The GTX 680 DirectCU will be available in two versions: the GTX680-DC202GD5 benefit from a slight factory overclock: 1019 MHz – 1084 MHz Turbo boost. The GTX680-DC2T-2GD5 in turn will provide more convincing frequencies already out of cardboard: 1137 MHz – 1201 MHz with Turbo Boost.

Frequencies aside, these two GTX 680 share the same technical characteristics as follows: 2GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, two DVI output HDMI and DisplayPort.
