[btarunr]

Here are the first pictures of KFA2 GeForce GTX 680 Hall of Fame (HOF) Edition, an exclusive to markets KFA2, Galaxy's Europe brand, has a presence in. British retailer Overclockers UK listed the card for pre-order, it goes for £529.99, including VAT (US $854). The card features non-reference PCB and cooling assembly, its PCB dons a white color, which sets it apart from every other GTX 680 graphics card. The GeForce GTX 680 GPU is accompanied by 2 GB of GDDR5 memory across a 256-bit wide memory interface. The GPU is overclocked out of the box, with base core speed of 1202 MHz, boost core speed of 1267 MHz, and memory speed of 1502 MHz (6008 MHz GDDR5 effective).

The PCB implements bleeding-edge voltage regulation circuitry, that includes CPL-made single-phase chokes, International Rectifier DirectFET, and tantalum capacitors - stuff that's fit for avionics. The VRM is make up of an 8+2+2 phase circuit. The card draws power from two 8-pin PCIe power connectors. A Galaxy GX31 custom controller governs the VRM, providing software voltage control, voltage monitoring and power draw monitoring over SMBUS. The cooling solution is Galaxy's proven triple-fan cooler, which has been used on older Galaxy/KFA2 graphics cards. The cooler utilizes a long aluminum fin array, to which heat is conveyed by several copper heat pipes. It is then ventilated by three 90 mm LED-lit fans. Display outputs include one standard-sized DisplayPort, and three mini-DisplayPort connectors. According to OCUK, the KFA2 GTX 680 HOF Edition will start shipping on May 11.

White PCB looks hawt as hell.

 

[..'Ant'..]

Woah I've never sen white PCB before looks slick.

 

[Casecutter]

$854 USD! for what!

And What for? When actual OC'n limits are still curtailed based on dynamically adjust clock/ voltage base against the rendering load, temperature, and other factors.

 

[Raptor_i]

the price is also sick

 

[brandonwh64]

Cookies and creme!

I second this.

$854 USD! for what!

"looks at the card" . . . . nice card

"looks at the price" . . . . fuk that

 

[Vancha]

We pay more here. A reference 680 costs the equivalent of $723 USD. Expect the US (Galaxy) version to cost around $600, if not less.

Exactly, the prices here don't convert to that of the US.

No doubt it is an expensive card, looks gorgeous though.

Now that is sexy as hell. Screw the backplates, from now on I want white PCBs. Drop the price to <600€ and this baby gets gladly in my PC!

 

[Filiprino]

The port configuration is stupid. 3 miniHDMI and only 1 displayport. Enjoy your inhability to use more than 1 monitor at 120 Hz or more than 1 monitor with high resolution.

 

[dieterd]

this is EUROPEAN price! and cheepest GTX 680 in UK costs 730$, the price is high, but come on - beauty costs $$$ - what did you expect?

 

[ChristTheGreat]

Finally, whiteee things... Since this:

I want a White board or white VGA card!!!!!

 

[bogami]

Thes is it. Lrn !Design

 

[Bitgod]

A white video card on a white mobo would look sweet in my white 600T SE.

 

[jihadjoe]

And the best part is most people won't even notice the jizz on the card!

 

[micropage7]

nice white and solid white
cool!!

 

[xBruce88x]

Cookies and creme!

haha i was thinking the same thing

looks like an awesome card, they should make the fans white to match the pcb.

 

[Velvet Wafer]

Looks beautiful, sadly its an Nvidia, and f**king expensive!

 

[Steven B]

yea that looks really good, but white isn't good for extreme LN2 OC, it will tint the PCB yellow.

 

[OneMoar]

two of the chokes are not strait indicates to me poor quality control ... bad ... especially at 800 bucks
tantalum capacitors are nice in all but if you're solder is sloppy it might as well be garbage

Nearly missed that until I seen your post. On the up side, at least it proves they've managed to build them and not chuck out CAD images at us. I don't fancy pulling mine apart when I buy a couple and will trust they haven't done that for everyone.

Before I pull the trigger, what are the chances of a 4GB version the Ltd OC for the UK?
