#NVIDIA GTX 680 SCREEN SUPPORT SOFTWARE#

Unlike its nemesis, the AMD Radeon HD 7970, Nvidia's new card doesn't require any application-specific software profiles for power management it's all done using hardware monitors, which track power, temperature, and utilization and react almost instantaneously. The reference card comes with two 6-pin auxiliary power connectors, but the more extreme variants will probably be equipped with 8-pin power jacks to help you max out performance. Nvidia expects its board-making partners to really go to town and overclock - which in this case means raising the operational range higher - the GTX 680 right out of the gate, while advanced tweaking software will be provided to let you make similar changes on the fly as well.

Of course, you can also break out of that range, with the card downclocking itself as low as 324MHz when idling and easily reaching stable speeds in excess of 1,100MHz on the upside. The GeForce GTX 680 has a 1,006MHz base clock and a 1,058MHz boost clock and will dynamically alternate between those values depending on load and power consumption. That power figure is important for another reason: Nvidia no longer has a static clock speed for its graphics card. Billed as the most efficient GPU ever put together, the GTX 680 has a very reasonable power envelope of just 195W, breaking with the tradition of every new high-end graphics card requiring more power than the previous generation. Nvidia's long-awaited move to 28nm technology is finally upon us today with the launch of the GeForce GTX 680.
