Note however that NVIDIA has dropped the shader clock with Kepler, opting instead to double the number of CUDA cores to achieve the same effect, so while 1536 CUDA cores is a big number itвЂ™s really only twice the number of cores of GF114 as far as performance is concerned. This means GTX 6 CUDA cores, a massive increase from GTX 580 (512) and GTX 560 Ti (384). Starting from the top, GTX 680 features a fully enabled GK104 GPU вЂ“ unlike the first generation of Fermi products there are no shenanigans with disabled units here.

With Kepler what weвЂ™re ultimately looking at is a die shrunk distillation of Fermi, and in the case of GK104 thatвЂ™s specifically a distillation of GF114 rather than GF110. To be sure there are some very important changes, but at a high level the workings of Kepler have not significantly changed compared to Fermi. Unlike Fermi or AMDвЂ™s GCN, Kepler is not a brand new architecture.

As such this is the first NVIDIA launch where weвЂ™re not in a position to talk about the ramifications for Tesla or Quadro, or really for that matter what NVIDIAвЂ™s peak performance for this generation might be.ДЄnyhow, weвЂ™ll jump into the full architectural details of GK104 in a bit, but letвЂ™s quickly talk about the specs first. At 294mm2 GK104 is not Big Kepler, and while NVIDIA doesnвЂ™t comment on unannounced products, somewhere in the bowels of NVIDIA Big Kepler certainly lives, waiting for its day in the sun. Since the days of the G80, NVIDIA has always produced a large 500mm2+ GPU to serve both as a flagship GPU for their consumer lines and the fundamental GPU for their Quadro and Tesla lines, and have always launched with that big GPU first. What you wonвЂ™t find today however вЂ“ and in a significant departure from NVIDIAвЂ™s previous launches вЂ“ is Big Kepler. While NVIDIA is not like AMD in that they donвЂ™t announce products ahead of time, itвЂ™s a sure bet that weвЂ™ll eventually see GK107 move up to the desktop and GK104 move down to laptops in the future. Meanwhile in the mobile space we have the GT640M, which is based on the GK107 GPU. On the desktop we have the GTX 680, based on the GK104 GPU. Technically speaking KeplerвЂ™s launch today is a double launch. As weвЂ™ll see, not only has NVIDIA retaken the performance crown with the GeForce GTX 680, but they have done so in a manner truly befitting of their drive for efficiency. Launching today is the GeForce GTX 680, at the heart of which is NVIDIAвЂ™s new GK104 GPU, based on their equally new Kepler architecture. The end result of which is NVIDIAвЂ™s next generation GPU architecture: Kepler. With a focus on efficiency, NVIDIA has stripped Fermi down to the core and then built it back up again reducing power consumption and die size alike, all while maintaining most of the aspects weвЂ™ve come to know with Fermi. So how do you follow up on Fermi? As it turns out, you follow it up with something that is in many ways more of the same. Though it was a very clearly a rough start for NVIDIA, Fermi ended up doing quite well in the end.

With Fermi NVIDIA not only captured the performance crown for gaming, but they managed to further build on their success in the professional markets with Tesla and Quadro.

#NVIDIA GTX 680 DRIVER#

Support for 4k tiled MST displays requires 326.19 driver or later.ДҐ - Not applicable to OEM sku - contact OEM for more information.вЂњHow do you follow up on Fermi?вЂќ ThatвЂ™s the question we had going into NVIDIAвЂ™s press briefing for the GeForce GTX 680 and the Kepler architecture earlier this month. 4096x2160 (including 3840x2160) at 60Hz supported over Displayport. See for more details.Д¤ - 3840x2160 at 30Hz or 4096x2160 at 24Hz supported over HDMI.

#NVIDIA GTX 680 UPGRADE#

Upgrade your GPU to full 3D capability with NVIDIA 3DTV Play software, enabling 3D gaming, picture viewing and 3D web video streaming.

#NVIDIA GTX 680 SOFTWARE#

See the list of SLI-Certified components for more information.ДЈ - Support for HDMI including GPU accelerated Blu-ray 3D support (Blu-ray 3D playback requires the purchase of a compatible software player from CyberLink, ArcSoft, Corel, or Sonic), x.v.Color, HDMI Deep Color, and 7.1 digital surround sound will be added in a Release 260 driver. SLI requires sufficient system cooling and a compatible power supply. See for more information.Дў - A GeForce GTX 680 GPU must be paired with another GeForce GTX 680 GPU (graphics card manufacturer can be different).

The Intel X79/SNB-E PCI Express 2.0 platform is only currently supported up to 5GT/s (PCIE 2.0) bus speeds even though some motherboard manufacturers have enabled higher 8GT/s speeds.ДЎ - NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround require two or more graphics cards in NVIDIA SLI configuration, 3D Vision glasses and three matching 3D Vision-Ready displays. *GeForce GTX 680 supports PCI Express 3.0.
