Nvidia has launched its first Kepler based graphics card, the GTX 680. The card sports 1536 CUDA Cores, a 256-bit memory interface, a GPU clock of 1006MHz and a 2GB of GDDR5, and features dual-DVI, HDMI and Display Port outputs. Gainward GTX 680 2GB runs at reference clocks, i.e. 1006MHz GPU and 6008MHz (GDDR5) memory. There are no shader clocks. The difference between Fermi and Kepler architecture lies in the fact that Nvidia equipped Kepler with more shader units. However, these shaders are now slower and run at GPU clocks. So, instead of doubling shader clocks, Kepler comes with double the amount of shaders. Nvidia made sure to boost the GTX 680’s performance and with that in mind, the company not only doubled the GTX 580’s shader count, but tripled it. The Gainward GeForce GTX 680 is available now for 498.85 Euro (about $658).

MSI has announced its newest graphics card, the MSI R7970 Lightning. This graphics card features a 384-bit memory interface, a core clock of 1070MHz with a 3GB of DDR5 VRAM set @ 5600MHz and powered by AMD’s 28nm Radeon HD 7970 GPU. Additional features include all-new Unlocked Digital Power Architecture that incorporates an Unlocked BIOS, Digital PWM Controller, SL-DVI-I, SL-DVI-D, 4x mini DisplayPort outputs, and enhanced 17 phase power design to boost overclocking potential to extreme levels and at the same time making overclocking easier than ever.

HIS (Hightech Information System) has recently announced its latest graphics card, the Radeon HD 6930 IceQ X.  This graphics card unique feature is its cooling system using a single-fan IceQ X. You will see that the graphics card is packed with a blue PCB featuring a GPU clock speed of 750MHz with a 256-bit memory interface and a 1 Gb of GDDR5 memory set @ 4800MHz. The HIS 6930 IceQ X is cooler compared to other graphics card because of the 9.2cm silent fan, huge amount of cool air is drawn from the central fan to cool down the GPU and other areas; the 4 heat pipes on the other hand enhance cooling performance by eliminating heat from the core area, giving hardcore gamers a maximum performance at its best.

Gigabyte has announced their latest graphics card powered by nVidia GT 440 GPU dubbed as the Gigabyte GVN440TC-1GI.
