Nvidia is calling the Geforce GTX 680 2GB the fastest, most efficient GPU ever built bold claims considering the substantial increases on both fronts exhibited by AMD’s 7-series graphics cards. Can Nvidia banish the Fermi-flavoured demons of 2010 and deliver a GPU to be proud of? Let’s find out.Ĭlick to enlarge - Will the GTX 680 2GB be your next graphics card upgrade? Today sees the first answering shot from Nvidia in the battle for 28nm supremacy, with the flagship GTX 680 2GB taking aim at AMD’s high-end. The HD 7900 series of graphics cards and their 28nm Tahiti GPUs have been on sale for close to three months, with AMD filling out the rest of its range in the meantime to greater (HD 7800 series) and lesser (HD 7700 series) success. Fast forward to 2012 and we again find Nvidia trailing AMD. Shipping six months after AMD had debuted its DX11 GPUs based on the very successful Evergreen architecture, Nvidia was left playing catch up with a card that failed to impress. Two years ago, almost to the day, Nvidia released its first DX11 GPU based on the Fermi architecture, the GTX 480 1.5GB. It’s funny how history tends to repeat itself.
