    If only these cards followed the trend set by the GTX480 you probably would have been able to find his house by looking for dimmed street lights. Shame that stalking technique won't work with the power efficiency on those two :(

    Can't wait for the benchmarks.

    I'm sure you won't have to wait too long.

    I'm gonna run a few benchies at stock settings, see how these things scale in SLI.

    Such a nice rig setup, if I had the desk space this would be my ideal.

    Oh and sweet 680's!

    I'll have to wait and see what the situation is with the 4GB models and how well these overclock/noise etc. I currently now have two 360mm rads cooling a single 2600k haha.

    @ Bennieboy - Cheers man, glad you like it.

    Where abouts are you then?

    I'm afraid I keep my house well locked up. Anyway, first SLI benchies in 3Dmark11......

    (btw, if anyone wants to see specific benchmarks, just give me a shout and I'll do my best to accommodate).

    I just thought it's worth mentioning that these cards run incredibly quiet. Throughout the benchmarks, the fans were barely audible over my water loop.

    3d mark scores are gibberish to me. Just a number.

    Barely audible sounds promising. I will still liquid cool though. Since the mosfet area isn't cooled by heatsink I could use a VGA only block.

    BF3?
