Ebay Finds: The Rare 5-Fan "Super Overclocked" Graphics Card
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 сен 2018
- We've spoken about the unique 5 fan GTX 680 in the past, but thanks to the power of second hand auction sites I was able to track down one of these now pretty rare behemoths. This is Gigabyte's Super Overclock 680 and back in 2012 it was the most expensive, and most powerful Kepler GPU on the market.
I paid a pretty reasonable sum for this one, but does it work and just how loud is it?
Specs:
Ryzen 5 1600
8GB DDR4
GTX 680 Super Overclock 2GB
Tested Games:
Rainbow Six Siege
Assassin's Creed Origins
The Crew 2
Overwatch
Player Unknown's Battlegrounds
The Witcher 3
Fortnite
Wolfenstein 2
Thanks for watching :)

Yep 😂
actually yes, lol.

My friend used to run two of these in SLI, apparently that configuration performed really well for a long time and he didn't need to upgrade the graphics until last year when he grabbed a GTX 1080.
@hypersoop13Lol
How to make your room sounds like a datacenter
Thats not a GTX 480.
And hot as a sauna too I'm sure
Just imagine 2 of these in SLI on max fan speed then

@i i Ever since RGB came for the computer parts in 2015, I called it bullshit. First it started in 2014 with Corsair's RGB keyboard and that was understandable. I still think RGB is an excuse to make prices higher.
@@TinkleAssify it looks pretty but costs more pick your poison
Tinkle Ass same here. I think the RGB looks dumb. It’s like when underglow was popular in car culture. It looked cool for a time, but quickly died off because people decided that their cars shouldn’t look like Christmas trees
I'm used to that sound. I live my life next to servers.

This GPU looks like something Germany created back in WWII...
actually nope he played wolfenstein
which makes the fact it cant run Wolfenstein 2 well sorta of funny
but you can't play wolfenstein as a nazi
u didnt got joke i guess then

Plastic black? in 1940?
Germans did the nice white alien shaped computer, beige colors are the german design made it to all systems!
All PC's did a German design in the 1970 to 1990! Siemens did that because it was better for Humans to work on, Germans did build the original computer on von neumann, Siemens white beige design in 1935!
Read more, cry less!
I'm pretty sure I almost bought this exact card on E-bay except I decided that 70+GBP for a 680 is just way too much.
I actually owned this card in my last PC rig, it's not as loud as some people actually think and for when it was released, it was quite capable of course.
well funnily enough he seems to run better pubg than my OC gtx 960 4gb, very wierd.
960 is still slower than a 680.
@@harisonpunian3689 huh, I am actually surprised. Didn't believe that statement but Userbenchmark totally agrees. The 680 should be 10% faster. Interesting. The 1060 is a solid 56% faster though. Didn't know about that jump honestly!
Good boy points?
Hmm yea, probably the best card you can get...
PROBABLY
probably I can't get it, guess I ll stay with my 610m for few more years
@@kubistonek can't get ANY gpu as it is lmao
its 150$ in my place
if you want to be crazy, you could always slap the cooler on another card
Would probably tear the mounts off the board
don't worry, there's a blackplate
im worried about PCIe slot, shaggy heavy card

@@Nanorisk I once used a licorice branch to stop my cpu fan from making vibration noise :)
Lmao if the side panel doesn't have holes for airflow, this thing is gonna get very toasty. I love these wacky video card videos, please keep them coming!
Can you bench mark the msi gt 630 with a pentium 820
It was actually a decent cooler. But the size and noise was appauling. On avg it had 10-15 degrees lower than competition
but I think all common vertical mounting kits are dual slot designs. this tripple slot card wouldn't fit.
This card would probably do well in the cases that were more common upon its release, many cases back then had fan slots on the side panel for extra airflow
McG Tech
side panel holes, card needs a modern PC, not some 1995 Gateway 2000 case, not that old.
GTX 680 was just the card gamers needed back them, weird fans only, not wacky.
9:34 all fans at full blast.
Automatic subtitles: [Applause]
youtube servers were obviously excited about that....
Blows my mind this only had 2gbs of Vram. Some of the FTW versions had 4gbs, Even AMD had a bit more vram in their stuff.
Best GPU to vertically mount :)
Do thunderbolt 3 build on it! ultra thin laptop 2015
U cant mount it vertically it takes 3 slots
@@Acem8887 it depends if your a mad lad you can do it

