Ebay Finds: The Rare 5-Fan "Super Overclocked" Graphics Card

We've spoken about the unique 5 fan GTX 680 in the past, but thanks to the power of second hand auction sites I was able to track down one of these now pretty rare behemoths. This is Gigabyte's Super Overclock 680 and back in 2012 it was the most expensive, and most powerful Kepler GPU on the market.
I paid a pretty reasonable sum for this one, but does it work and just how loud is it?
Specs:
Ryzen 5 1600
8GB DDR4
GTX 680 Super Overclock 2GB
Tested Games:
Rainbow Six Siege
Assassin's Creed Origins
The Crew 2
Overwatch
Player Unknown's Battlegrounds
The Witcher 3
Fortnite
Wolfenstein 2
Thanks for watching :)

[@jocerv43]

The power draw on older cards is absurd, with that kind of power it makes a considerable amount of heat. GPU manufacturing is getting a lot better, just look at the power draw of the 10 series cards. Power efficiency makes a difference.

[@Nighterlev]

Jose Cervantes Actually the old cards were a fuck ton more power efficient then the new cards today lulwhat? a GTX 680 only consumed like a max of like..275-300w total system power consumption. a GTX 1060/RX 580 also consumes around 275-300w total system power consumption. More power efficient my ass. The only thing we've managed to do is increase performance with the same amount of power being used. Being power efficient would mean we'd be going down in power usage with better performance. Take a GTX 1070Ti for example, that can consume as much as 400w and a 1080Ti can go all the way to 500w. Yet just a couple of years ago, the top of the line cards were only consuming in the range of 200-300w and we thought that was way to much...lol if only they knew how it is today.

[@lucasrem]

Nighterlev My ASUS GTX 680 never did any heating issues, overkill? i never overclocked it! Watt is heat, more APM + Volt ...????

[@jocerv43]

@@Nighterlev you drunk? The GTX 1060 only draws 120W...

[@SianaGearz]

In DirectX12 and Vulkan, exceeding VRAM budget is fundamentally quite painful! Well technically it's application-dependent since applications could potentially take this into account better, but they won't, because that's too much work to get right. Not the case in DirectX9/10/11/OpenGL at all, where the texture storage is driver/system-managed and the textures are generally RAM-backed, so you can get partial swapping of the per-frame texture pool without readbacks.

[@Astfgl]

Yup, because DX12 and Vulkan require game engine developers to take over a large part of what used to be the graphics driver developer's work, proper support for both older and newer cards is not automatically guaranteed anymore. And how games react to unsupported graphics cards will vary much more from game to game, and generally be a lot less predictable.

[@lucasrem]

Siana Gearz You meant the DX12 support on gen 6 Geforce products, cash is handled in many ways by Cuda, many ways to do multiple frames and share cash over frames. Most titles are not that advanced, PS4 levels, able to release it on all! All you did needed was some GTX 1080 level card! Now, are you getting that RTX now?

[@Spook_Boi]

dont just warn the neighbors warn the block jesus

[@playalle1]

Not that I emailed you about one I found for you long before the video. Thx for the great reply!

[@pixels303at-odysee9]

Great cooling design, for stacking side by side in SLI

[@teni2898]

But can it run Crysis?

[@IvanKupkovic]

yes it can it ran like 40fps on ultra frames on ultra i owned a 680 oc back when it was cool to have a house brick for a gpu

[@dabigbadwolf5081]

But why you didn't overclock it? I mean.. It is named super oc 😂

[@animeshhazarika669]

it is factory overclocked.

[@budgetking2591]

make holes in the sidepanel exactly where the 4 fans are, make it like a duct, then the card always gets cold air from outside the case, that's amazing.

[@darknessnightfall]

I had this card..it was great!. Bit noisy but fastttttttttt. It was actually cheap because it was some kind of test series, different from regular cooling. It came with some foam cushion thingy, you had to stick on an neighbour slot..so the weight could rest on it.

Only 2gb ram and the card is that big, This gpu is like a beeper from the 90s.

[@resneptacle]

What does VRAM have to do with card size and what is a beeper in this context?

[@theghost7277]

@J Thorsson why did you reply to this guy hes like 10 years old and doesnt have a clue about how technology has progressed

[@theghost7277]

@J Thorsson very true

2:12 this is why I'm subsribed to your channel. And you never make clickbait titles. You're the best tech youtuber I've come acros. Keep it up you're great!

[@grummle7545]

should I buy it for 100$?

[@joekamouh6206]

No

[@claritoresdiano1021]

No ; for daily use. Yes ; if you want install this cooler to another GPU.

[@claritoresdiano1021]

@facelessninetytwo yu're right. more Core, TMU and ROPs much better 680 but increase TDP to 195 W cause fabrication process build on 28nm.

[@philipottey7723]

$65 tops because a 780 or a 980 is a better deal. I'd rather wait until a 1070, vega, rx 580, or a 1080 drops below $200

[@grummle7545]

@@philipottey7723 is an rx 580 8gb worth 200$? Found one online in really good condition... Should I buy IT?

[@jameslarson7452]

Nice find. I'm a sucker for good hardware too. Without a dB meter, it would help to keep talking over the noise cuts to show the relative gain over normal speaking voice.

[@jubeikibagami1601]

So cool! My first serious graphics card was an 8800 GTS 512. This card came out the next gen and I couldn't afford it :( but that old 8800 played Crysis all day long at high res! Team Green FTW.

I have modified my nVidia RTX 3080 to have 40mm fans on the top. So looks similar to this. I used noctua fans though, so it isn't loud.
