Next in our series of video cards review is a product from ASUS. As a large tier-1 hardware manufacturer, ASUS is both a partner of AMD and nVidia for its graphics products. Today we'll be looking at one of ASUS' high end nVidia GeForce GTX 680 based products. One step below the flagship of ASUS' GTX 680 series, the GTX680-DC2O-2GD5 has most of the same ASUS exclusive features as their top dog: the DirectCU II cooler and 10 power phases coupled with the DIGI+ VRM. The only difference is a smaller factory overclock.

Today we published a rather special article. We took 64 graphics cards from the last five years, and tested each one with our current graphics benchmarks. It is quite interesting to see how each successive generation of AMD (ATI back then) and Nvidia video cards pushed performance to another level. We started with the ATI Radeon HD 3000 series and the Nvidia GeForce 8000 series, which were the first DirectX 10-compatible video cards. We picked the high-end cards from each generation, and also the mid-range ones. Surprisingly, a lot of these hold up quite well, even in today’s demanding video games. If your PC is still running on an old graphics card, now you can see exactly how much (or how little) you will gain if you buy a newer one.

Nous avons un métier de rêve, oui nous autres journalistes ; En plus d’être systématiquement beaux, jeunes, ainsi que terriblement modestes, nous passons des instants incroyables. Le récit que je vais vous livrer en fait pleinement parti. Imaginez-vous, on vous propose de tester la HD 7970 Matrix Platinum. Oui, vous avez bien entendu, la carte qui a le même impact pour le Geek qu’une rencontre avec Megan Fox pour un cinéphile. En plus, vous vous rendez compte que la carte n’est pas seulement fantasmagorique, puisque qu’elle rehausse le nom de HD 7970 à un niveau jamais égalé…

A PC that doesn't make a sound, it remains the ultimate goal for many a hardware enthusiast. We recently review the passively cooled HTPC chassis Streacom FC-5. The Dutch company Quibus Enzo proved with its Knoll Creek Silent system that it's possible to passively cool a fairly powerful system with a Core i5 processor and Radeon HD 6770 graphics card quite effectively, as long as you use the right components. If you want to create your own completely silent desktop along the same lines, you'll need a passively cooled graphics card. There isn't a whole lot of choice in that category, but Hardware.Info tested and reviewed four of them.

Selbstverständlich wollen wir neben vielen anderen, wichtigen und nicht zu verachtenden Komponenten, auch unser nagelneues Setup für den GPU-Bereich vorstellen. Gespickt meiner Intel Ivy Bridge CPU und einem dicken Mainboard-Untersatz aus dem Hause ASUS, bieten sich schon vor dem eigentlichen Grafikkarten-Test die besten Voraussetzungen. Nachfolgend wollen wir einmal das gesamte Testsetup, unsere Testmethoden sowie den kompletten Benchmark-Parcours im Detail vorstellen.

The video card from EVGA we're looking at today is the GeForce GTX 670 FTW LE 2GB. To easily understand where it fits in EVGA's lineup, it their entry level non-reference design offering that's one step higher than the basic reference design. With the term FTW (for the win) in it's name, you'd probably assume that this is one of EVGA's higher end cards. You would be semi-right, as the FTW (and FTW SIG2) version are EVGA's top 2GB GTX 670 products. It's the LE suffix that denotes the lower end of the scale. To me, FTW LE is an oxymoron.

Fast noch pünktlich zum Weihnachtsgeschäft versucht AMD eine neue Grafikkarten-GPU zu vermarkten. Diese läuft unter der Radeon-HD-7870-Namensgebung, setzt aber auf eine HD-7900-GPU auf. Zumindest hätte das Produkt den Namen Radeon HD 7870 Boost-Edition verdient, da deutlich flotter als eine HD-7870-Grafikkarte. Ein erster Vertreter zeigt sich in Form der VTX3D Radeon HD 7870 Black und unser heutiger, erster Test will zeigen, in welcher Performance-Klasse Tahiti LE spielt.

Nachdem AMD Ende vergangenen Jahres seine HD 7000 Serie präsentierte, wurde im Hause Nvidia mit Hochdruck an dem Release der GTX 600 Serie gearbeitet. Im ersten Quartal 2012 war es dann soweit, Nvidias Flaggschiff die Geforce GTX 680 ging als direkter Gegenspieler zur Radeon HD 7970 an den Start. Zwei Monate darauf schob man die Geforce GTX 670 als Konkurrenz zur Radeon HD 7950 nach, so sollte auch das bezahlbare Mittelfeld abgedeckt werden. Seitdem ist einige Zeit vergangen und die Grafikkartenhersteller haben modifizierte Versionen auf den Markt gebracht, von denen wir uns fünf Modelle genauer anschauen wollen.

To assist consumers with buying decisions at Christmas, AMD have done their bit by starting a campaign dubbed "Never Settle" and within this campaign, they have bundled some of the biggest titles on the market with their 7 series of graphics cards. To find out exactly what is available, you can check out their handy landing page here. Within this are some key titles including FarCry 3, Hitman: Absolution and Sleeping Dogs and we think these games are so good that we actually use two of them in our own graphics benchmarks.
