I was surfing around for a brand new graphics card that was cheap and powerful, and found a GTX 680 4GB Model for $369 + Shipping. It's not the best deal but is great for a card that still is so powerful if you oc it!!
that one is only 2GB RAM
Mah bad.
Fixed the URL to PCCG.
its a good price for a gtx 680 but i much prefer the previous deal for the evga 4gb with backplate.
I'd stick to HD7970 slightly cheaper too

Agreed. When there's deals like this popping up quite frequently now, one of the O/C 7970 is much better bang for buck
Wow - i'm concerned about what you'd defined as "cheap." Not ranting or anything, but to me in my opinion ~$350 for gfx isn't cheap.
Oh sorry, it's just that I've been looking to upgrade for a long time now and felt that a GTX 680 4GB (4GB!!!) for $369 is quite reasonable. Once again, it is not the best deal but a fair one in my humble opinion :)
$100 cheaper than when I bought mine a year ago, it's a good card capable of running BF4 on High-Ultra settings.
I guess youve got the risk of it being second hand, but I've owned a 680 (2gb reference) for years. At only $400 it has worked out well. Second hand market is good.
I can't fathom how any retailer that still has stock of these can justify charging more than $330 for a GTX 680.
A GTX 770 can be had for just $10 dollars more than this deal; latest generation card, identical-if-not-superior performance:

And this is a completely stock, reference cooler with stock clock speeds and most likely a reference PCB/PWM design with very little potential for OC'ing.
Completely agree with this, the GTX770 is just a better card for like a negligible amount more.
that 770 is 2GB only, which may be limiting above 1080p, but otherwise ok and with a vastly superior cooler.
The 680 4GB (or even the 770 as it's just an o/c 680) is unlikely to be able to push enough fps at higher resolution/multiple monitors by itself to use 4GB, so SLI would probably be best.
It's a good price though, a few weeks ago, these were $450.
If you're looking to push above 1080p or for multiple monitors, you probably should step up to a R9 290 or a GTX 780, both of which are at really good prices now (i.e. below $600).
At 1080p, you won't need that 4GB frame buffer.
I got neg'd for stating facts and saying 680 is a good price, how does that work?!
that 770 is only 2GB - fact
2GB could be limiting above 1080p - fact
770 is o/c 680 - fact
neither 680 or 770 could push enough fps above 1080p to utilise 4GB - fact
using these 2 cards above 1080p, SLI would be best - fact
it's a good price for the 680 as they were $450 - fact
2 neg votes for these facts, bizzare.
people neg all the time dont take it personally.
I got negged for saying thanks, and Purchased. After someone posted a deal lol
How can you be shopping around when you work for PCCG….
Confused