Well here I am, James, despite your directions
msi only allow 75% fan speed on this card =/ thers 1 softare form gigabyte allows 100%
You're one of VERY few tech youtubers I see benchmark overwatch against players and not bots - I respect that. Really enjoy the videos - keep up the good work!
Still only level 10.
Why should you respect that? Bots is the way to do it if you want consistent results and valid comparisons between cards.
Really... Really do Appreciate this sort of videos mate. Awesome Work.
I always love your videos mate, your ideas are very different from the rest of the people but in a good way obviously and that's what makes me like them so much. Keep it up :) Greetings from Argentina, cheers!
Take off the cooler and put it on a gtx 1080 or ti
hmmm better a 1030 dude xD
with fans like that it worth a try for a 1080
TheFilmMixer101
Still need a 1080Ti now, you can better go for the Hybrid coolers, water and air combination models.
Don't think it would fit.
Stuff like the actual GPU die, the memory chips, VRMS etc are on completely different positions
not sure but i think that, that cooler is inefficient, the new coolers on modern GPU's are much more efficient and in turn much better for cooling than that thing is, regardless of it's size, especially liquid cooled gpus (with a small radiator still being smaller) making that old truck radiator quite pointless
Beautiful piece of tech! Thanks for showcasing it :)

Saw this on your Reddit post, I believe. Cool video, and great card!
In awe at the size of this lad. A🅱️SOLUTE UNIT
Thanks for the video. I almost picked this card up back then but came to my senses when I remembered that little fans make a crap ton of noise. Instead I grabbed the ASUS GTX 680 DirectCU II O.C. and it's currently on display on top of my desk until I build this older PC using the Q9650 and ASUS P5Q-PRO. Sure there will be a bottle neck but I will be able to use the card and that's what I'm looking forward to.
Could u create video to make a sense ?
Don't sell or give this card away. Keep it in your personal collection.
PC parts not rare anymore unless its limited production which this card is not.
You can't find this card easily though.
its not easy to find
@@jaggsta uhm there are more then enough rare pc parts
so just let it sit gather dust instead of someone using it?
Actually one of my dream GPU! Love the looks of it. Imagine that beast with a bunch of Noctuas installed. 😍
Brilliant, keep up the good work.... Love ya videos.
I am so glad you got hold of one of these beasts. Great to see!
the card is from an era of side panel vents so would blow straight out the case
good point, probably worked like a dream in those cases
the old ones with fans on the side as well would be even better
As long as you remember not to make it an intake fan...
My 2 year old case has side panel vents.
sides are intakes and I still uses it with 6fans 2-front back , 2in sides and 2 in top
9:30 the subtitle translates "applause" lol
omg you're right lmao
Thanks for properly editing the audio levels to be even. It made it actually sound not that bad. My EVGA 2070 XP sounds louder in person. I set my fan curve to be aggressive though as that thing gets hot. (Got it before the pandemic / shortage... still $700 CAD new)
Daddy has uploaded, may chips forever fall toward Daves godly beak...
*moans*
I remember seeing this card for sale at a store after the 7-series launched, priced between the 760 and 770. Was going to buy it, but unfortunately went for a 760 instead :/
Becau u r poor
@@Djanbari atleast he can spell and put a sentence together. Most of you people have daddy buying you stuff or are on welfare
Loved this video, I would like to see just how cool this thing could go if you liquid metal'd that seeing as the cooler contact plate looks to be pure copper
great and enjoyable videos....keep it up... love them
You should have benched against a standard 680 and ramped up the overclock with fans maxed out
So now you have two cards that "you cant buy" ? :D
I have one as well. Took me 2,5 days to buy a 780ti Lightning. But I was lucky because only one dude I reached was down to sell it
And I pretty much know the location of 10 of the 12 now
3 I guess, one is the asus whatever gpu so big, it's gonna break the pcie slot.
I wish there was a way to buy that wireless GTX 460.
he said you couldn't buy one, he didn't say anything about him! :D
nice video to see tech I'd never known existed
effing awesome!!! Great Review !!!
I legit thought its a tank by the first look at the thumbnail
me too bro XD
Autist
Me too haha
I just got an 1050 ti.... i upgraded from a gt 610....
FEELS SUPER GOOOD
Nice! But you could've better gotten a gtx 1060 3gb for a way better performance
i know but it woud eat more power AND it woud be more expensive ( 70 $ more...)
im pairing it with a q9400 *YES 775 soket* it still bottlenecks my 1050 ti but i like how it is for now...
Also in maybe 1-2 years i woud get a i3-i5
@@andreiloghin2157 775 is still pretty good, you also got those xeons going for you
that probably feels like a huge relief. My biggest past jumps were from a radeon 5670 to a 570, and then from a gtx 660 to a godly(at the time) gtx 980 sc
Congrats on the upgrade!!
Good job sneaking a little absolute unit joke in. Very proud
pops back up in my recommended after all this time - still going strong on stock settings in my parents PC.. haha
This thing still overclocks like a boss. better then my new 2000 series stock to stock thats for sure.
It's like installing a drone into your pci-e slot, lmao!
That is how loud my PC is everytime I turn it on...I can even hear it when I go downstairs
Same to me
Dust mb?
@@LPgmxDan it's brand new. Completely clean.
@@idonotknowwhyyoutubeletsyo5893 After 2 years he returns!
Well...at least it was new back then. Now i have a new PC again and it is even louder.
make holes in the sidepanel exactly where the 4 fans are, make it like a duct, then the card always gets cold air from outside the case, that's amazing.
i remember back in the day (2012) nerdcubed had two of these in his pc i think every video he did sounded like there was a 747 in the background this vid just reminded me😂
i had one like this, but it was an HD 7970. wanted to sell it to you, but you didn't answer :P
Sell it to me. Name youre price.
Do you still have it for sale ?
too late, I sold it couple of months ago for around 500 PLN (120€/105£)
it was hanging on ebay for 2 weeks and nobody bid really. sold it on polish auction site.

