GTX680M(Left) vs GTX675M(Right) in dimension comparism








SLi is possible




GTX 680M uses Samsung VRAM




GTX675M(Left) vs GTX680M(Right) Die area




Ready to install, used stock thermal pads + PK-1 thermal paste






VGA Empty!??

I didn't expect it to be on parts sale so soon lol. This time I'm going to avoid using ICD7 and use Prolimatech PK-1 plus Phobya 7W/mk 0.5mm thermal pads, don't want any scratches on the 1k+ card . !

I definitely want to know the differences between the 675M and the 680M since when I order in 2 weeks from now, I'm going to pick one of two of those gpus. Looking forward to your results. Also some comparisions will be greatly appreciated!!!

I'm going to benchmark the GTX 675M these days, will probably switch the GPU to GTX 680M after monday and do some benchmark, so Tuseday will probably be the time I upload the result.

Hackness,

Greatly appreciated

The PCB looks very similar to the clevo 675M by the way, so the heatsink should be the same as the clevo GTX 675M's, if anyone is able to compare it with the dell GTX 675M. Not sure about the Sli yet, will check and take photos once I get it. Also a side by side shot between the clevo 675M and clevo 680M too. By the way the upgrademonkey in that post is the guy I bought it from.

Will probably do BF3 1 hour in the same map using High and follow by Ultra setting with no FXAA or MSAA on each card, there'll be 4 screenshots. Hopefully it'll give you a rough idea.
