We have to see the new gpus and their power to see the cost vs performance difference.
I would not feel 100% comfortable doing sli 560 with that 750 tx. |

What do people think about the 680? Or is it still too soon to tell?

It's an awesome card all around, speed, thermals, and power consumption.

I have it overclocked on the ode 1's hx600. I have another friend with it on a PSU of 650w. Like Alex mentioned above, the power consumption super low and comparable to even the 560ti.

Hi Joe,
If that was my system I would remove the 560 and add one 680. You will see a big improvement over your 560. You have plenty of power for that. In fact I will be replacing my 5870 with a 680 one of these days. Frank |
