So i was looking around for a cheap video card mainly HD7850 and stumble onto this baby, too bad i only play at 1600x1080 and my Radeon 6850 is more than enough for my occasional gaming.
I call them up yesterday and they said they had several in stock.
Just like to share since there is so much hype for video cards lately :)
EDIT: Check out the review and benchmarks here http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/gigabyte_geforce_gtx_68…
also note that 2gb vram isnt suffecient to play bf4 on ultra at 1080p. you run out of vram then your fps drops.
even at 1080p?
yep
bf4 not bf3
BF4 alpha is showing a tad over 2GB at 1080 and full settings on GTX 780:

Release version of the game might be optimised better, though. Surely a lot of people will get disappointed if 2GB is not enough…
Those are based off the standard OEM Models dude.
I don't see how that's even relevant, he's talking about not having enough RAM.
There's another review here showing VRAM usage

Heck my 7970 3gb has trouble in some scenes.
Cheapest staticice is $349:

Don't forget, 680 is about on par with 770 and 7970. Powerful GPU:

Only $16 more than the recent HD 7970 deal, fantastic value.
Only issue with both is potential difficult securing stock with MSY.
Hey all
I was just being curious and see what kind of performance this card actually offers, i stumble onto this site which has some descent reviews.

This card benchmarks is pretty descent, I am not sure that my Antec 620w High current gamer PSU can handle this. I already OC my AMD FX4100 from 3.5GHz to 4.5Ghz and power draw is around 200w. This card at full load is 400w….
Nice price, just remember that I believe this is the 3 slot design, its a massive card
