Nvidia GTX 680 reviews
Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2012 6:15 am
Performance is equal or better than 7970 in games. Compute performance is generally good, better than 7970, with the notable exception of double precision floating point performance ~10% of 7970 performance.
Power consumption is between 7950 and 7970 ~200W.
Price is the same as 7970 499$/€.
Original cooler is not quiet (shocker), someone already mounted a Thermalright Spitfire (and custom PCB for VRM!) The cooler can be separated from the backplate, so using the original backplate for VRM cooling and a custom cooler for the GPU seems possible. The cards seems to use the same mounting hole configuration as GTX 580 (waiting for confirmation).

Palit is too quick in updating their product page..
Newegg links are back, glad that no price-jacking happened so far. LOL.
