Zotac GTX680 AMP! Edition Review
3D Mark

3D Mark Vantage
Starting off with good old 3D Mark, we find the AMP! right on the money out of the gate. Performance is very close to our self-overclocked GTX680, and the little extra overclock we did manage to squeeze out of it gives a suitably small improvement. But a hassle free 40000 P score, and the X score being 500 points above the reference card, certainly have us off to a good start.
3D Mark 11
The result is much the same in 3D Mark 11 with the P score being about the same as our reference card when overclocked, and the biggest boost coming once we move in to the Extreme preset, which is the level of resolution and image quality people will actually use.

Great review! Has me wondering if/when we might see custom 680s that use different VRMs and are not voltage locked so that we would be able to see what a 680 would do with overvolting+overclocking (MSI Lightning 680 anyone?)
Love the look of this Zotac card... one of the sexier looking GPUs I've seen so far this round.

Nice review. I would love to have one of these!!
Great review as always Tom! Looking forward to seeing more aftermarket coolers on the 680, and also the 670 is looking interesting! 
there is no 2222 shader clock with GTX680. lies!!! there is only the core clock.
I can haz 680 plz?
I like the heat pipes and the orange fans on this card, performance ain't to shabby either.

We liked the AMP cooler. Zotac should have used it on the 580 tbh.
Still can't wrap my head around some of the stock, stock oc, AMD and NVIDIA, amp, amp oc results tho. The comparisons just don't make sense.

NOICE!
Cheery Oh Tom.

Visually, not my cup of tea. The shroud does not really cover that much and the colour combo looks weird.
Maybe with silver heatpipes... Looks a lot like a ghetto mod to me. But the temps are nice

Just read a review on another site and they said it's going to be about £300, which is confusing, but true. Thats around £100 cheaper than the 680 yet it's a faster card
£320 from Aria
