Nvidia has launched the GTX 680 and it will be the World’s Fastest Graphic Card. Its is going to hit shelves soon. The new card is based on Nvidia’s all new SMX shader architecture. Along with faster performance and more power efficiency, the new GTX 600 series will also bring with it a host of new features. Nvidia is all set to launch the Graphic Card by Saturday.The expected price, as said by Nvidia in a official press release, is to be $499 (Rs.24,500). Adding the taxes and duties, one can expect a street price of Rs.30,000 (approx.). If this press release is true, then it is going to be a lot cheaper than the HD 7970.
Looking at the specifications alone, we see that the GTX 680 packs in almost three times the shader units, as compared to the GTX 580. Despite this, the TDP remains at just 195W, so you only need two 6-pin power connectors to power this card. The card is based on the 28nm fabrication process and will support DX11.1, which will be featured in Windows 8. The GTX 680 is the first Nvidia card to support 3DVision surround, up to 4 monitors, from a single card. New features exclusive to the card include GPU Boost.

This dynamically gives you a boost on frame rates, if the scene being rendered demands this, but at the same time, does not go beyond the set TDP. They’ve also introduced some new Anti-Aliasing modes like FXAA and TXAA which helps reduce jaggies without a major blow to the framerates. Adaptive VSync is another new addition that automatically enables or disables VSync in a game depending on the framerate. All this sounds very exciting and after a painfully long wait, we can finally put this card to the test against AMD’s HD 7970.
