PCI 3...does that mean we need all new motherboards to even use this thing?

I need this.

Nearly impossible to utilize its capabilities. Worth it.

Nearly impossible to utilize its capabilities with videogames. Worth it.

fix'd

I would max out every capability of this card no problem.

Re: Sup GTX 680

Even when it comes to gaming though, it does feel nice to have an overcompensating rig sometimes, knowing that it will totally chew apart everything you can throw at it at maximum settings.

Found this interesting article. There are a lot of additional features besides raw performance. Still way to expensive to be worthwhile as of yet. On most modern games it can play at 60 fps at 5760x1080 with 3 monitors. That is so excessive that there would be literally no way to max this card while gaming on a single screen.

Re: Sup GTX 680

Honestly, no card lasts forever.

I bought my GTX 295 when it was cutting-edge and capable of supporting huge resolutions + multiple screens + high framerate + high core clocks + lots of texture memory, etc -- and people then were saying the same thing: "There's no way to max this thing out!"

Few years later, it'll start to get maxed out, lol. Even today, my 295 still handles most games at max settings beautifully, but not juggernauts like BF3. Then again, I don't game much so this card isn't quite worth it to me yet. I need a lineup of games worth playing.

Before that happens they will have to develop even more insane memory hogging video games. I kind of feel like we are hitting a peak in terms of home computing power, but I could be wrong.

Yepppp, tis how it works

I remember when I first installed Blade Runner and thought it was absolutely ridiculous that it needed over a GB of hard drive space, haha.

You know there are graphics card far more suited for high end video editing such as the quadro cards. Cards such as the 680 are literally made for gaming purposes.
