There is only one thing worse than reading a review of an amazing GPU that you would love to buy if you could find it in stock; reading a review of several of these cards in SLI. That’s right, while you can’t find a GTX680 in stock, [H]ard|OCP has a pair of overclocked Galaxy GTX 680 GC’s which they are running in SLI, powering multiple monitors at a resolution of 5760 x 1200. Not only that but they are getting good enough frame rates to play the games. The only bad news is that the overclocked Galaxy card does not perform that much better than the stock card, however in [H]’s opinion the custom design is well worth the $30 premium.
"We’ve got two customized GALAXY GeForce GTX 680 GC video cards which boast a substantial boosted clock speed. We’ll test these cards in SLI and compare these to stock GTX 680 SLI and Radeon HD 7970 CFX performance. If you want the best SLI performance, you will want to check this out."

Makes me think of that GTX690
Makes me think of that GTX690 Ryan keeps taunting us with during the podcasts that is not in a gaming rig! Here’s a thought Ryan, make a fake one for when you want to show us the card in the podcast and send me the real one so it can be used for what it is meant for. 🙂 I would be gaming in triple monitor glory!
