It is basically the reference NVIDIA board with special stickers

With NVIDIA's official release of the first Kepler graphics cards, the floodgates have been opened and all OEMs are revealing their own models.

Micro-Star International is, obviously, one of the Santa Clara, California-based company's partners.

Its GeForce GTX 680 isn't in any way different from the original, with the exception of the brand stickers.

We aren't going to bore you all with another recap of the specs, not when they are perfectly well listed here.

We will say, though, that MSI is a bit better prepared than NVIDIA on the software side, as far as we can tell.

While we could only find Windows Vista and 7 versions of the GTX 680 driver, MSI has the XP versions up for download as well. Get them from the appropriate links below.
