Galaxy GeForce GTX 680 GC

[DrexelDragon]

Does anyone have experience with this card? It looks really cool and is overclocked a pretty decent amount. I only found one review on it and they did it in SLI. And how reliable are Galaxy cards? I've only ever had EVGA. Thanks.

I like EVGA never had an issue with any EVGA card and I own over a dozen of them. Galaxy is probably just fine but I would make sure of there warranty policy before I bought one.

You should get the Galaxy SOC Hall Of Fame Card.

It has unlocked core and Vram voltage..

And most of the time will do 1300mhz out of the box.

Galaxy is as reliable as anything else as a brand. Nothing special IMO, but that doesn't mean they're bad either. I think sometimes companies like Asus push too hard in their binning process (recent issues with TOP cards crashing and requiring a BIOS with reduced clocks to fix comes to mind).

They also don't have a ton of various cards in their lineup which streamlines things more for the consumer. EVGA puts out way too many variants IMO. You have a basic reference, a SC, FTW, FTW LE, Classified, Signature etc. It's a lot to look at because every one is clocked differently.

Not to mention that certian GPU's have differennt core varients, 560, 560Ti, 560Ti/448, 560 SE, 460, 460v2...etc.

That card looks sick. And yeah, my head was spinning when I was trying to pick out an EVGA card lol

Selective binning is a good thing great thing really LOL

I've used one briefly and its a pretty good card. Be aware that if you want to push overclocks (and you will want manual fan for high overclocks) that the fan can get loud - louder than competing stuff from asus / msi (DC2 , TF4), the fan is shockingly loud when its higher than 60%. So if that matters to you i'd get something else.

But if you're just doing stock settings you should be good to go.
