    GeForce GTX 680 system requirements

    So I finally have the money for my next big upgrade and was looking at the GTX 680. But before I upgrade I need to know if it will go with my system. I have the following components in my PC at the moment.

    • Asus P7P55D-E motherboard
    • Core-i7 870
    • Asus GTX560
    • Corsair HX750 watts PSU
    • Coolermaster HAF932 case.
    • Any suggestions are welcome.

    Everything looks pretty good in the setup, but I would recommend you get a good PSU at the same time. You might as well get a good discount on your purchase. I mean the present PSU is good but if in the future you decide to SLI you’ll be ready for it beforehand.

    Wrong!! Why should the OP get a PSU at the moment when all he needs is a good GPU. And besides the differences in prices of PSU later on will be much more than the discount he might get with a huge purchase now. The present PSU is totally capable of providing the GPU with enough power to run efficiently.

    I don’t think so. Today’s GPUs are nowhere near the limit of being bottlenecked by pcie v2 bandwidth specification. Easily put the new GTX680 will be able to utilize the entire bandwidth of pcie 2.0. The only thing missing is the motherboard’s support for PCI-E v3 lanes. It might slightly hamper performance in certain scenarios. The rest of the setup is just fine.
