it via retailer or ASUS? Retailers are usually more flexible in this regard 😉

Myk SilentShadow - two threads because people who hit the GeForce support forums don't often look at the hardware/OC ones. I'll close the less popular one soon 🙂

It is by an online retailer but i've decided to stick with the 2gb dcu2t but I have a noob question. Would I benefit in any way if i bought the 4gb version and ran it in sli with the 2gb version instead of buying another 2gb version? Oh and is it even possible?
