The GeForce GTX 680 SC Signature has a price tag of $529.99 while the GeForce GTX 680 SC Signature+, which comes equipped with a backplate, costs $549.99. Neither model is available at this time.

If this comes with an 8-pin, does that mean the current limit is also raised so the card won't throttle as quickly?

Very nice, it looks great, and the pricing isn't too shabby.

It's not clear what the difference between the two cards is.

I have to agree. Looks very basic with no character at all other than the white strip with a frigging logo written across it.

That's the first thing that came to mind to the kids who don't like sleek and classy. They want loud orange LED rainbow pastel honda civic with GT wings looking type GPU's. |

Yes, of course. I missed that bit despite reading it twice, lol.

![]() Yeah, it looks kinda boring and functional, but I don't mind it. I would have preferred a dash of colour, though.

It's classy. It could be more interesting, but at least it's not adolescent-chic.

On topic - this looks good, and will look good on any case with a window. Even those 90 degrees Silverstone cases.

Classy and sophisticated makes a statement with this card; it performs very well, and is powerful. The understated cooler design accentuates that very thing, which reinforces its capability. Having cards, or cases, or even cars that look like race cars or transformers gets old really really fast, as in 1-2 years fast. That's teenager-grade trash design.

I don't care what the hell the damn thing looks like, as long as it performs well. Saying that, however, I must also say that (IMHO) the one cooling fan does not inspire confidence in me in its cooling abilities. After seeing the monsters from Zotac (2 massive cooling fans with an enlarged PCB) and Gigabyte (3 even bigger cooling fans), they make this EVGA look rather tame. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong when the reviews are out.
I also hope ASUS will release a MARS version of the 680, now THAT will be a killer graphics card!
