Hi All,
Just wanted some input...I ordered a 680 Classified, as soon as it popped up on Amazon for sale on Friday. However, I haven't opened the box. I happened to read Anandtech's review of the 680 Classified Saturday morning, and it was somewhat dismal. It's not guaranteed to be binned any higher than a normal chip, and the voltage is only partially unlocked. I haven't even bothered ordering the EKbot since I read the voltage is only partially unlocked. Seems like a lot of money for not much. Thinking about returning the card and possibly going for a Toxic 7970 or something with a bit more bang for the buck. Or am I making too much out of this review? Plus there's not much compute power (but I already knew that).
