2GB of GDDR5 always seemed like a weird amount of memory to have on
the latest NVIDIA video card, the GTX 680. It's not that 2GB isn't a
lot, it's just that we're at the point where we feel when spending in
excess of $500, we'd have a video card that carried a minimum of 3GB.
The second we knew the card came in 2GB flavor, though,
we knew that it wouldn't take long for someone to come out and offer us a
variant with 4GB. Just like they were the first to offer us a custom
designed version, today they're the first to offer us a 4GB version. Of
course we're talking about Palit.
The other week we looked at the Palit Jetstream GTX 680 2GB in not only single card form, but also in SLI. Impressed with what was on offer from the card we were excited to see what doubling the memory to 4GB would do.
As usual before we get into
the performance side of things there's a few things that we need to do
with the first of course being check out the package that Palit have put
together. Once we've done that we'll take a closer look at the card
itself before moving into the specification side of things. Finally
before we get in to the benchmark side of things we'll see what's going
on with our testbed today and the cards we'll be using in our graphs.
