Hey wait, this will finally I mean I can read the FMC in the NGX when totally zoomed out! :D

I doubt you will see much performance improvement with FSX but I would be pleasantly surprised. I think the advantage is that you could now run three displays off one card like Eyefinity, power saving, and if I read right only requires only one 6-pin for power?!

Performs very well against 7970, even at multimonitor surround mode:http://www.hardocp.com/article/2012/03/22/nvidia_kepler_gpu_geforce_gtx_680_video_card_review/1Can't wait to see what the sure to follow 4GB versions can do, and even better what the real 680 (685?) gk100 that is delayed will do.Hopefully someone with FSX will test it soon.

The memory bus with is down to 256-bit when compared to the 384-bit of the 580. I had heard that the memory bus is really important in FSX. That is why I wondered. How much of a disadvantage will that be?RH

All the benchmarks I've seen this morning have been stellar - it outclasses even the dual GPU cards from the last generation.

I did some benching last night to sate my curiosity - according to the online reviews, it seems to perform on a par (or very slightly worse; almost negligible) with my SLi GTX570s - so when you consider it is a single card solution with significantly less power consumption and heat output, it seems like a good product.Be interesting if the new tech on board would actually make it deliver a smoother end user experience than the SLi setup.

Hopefully someone with FSX will test it soon.

I got my order in and it should be here Tuesday. I won't be doing any multi-monitor tests and depending on my schedule this coming week I should have some numbers from my i5 rig by next Friday.

Cool congrats, they've been in and out of stock all day, will look forward to your FSXMark11 results.

Perhaps with the RejectThreshold tweak, we could see some improvements. From what I know about it, it passes some of the information to the GPU to be rendered once it hits a certain threshold. So with the GTX 680 having more memory and speed than the GTX 580, this could be a good thing.

The memory bus is down to 256-bit when compared to the 384-bit of the 580. That might hinder its performance in FSX.RH

I am not sure it will have a massive difference on FSX...though perhaps with a MoBo that supports it, the PCIe3 may improve things slightly...

I don't know FSX, but this must be an awesome GPU for X-Plane... Is this the first PCI Express 3 graphic card ?http://developer.x-p...g-about-anyway/http://developer.x-p...ame-rates-pt-1/

People here are only thinking about FSX, but also think about the future, future flight sim platforms and such.

The cards are hit or miss at all retailers but as of 4:55 mountain EVGA are in stock at NewEgg. I spoke with NE regarding a large laptop order and the operator stated NE are not sending auto-notifications for the 680 until their stock gets large enough.You have to go to the GTX680 page and keep hitting refresh to see when the new cards are in stock.I am truly amazed how fast this card has sold out.
