Gigabyte GeForce GTX 680 4GB

Today we have the 4GB version of the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 680 on hand for some triple-monitor benchmarking. Designed to handle extreme resolutions, we will be comparing the GTX 680 4GB against a 2GB model and the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition in an effort to discover who makes the best GPU for multiple-monitor gaming...

The games that responded the best to the extra frame buffer included Battlefield 3 and Medal of Honor Warfighter, while increases were also seen in DiRT 3 and Alan Wake. From our results it is clear anyone looking to game at the extreme triple-monitor resolution of 7680x1600 will require not one but rather two GeForce GTX 680 4GB graphics cards. Still when spending over $3000 on monitors it’s not hard to imagine dishing out over $1100 on GPUs.

Finally I have been waiting for a good review on a 4GB card. Pretty much everything I have come across so far only tested at 2560x1600. Nice results.

Hello, I've been gaming on my three 30' samsungs for quite some time until AMD started using the mini display ports on the 6990's and I have been lost since then. I would greatly appreciate some in depth advice/photo's of how you are getting that resolution off just one 7970. It has been a problem in my gaming life for too long and I am glad I stumbled onto your review.

Sincerely,

Carl M Bland

Hi Carl, you need to use a pair of the mini-Display Ports and one of the DVI ports.

Hi! Looking for some help!

I currently max out the 1.5gb on my 2 580's at 2560x1600 very quickly in Skyrim with high res texture mods installed and then the game begins to jerk at times even at high frame rates.

I,m assuming I would also pass the 2gb limit easily!

So it's not just multi monitor setups I would assume that need more video memory.

Would it be that texture memory is just as important depending on what you are running?

TIA
