    Real job as opposed to Cyanotical's fake job where he launders drug money and buys dual 690's like they're priced for pocket change?

    Why does everyone think I sell drugs or something?, I case your wondering, the 690s came from a deal, I got one 690 in trade for my 590s and bought the second one with money from my last networking setup contract

    Something I'm curious of, are there even physical differences for the GTX 680 4GB from the 2GB version? Or do they require separate and unique watercooling blocks?

    Presumably there are twice as many memory modules

    Highly doubt you'd need a different watercooling block from the 2GB version, should be the same size.

    While this would be the normal assumption, I'm asking for actual response rather than a smartass.

    From what I could tell, EVGA's GTX 680 4GB card uses a custom PCB. Zotac's card does not, instead staying true to the reference design.

    http://www.overclock.net/t/1286046/h...pcbs-are-there

    Does that help at all?

    From what I can find, Zotac's "normal" cards (2GB and 4GB) use the reference PCB, while their "Extreme" card uses a non-reference PCB.

    Because other manufacturers never rework a PCB?

    @ Drunkenvalley; It depends. Since they will use twice as big memory modules rather than twice as many (else it'd be a 512 bit membus, or two would have to share channels), it all depends on the PCB, as always. Same pcb, just more memory? Get the same waterblock.
