Monster Card!

GIGABYTE Super Overclock Series GeForce GTX 680 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GV-N680SO-2GD
GIGABYTE Super Overclock Series GeForce GTX 680 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GV-N680SO-2GD

Pros: This card is huge and looks awesome! Runs pretty cool and can pretty much handle any game at full settings. Runs great in SLI!

Cons: I'm not going to dock this an egg for this because it was an easy fix but upon first installation and boot up one of the fans on the cooler was making a super load whining noise. After I investigated I found out but just loosening the heatsink screws on the card that go into the fan resolved the problem. I guess it was too tight from the factory and was causing some rubbing or something. lol

Overall Review: This is my third gigabyte card and I've never had a problem with any of them. I am running this card in sli with another Gigabyte GTX 680 on a coolermaster 850w power supply and I've had great results. I can play any game on highest settings at 2560x1400 and AA on with no problems at all. I can even run Metro Last Light highest settings with 2x AA with only minor slow downs in certain areas but I heard that happens even with Titans.

Most Critical Review

Worked good until it died

NETIS WF2190 AC1200 Wireless High Gain USB 3.0 Adapter with Dual 5 dBi Antenna & USB Cradle Extension Compatible with Windows MAC Linux OS

Pros: Cheap, high gain, good coverage, and fast ac usb adapter.

Cons: Since the first week of ownership this device would kick in and out and I would always have to reset it to get the unit to work. Today it looks like the unit has finally quite working as I can not get it to power on or work on a different computer. It also sucks because it's too late to go through the seamless Newegg return and now I have to send it back through Netis, however, currently Netis' website is down. Woo hoo.

Current Fastest Single GPU Card

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 980 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card GV-N980D5-4GD-B
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 980 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card GV-N980D5-4GD-B

Pros: Power efficient, highly overclockable, and very fast. I picked up two of these two days after release to power my new 4K monitor and they are doing a beautiful job. I run all games on highest settings with most running at a constant 60fps.

Cons: None that I can really think of!

Overall Review: While the fans aren't too loud they are quite audible when the cards are under a full load. However, this really isn't a con as this will be the same for all reference 980's, I guess I am just used to usually having non reference cards without the blower design. I am running two of these cards on an 850w psu with an overclocked 3770k.

Pros: Cools great, seems relatively small in a full tower case, and was fairly easy to install.

Cons: I don't have any complaints about it!

Overall Review: Mounted in an NZXT Switch 810. Fit just fine and is cooling a 3770k @ 4.2 at around 45C under heavy gaming load.
