EVGA GeForce GTX 680 SC+ w/Backplate Pro Reviews

Even though it may be had to find on store shelves, the GTX 680 remains the best option if you are looking for high end performance and with their SC+ version, EVGA has succeeded in making a great card even more appealing. This may be one of the first pre-overclocked Kepler-based products on the market but it feels polished, stable and doesn't come at an outrageous price. From a performance standpoint, the GTX 680 SC+ delivers in spades. Upon first glance, the clock speeds seem to be conservative but once up and running, the card’s use of GPU Boost allowed core clocks to hover between 1215MHz to 1275MHz in most applications. The result was an in-game performance increase of about ten percent over the reference design, which is impressive. While the SC+ won’t likely “feel” all that much faster within a typical game environment, it is more likely to provide consistent framerates in high resolution, high detail scenarios. This is particularly important in situations where someone wants to use NVIDIA’s 3D Vision, apply high instances of anti aliasing or run a multiple monitor setup.
