    Uhhh, sorry guys! I thought the forum auto-resized them? It always does for me?

    EDIT: Also, just wait until I go from 16MP to 24MP when I upgrade my DSLT!

    It does.... but only on screen. It still has to load them in when first viewed, and it does this full res which gives you the option to view full size by clicking the banner it puts on the images.. :)

    Have you seen anyone commit to a 4GB version yet? If my info is correct, you might be waiting a while for double-density 6Gbps capable GDDR5.

    Anyone here went from a EVGA 460 1GB to a 680? (any brand, they're using the same fan design) How's the noise in comparison? My EVGA 460 sounds like a hoover at 60%+ fan speed.

    Pushing evga fan up

    50-60% fan can't here it over water cooling fans ( no game ever reaches above 50 )

    70% bearly audable

    80% can here card above water cooling

    Didn't bother going higher, 80% fan kept cards at 52c in furmark burn test

    They're listed on EVGA's website. I'm assuming they won't be too long.

    Just like to point something out to all those that insist on buying this new fangled GTX 680.

    My GTX 570 @ Stock.

    [​IMG]

    I paid around £250 for my GPU and your talking £400+ for 680 netting you on average only 14 frames per second according to single GTX 680 benchmarks posted on page one.

    Nice! I'd be interested to see what GDDR5 it uses :)

    If your wondering how EVGA 580's overclock, just look at mine, for possibly the last time :wallbash:

    It's minimum that matters, and your 570 gets 9fps whereas the 680 gets 28fps. Besides.. that's at 1080P. Can you run it at 2560x1600 at full settings and try again? I think you'll see a different picture. If I only had a 1080P monitor I'd be keeping the 580s. In fact, if I had 1080P I'd probably have not got the second 580 in the first place.

    I've just seen the Galaxy 4GB models on TechPowerUp (won't link to a competing site here) - it looks like they are doing front and back of the card for double-density. PCB cost+++ so I wonder what the final price will be.
