    EVGA GTX 680 2GB Nvidia Surround


    Hi Guys, not sure if there has been a thread about this already, but couldnt find one.

    I would love to upgrade to a triple display setup, and know there can be complications with an SLI or CrossFire setup, so was gonna try a single card set up.

    I am looking at GTX 680 but not sure whether to go for a 2GB model of the 4GB.

    Has any one got a 2GB 680 and running Nvidia Surround? If so how does it run?

    Thanks in advance
    Toby

    I would say go for the 4GB model (if you have the cash).
    Having more would be good for games that are released in the future.

    I would definitely go with the 4Gig card especially with a 3 monitor setup.

    That was my thought, thanks for the help guys.

    One more quick question, is there much difference between a 4gb 680 and a 3gb 7970?

    on reviews and benchmarking i cant see much of a difference? might be me being dum lol

    There is a 1GB difference:). I know nothing about AMD products but I would say if the cost savings is great go with the 7970.

    its about 550-590 for the 4Gb 680 and 380 for the 7970 so quite a difference, but is the extra 150-200 (ish) more worth it?

    plus i might in the future expand to a dual card set up possibly but would review that when ever

    You're looking for a single card solution to run three displays?
