Thats a pretty beefy card mang. It has more memory than my media box currently has. And much faster too

p.s. that youtube channel is pretty good. I've been watching a crap load of their back log of videos. can be funny, and interesting. nice pc tech stuff.

Man, I know that feel, going from a GeForce 470 to a 680 was like... huge

Yeah. The fact that its not only faster, but may actually keep the machine cooler a majority of the time, its a win win. I was having some slight overheating issues last summer, mostly because of the cpu fan being dead, but even with the fan it can get a bit warm in the summer. So the box should be a lot more stable now. Or at least thats my hope. (not that it was horribly unstable... just I worry about it durring the summer , its a mATX media case, so the airflow isn't the best).

I just bought an MSI GTX 680 with 4GB of DDR5

After Christmas I'll update my board and RAM I think

Uninstalling drivers as I speak

Nice! Let me know how the MSI works out for ya, never owned any of their products.

My 640 is a MSI, and its working well so far. I've had a couple MSI motherboards, they were pretty good.

Overall I am very impressed, it was simple to install and runs very very well. Drivers installed very easily, no fuss no muss. (also slightly cheaper than the EVGA version)

All the games I bench marked it with showed a significant increase in performance, heat change is minimal from my previous card. Power consumption hasn't changed which surprises me actually. I was doubtful of factory overclocking but so far I am impressed.

The increase in framerate on newer games like Hitman is noticeable and has improved my score considerably.

LOL Believe me, I thought about it but Christmas is coming so better save some cash for presents

I do need to upgrade my motherboard and CPU, get something that actually supports PCIe 3

Bah, just get a PCIe3 to PCI adapter and slot it in there. It'll work fine.
