Point of View GTX 680 EXO Debuts

Unlike Sparkle, Point of View actually made some modifications to the GeForce GTX 680 before launching the GTX 680 EXO.

One of the changes is, predictably enough, the cooler: instead of the reference model, we have a more silent and effective Arctic Cooling contraption, a bit thicker than 2 slots. There's even an aluminum backplate, for extra heat dissipation.

That said, spec-wise, the base clock of the GK104 Kepler GPU (1,536 CUDA cores) is 1,110 MHz and the GPU Boost can go as high as 1,176 MHz. As all other GTX 680 cards, or most of them, the POV GTX 680 EXO has 2 GB of GDDR5 VRAM (6 GHz clock), a memory interface of 256 bits, two dual-link DVI pots, one HDMI output and a DisplayPort. The price shouldn't be too much higher than $499 / 499 Euro.