lucas rem The irony of someone calling me 'low IQ' and then proceeding to nothing but meaningless moronic ad hominems including jabs at the UK.... despite the fact I don't live in the UK. Your comment was incoherent, broken pigeon English and that is obvious to anyone trying to decipher your nonsense. Your response wasn't much better.
Perhaps think before you respond to people so you don't make yourself look so.... stupid.
I'm glad you added rainbow six siege to the benchmarks thanks
I bought one of these for Borderlands 2 when it came out. It sounded cool at first but then got a bit annoying by the fan noise. But it was a unique beast that I loved.
This is overkill, the only card that needs five fans is the GTX 480
The power draw on older cards is absurd, with that kind of power it makes a considerable amount of heat. GPU manufacturing is getting a lot better, just look at the power draw of the 10 series cards. Power efficiency makes a difference.
Jose Cervantes
Actually the old cards were a fuck ton more power efficient then the new cards today lulwhat?
a GTX 680 only consumed like a max of like..275-300w total system power consumption.
a GTX 1060/RX 580 also consumes around 275-300w total system power consumption.
More power efficient my ass.
The only thing we've managed to do is increase performance with the same amount of power being used. Being power efficient would mean we'd be going down in power usage with better performance.
Take a GTX 1070Ti for example, that can consume as much as 400w and a 1080Ti can go all the way to 500w. Yet just a couple of years ago, the top of the line cards were only consuming in the range of 200-300w and we thought that was way to much...lol if only they knew how it is today.
Nighterlev
My ASUS GTX 680 never did any heating issues, overkill? i never overclocked it!
Watt is heat, more APM + Volt ...????
@@Nighterlev you drunk? The GTX 1060 only draws 120W...
+lucas rem
Wattage isn't heat. That's TDP. TDP = how much watts are converted into heat.
Watts = how much power the card uses.
Cool Card and Video - Thanks - Also First 65 or Older
Another good video with some moments of great writing that really struck my sense of humor 😂
Edit* forgot to say "Wow" in regards to the gpu... Good find!
My cousin has 2 of these beasts in SLI! it's so freaking loud, that after a while, the vibrations from the fans caused the support bracket to unscrew!!
In DirectX12 and Vulkan, exceeding VRAM budget is fundamentally quite painful! Well technically it's application-dependent since applications could potentially take this into account better, but they won't, because that's too much work to get right. Not the case in DirectX9/10/11/OpenGL at all, where the texture storage is driver/system-managed and the textures are generally RAM-backed, so you can get partial swapping of the per-frame texture pool without readbacks.
Yup, because DX12 and Vulkan require game engine developers to take over a large part of what used to be the graphics driver developer's work, proper support for both older and newer cards is not automatically guaranteed anymore. And how games react to unsupported graphics cards will vary much more from game to game, and generally be a lot less predictable.
Siana Gearz
You meant the DX12 support on gen 6 Geforce products, cash is handled in many ways by Cuda, many ways to do multiple frames and share cash over frames.
Most titles are not that advanced, PS4 levels, able to release it on all!
All you did needed was some GTX 1080 level card! Now, are you getting that RTX now?
you should get an air compressor, works wonders on removing stubborn dust and grime
Edward Kostka can be dangerous without proper attachments due to water condensation
and you still are letting your fans spin with air force. cmon man how many times i gotta come in here and comment.
take a popsicle stick or toothpick or anything really, wedge in the blades so they dont spin, then you can air hose to your hearts content.
electricity causes motion, motion causes electricity. Always hold fans in place or they can blow stuff.
And I would disassemble that monster for the thorough cleaning.
I use the phon
@@armando1is1great That can also happen with canned air though
This card sounds like a data center, not just one server but a whole data center; those fans are nuts.
WOW the nostalgia i had two of those in SLI on my FX 9590 back in 2015. that was my most expensive PC ive ever owned it would run todays triple A titles with ease. i would trade my 12900KS 3090Ti system for that old PC. once again thanks again for yet another BLAST from the past RG

