ZOTAC Working On GeForce GTX 680 with 2 GHz Core Clock Speed

To me they absolutely need to implement both a peltier and watercooling, to keep those temps down on the hot side. Because those things do get toasty, and no matter how great and cool your GPU remains, what good is it if it fries the rest of your PC? No, the only viable solution is peltier + water..

of course, they will need to liquid cool the hot side of the peltier.. air cooling the peltier 'hot' side wont suffice.. the demo video was just that, a demo.. for actual application peltier+liquid heat exchanger is a must as employed by the DigitalStorm system.. u can see in pic below the liquid-cooled block with entry-exit hoses on the hot side of the peltier module('white' wafer seen sandwiched under pressure between two metal plates)..

how feasible is this type of cooling for a gpu knowing it will have higher TDP than a CPU is unknown.. so lets wait till April for Zotac to release more info

Zotac is overreaching IMO claiming 2Ghz core speed, maybe they can achive it on a single unit but to be market ready, don't think so :o I would LOVE to see these high Mhz in end user hand's so hope they have something up their sleeve/s :)

WC TEC would prolly be the best choice for cooling but you would need a serious TEC module and the supporting gear to dissipate all that heat and power the TEC module! Swiftech used to make/sell TEC equipped waterblock's but they stopped making them some time ago IIRC :o

That actually looks pretty sweet! :)

Then again, for that kind of money, it had better be... http://www.digitalstormonline.com/comploadsub-zero-tec.asp?id=615827
 
as far as the power requirements are concerned. it uses x2 (two)only -:pimp:6 pins :)
you do all know this has all the "new" tech within the gtx680 and can obviously do what they claim..

being skeptical ,as most are here, is all about being ill informed :)

research............

so we need to wait this thing
it would be interesting since only few top of the line products that come in custom layout

1.5Ghz should be possible but beyond 1.6 you need watercooling at least

I'd like to see it. Only 1800MHz took LN2 to achieve here, so I can't see a consumer product coming out that can do 2GHz.

at HWbot on LN2 theres one at 1.9GHZ
 
this is the the type of monsters i wanna see:toast: ​
 
In the remote case they release it, the price is going to be beyond $900

What if I told you mid-April is also Radeon HD 7990 launch time-frame?

they need that right now not in april cuz when 690 comes out amd is dead :laugh:
 
april fool's much

That was with the stock VRM gutted, and EVGA "Untouchables" EPower soldered on and 1.6v+ vGPU (very beefy 12 phase pwm/vrm vs stock 4 phase) :laugh:

So with a great PCB you can do about 1900 on LN2, some manufacturers are now designing/outputting those stronger PCBs.

I think a super cherry picked card with EPower modded and the voltmod can do 2 GHz, but are Zotac just going to sell a bare card with no cooler here or what? :rolleyes:
 
Conventional wisdom says : "2 GHz Core Clock Speed"- problematic, even with liquid nitrogen. Maybe that's ZOTAC unintentional mistake, or referring to dual-GPU based graphics card. Who knows. :)
 
With custom designs and extra stuff thrown on I don't think it's impossible. It's very unlikely to say the least. I wonder if they plan on doing a Closed Loop Liquid Cooling Solution.
 
is it normal that's no GTX680 is available in amazon nor newegg till now
 
And who is going to provide the required memory bandwidth to that gpu? Because you ain't gonna hit 9 GHz on the memory to provide it adequate bandwidth. :laugh:
