KFA2 Geforce GTX680 EX OC review

Rating: 9.5.

A few weeks ago we reviewed the Nvidia GTX680 and today we are following up with a look at one of the high end, custom cooled, overclocked cards from Nvidia partner KFA2. We have looked at several KFA2 cards in the past and have been impressed with their hardware so far. Is the new GTX680 EX OC worth the high asking price?

KFA2 are a relatively new player to the scene however they are already getting a reputation in enthusiast circles, especially in regards to their heavily modified cooling implementations.

The KFA2 Geforce GTX 680 EX OC not only ships with a custom designed cooling solution, but the company have boosted the core clock speed to 1110mhz, which should translate to decent frame rate gains when compared against the reference card.
