AMD challenged by Nvidia after the release of GTX 680

Nvidia GTX 680


It’s a never-ending fight between Nvidia and AMD but currently, it can be easily seen Nvidia’s having an edge in it. When ATI Radeon HD 7970 was released it was the most powerful Graphics card in the world but soon after some months Nvidia has fought for the title and built Nvidia GTX 680 which is approximately 30% faster than Ati Radeon HD7970.

Nvidia GTX 680 is based on Kepler’s architecture powered with 1,006 MHz that comes equipped with DirectX 11 support, adaptive v-sync, and a new GPU boost feature. This boost feature will optimize overall clock speed which will give a real-time performance in Computer Games (visible).