Great cooling design, for stacking side by side in SLI
-Buys video card with extreme air cooler on it.
-Removes air cooler.
-Replaces with water cooling block.
Noise problem solved & made extreme air cooler redundant.
But will it run MS paint
Will it run Crysis?
Nice Video like each time! I really love your accent! So btw can you give me an answer? For this brutal Fan design with this really phat heatsink you just get to the 70 degree mark ? I was just wondering.

We have one of these cards, we used it in a movie computer, then set it aside as a backup card just in case me or my dads card broke. We have it listed on ebay as of the 15th of may for auction. Sad to see a card that I used for years go.

I just removed this card from my rig, a month ago and it’s staying in my closet unused.
Not that I emailed you about one I found for you long before the video. Thx for the great reply!

But can it Run Minecraft? :O
Yes No
you mean crysis
both?
r/woosh
nah , it can't run even mine sweeper
But can it run Crysis?
yes it can it ran like 40fps on ultra frames on ultra i owned a 680 oc back when it was cool to have a house brick for a gpu
Nice! I'd buy this beast any day, looks good, has good performance, and I wouldn't mind the high fan speed/noise as I prefer components to run cooler.
Maybe you could have tried a lower resolution with Wolfenstein though, to get under the VRAM limit?
Also, would this run F1 2015? :)

Loved the video. I have a regular Zotac GTX 680 2gb ddr5 and still runs everything in 2020. I play in HD resolution (720p) and I can honestly set almost eeverything to maximum settings in any game (everything except for textures, but wouldn't change anything in my resolution anyway). The regular GTX 680 is very noisy too
I had gtx 680 Jetstream, but i gave it away to friend. It was noisy though :D
When that card came out there were lots of cases with "open" sides usually with 4-6 case fans on the side panel. I had a cooler master case with 4 120mm side fans
But why you didn't overclock it?
I mean.. It is named super oc 😂
it is factory overclocked.

I never was so early. (such achievement, ikr)
that's an interesting card. I almost want to get some fans like those just to play with on mock up builds lol.
This cooler design has a surprising perk: you can put multiple of them next to each other without risk choking any of them of airflow. I kind of wish that there would be a more modern version of this kind of impossible-to-choke cooler.
