Still on the East Side
Taiwan-based Gigabyte Technology is now working on releasing another customized GeForce GTX 680 card, a model codenamed GV-N680OC-4GD which is factory overclocked, packs 4 GB of memory (double the amount of most GTX 680s), and comes equipped with a WINDFORCE 3X 450 W triple-fan cooler.

Gigabyte's card also has an Ultra Durable VGA design (2oz copper PCB, Ferrite Core (Metal) Chokes, Low RDS (on) MOSFET, Japanese Solid Capacitor), a GPU clocked at 1071/1137 MHz Base/Boost (standard is 1006/1058 MHz), a 256-bit memory interface, a memory clock of 6008 MHz, and dual-DVI, HDMI (gold-plated) and DisplayPort outputs. No word yet on availability or pricing.

Upgrade to this. It's 4GB! Two times faster than GTX 680 2GB :D

lol, even GTX 690 got 4gb but it's like SLi still limited to 2gb even u got 2 cards, it's like i don't get why u need an extra card when it's like u only got memory usages of one card not both.

Every GPU in SLI/CF config needs it's own memory. Calling GTX 690 a 4GB is misleading, because it's actually 2GB per GPU. Reviewers and other HW-related people should call it a 2GB card. I guess, tho, it's fair enough for manufacturers to call it a 4GB card, because those 4GB physically really exist.

Where does it say that it is triple slot? It just says Triple fan. If it's the same cooler as both of my Gigabyte 670's than it is just a dual slot.

It's purdy and all.. but.. considering its 6 series, why the need for so much cooling? Also, if it's not easily usable for sli setups, that's a fail. Those of you who buy high end stuff, will eventually sli until you can get the next gen! Right now a single 680 is plenty, but eventually... well probably sooner than later, you'll want more.

the fans take up a 3rd slot in a PCI bracket Configuration, most SLI motherboards are dual slot

yup cuz the top card still has to compile everything before its output on to the VGA/DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort)

I Also recall alot of people bitching about how other cards have 4 GB of memory whats any different about this?

That triple slot thing is manageable for me (tho really, was it necessary?), but blue PCB yet again? That's probably the biggest no-no for me. Not much of a problem for the custom builds I do tho...

To me, blue is one of the nicest colors for a PCB of a card.

Dual slot with a 3 slot backplate

If you look carefully at the photos, it seems the card is about 2 slots wide but the back cover plate is for 3 slots...

I know cards need some space to breathe but then again, if you want SLI or whatever, it'll work, right?

It looks like shroud base is at 2 slot height, but fans are stcking out a little more.

That's Gigabyte's problem. They should have made cut-ins in heatsink and placed fans there to make this card dual-slot. Or simply used heatsink from 2GB version...
