NVIDIA GPU Boost technology, which dynamically adjusts GPU speeds to maximize gaming performance.Special board components, including acoustic dampeners, high-efficiency heat pipes and custom fins, that create a quiet gaming experience.A new streaming multiprocessor block, known as SMX, that delivers twice the performance per watt of previous-generation products.Setting the standard for future enthusiast-class GPUs, the GeForce GTX 680 is built on an array of new technologies, including: It also provides twice the performance per watt of the GeForce GTX 580, the flagship Fermi-based processor that it replaces. The GeForce GTX 680 GPU brings impressive performance and extreme efficiency to the desktop gaming market, delivering a quiet, smooth, extremely fast experience.Ĭompared with the closest competitive product, the GeForce GTX 680 GPU is more than 300 percent faster in DirectX 11 tessellation performance (1) and up to 43 percent faster in cutting-edge games such as Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (2), yet consumes 28 percent less power (3). GeForce GTX 680: A Marriage of Speed and Extreme Efficiency

Kepler is based on 28-nanometer (nm) process technology and succeeds the 40-nm NVIDIA Fermi architecture, which was first introduced into the market in March 2010. Ultrabook users will love the GT 600M family for its performance and power efficiency.” Gamers will love the GTX 680’s performance, as well as the fact that it doesn’t require loud fans or exotic power supplies. “It brings enormous performance and exceptional efficiency. “The Kepler architecture stands as NVIDIA’s greatest technical achievement to date,” said Brian Kelleher, senior vice president of GPU engineering at NVIDIA. For notebooks, the new lineup of GeForce 600M GPUs puts the “ultra” in Ultrabooks, enabling smaller, more powerful designs than were previously possible. The result of some 1.8 million man-hours of work over five years, the Kepler architecture’s first offerings bring unprecedented technical capabilities to both gaming desktops and Ultrabooks.įor desktop gaming, the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 680 GPU provides a faster, smoother and richer experience. NVIDIA today launched the first GPUs based on its next-generation Kepler™ graphics architecture, which deliver dramatic gaming performance and exceptional levels of power efficiency.
