NVIDIA launched Kepler, (Product name Nvidia GTX 680) the much anticipated successor to the Fermi architecture. Nvidia wanted not only to build the world fastest GPU, but also the world most power efficient. Feature wise, Nvidia added new technologies that fundamentally improve the smoothness of each frame and the richness of the overall experience and has some Cutting-Edge technology such as "GPU Boost".

What GPU Boost does is it automatically increases the clock speed of the GPU when it is under load, from a base clock speed of 1006MHz to 1058MHz to provide better frame rates. But what this feature also does is it reduces the clock speed when the GPU is not being taxed, dropping down all the way to 324MHz during idle. Due to this variable clock speed, the new GTX 680 manages to be very power efficient, with a TDP of just 195W, less than that of the older GTX 570, let alone the 580. Also, despite all that extra power, the 680 runs at 98 degrees Celsius, just one degree more than the 580.

Also, The launch price for the GTX 680 is ($499) which is lower than what AMD launched the 7970 (GTX competitive) for ($549). So basically, if you are out in the market for a powerful single GPU graphics card, the GTX 680 is the one to go for right now. Don't forget to check the Demo Below!
