ASUS Releases Two-Slot GeForce GTX 680 DirectCU II with 4GB GDDR5
Meeting popular demand, the redesigned graphics card doubles video memory while delivering superior cool and quiet graphics power in a more accessible two-slot form
2012/11/22
While previous ASUS GeForce® GTX 680 DirectCU II graphics cards presented extreme power in a three-slot design, the redesigned edition packages the product in a convenient two-slot height. This allows for easier integration into more desktop PCs, and answers a popular call from the gamer and overclocker community to provide a two-slot GeForce® GTX 680 DirectCU II card. Notably, the new edition ups video memory to a massive 4GB GDDR5, which is twice the previous allotment. It updates DirectCU II thermal design with new and efficient SSU-shaped heatpipes, and offers the stability, longevity, and enhanced overclocking of exclusive ASUS DIGI+ VRM and Super Alloy Power. The card includes the GPU Tweak utility and participates in the ASUS/Ubisoft® game bundle promotion, which allows customers to choose one bonus game out of five on offer. The redesign signifies a move by ASUS towards more high-end cards with 4GB GDDR5, as the GeForce® GTX 670 DirectCU II has also been re-released in a 4GB edition. A two-slot GeForce® GTX 680 with 2GB GDDR5 will be made available early December.
