    Dual bios is for flashnoobs. It's really easy to recover a card with a wrong bios..

    Ever heard about the IGP? It's not needed either. I tried earlier to voltmod my 680 dc2t with a different revision bios which made it artifacting like crazy on the post but still could boot off my usb while my hdmi cable was connected to the card.

    Well they're always very late with their DC2 editions so just wait I'd say.

    I'd go Windforce GTX 780 to be honest. Looks quite great!

    After going 3 for 3 with burned out nVidia cards... I'll stick to ATi.

    After testing, it works fine on a PCIe 3.0 slot. It just doesn't work on my P8Z68V, which I am replacing soon anyway.

    That's like, plague or cholera!

    Go Windforce. It looks better, is quieter, is cooler and looks cooler! And it cools the memory.

    im kinda sceptical on gigabyte after my multiple mobo adventures .
    well what kind of other cremé de la cremé highest end gpu editions are out there?
    i know there's plenty of good editions of multiple brands but im going for the ultimate one(s) in this case

    Something that amuses me with Gigabyte is that all their divisions are completely independent and don't communicate within each other.
    Motherboard division is not in any way affiliated with GPU manufacturers. For some stupid reason.

    they did stop with using unlocked bioses on any stock cards right? (iirc gigabyte and MSI were the last one with the 6xx first release series ?)
    still what other options are there?
    do note it's very tricky to have acces to certain models/editions of certain cards in the netherlands.

    Because their triple-slot cooler weighs as much as a small car.

    Before my reference MSI GTX 680 I had a DirectCu II HD6970.
    Less than impressed with the fan curve (idle at 10%? AWESOME! Being loud at 30%? Less awesome!), the memory cooling design and the fact that it's not really much cooler for the noise than any competitor -- despite taking up an extra expansionslot.
