Linky doesn't work.

Glad you pointed these Asus TOP cards out to me FVB

An old dog can learn a new trick. I would recommend the Asus 670 TOP model myself as I really don't see the 680 doing anything beyond what the 670 can do. In my case I certainly won't experience a game that would play better on the 680 than the 670 because of FPS reasons. Others might but I don't think its likely. Not with a single monitor IMO. BTW, these cards are better at NVidia Surround (multi-monitor setups) than Fermi. I think these cards will actually do 3 monitors now without splitting cables. Also don't forget the 6xx cards are now PCI 3.0 compatible.

Click on the text in the picture it will work.

Your welcome it was Wolfsoul that first got them here and I fell in love with them from his !

**Sandog** · 06-03-2012, 01:51 PM

Kudo's to WoufSoul then

, I am such a devout EVGA fanboy that I can't see buying anything else. It even precluded me from buying ATI/AMD for some time. As I look around my setup though I have Asus everywhere. Asus mobo, router, DVD ROM, and now an Asus video card. It will be my 4th Asus video card BTW after 2 HD 5850's and an old 800XT. I use to rely on Asus for my ATI cards as they offered better HSF' than Sapphire. That is until Sapphire started producing the Toxic cards.

fvbounty · 06-03-2012, 06:18 PM

That one didn't last long already gone...

WolfSoul · 06-05-2012, 08:40 AM

I'll pass on this one for now...

I just ordered a big case to enjoy my 570 SLI

WolfSoul · 06-05-2012, 08:43 AM

And as for PCI 3.0.. Ive read an article somewhere and yea I believe it's premature for this technology to show any advantage, might be a few years before that kicks in

What case did you get Woldfoul?

WolfSoul · 06-05-2012, 09:32 AM

Storm Trooper.. my Sniper just feels too packed and I got one of my 570 laying ready to be used again since it felt like it didn't run well in the Sniper
Will prolly rebuild by end this week or begin next week (depends how fast the trooper arrives)
