Asus is starting to do better than MSI with the DCII especially for the Nvidia 6xx series, TFIII is still a one of the best coolers though.
 
That is a brilliant cooler, amazing temps.

I think giving it an 8/10 for price is high. I mean, £480? When both OC'd it looses in the toughest games around (BF3 and Metro) to the 7950...

Agreed. If it was me i'd have knocked the price score down a bit. Still a great card and the cooler is incredible, but its expensive nonetheless for the performance it delivered in tests

I must admit i was going to buy this card an till i heard about the gtx 670's i wonder how good the msi 670 are going to be or should i just buy this one
 
Delta temps on GPU's I would like to see next to the normal temps. Also the DCII on my gtx580's great after cooler love to see it on the gtx 680 even though its a triple sloter.

680s are way too overpirced for their performance dude.
 
Yeah, the 670s made the 680s not really worth paying the extra for. The Asus DCII TOP has 680 performance out of the box and still has overclock head room. Even with the ref 670s there is only a few % difference in performance, obviously a 680 will clock higher but a 670 isn't far behind plus depending on the model up to £100 cheaper.
 
A nice looking card, but performance is underwhelming considering the price tag. As mentioned above the 670 and 7950's are much smarter choices.
 
Nice card, but i wonder why they didn't bring this card out as a lightning.

The 680 are way to overpriced. Why would anyone but this when you can get a 7970 direct CU II for £390.

You guys get raped so hard on prices. A reference 680 here is priced at $499 or about £323. Now the problem still is finding one. 670s are easy to get though.

In comparison we get paid a lot more than Americans do so the price different is about the same. If i got paid £50000 a year that would be over $77000 so we don't get raped that much.
 
It's tax that rapes us Brits, we pay 20% income tax, plus national insurance from our wages and then we have to pay 20% tax on the stuff we buy.
