When running under full load, temperatures went up to just 68вЊ with fans running at 1960rpm, still didnвЂ™t sound more than a low hum. The two fans were running at 1380rpm, barely making a noise. When idling the Zotac GeForce GTX 680 AMP! edition was down to just 30вЊ as the GPU was running at just 324MHz, while the memory was at 648MHz effective. Given the huge heatsink we were expecting the temperatures to be low and the card to be cool, and we werenвЂ™t disappointed at all. Default factory speeds are 1176MHz core clock and 6608MHz effective memory clock speeds. The hexagonal cuts for the fan further add to the bizarre design. This metal cover itself stretches beyond, making the GeForce GTX 680 AMP! editon into a 3-slot card. Stretching out over the aluminum fins is a metal cover, on top of which are the two 80mm fans. We guess the Zotac engineers found this to be the easiest way to dissipate heat, unorthodox as it is. Popping out of it are four rather long heatpipes that stretch out an inch over the width of the PCB. The actual aluminum fins block on top of the PCB is slightly thinner than the overall width of the board. But if it keeps the card running cool and can take the higher clocks, who cares? And a closer look will reveal some rather interesting characteristics.

Now for the video card itself, the most obvious thing is the huge heatsink on top of the PCB, which does look strangely disproportioned. Next up there are two molex to 6-pin power cables and one DVI to analog adapter. These games will not in the least push these GeForce GTX 680, but they do look gorgeous. First off, we have three AssassinвЂ™s Creed games. LetвЂ™s take it from the top, and have a look at the goodies packed inside with the GeForce GTX 680 AMP! edition.
