14 DAY TRIAL // Maingear has officially announced that three of its high-end gaming systems will, from now on, offer NVIDIA's latest product as an option when choosing the video card.
That Maingear would add the GeForce GTX 680 to its personal computer product lineup is in no way a shock.
After all, makers of high-end systems always make sure to do this for all worthwhile computer parts.
That includes everything from new motherboards to central processing units, DDR3 RAM (random access memory), coolers and, of course, video controllers.
The GeForce GTX 680 is, without a doubt, the most powerful graphics adapter NVIDIA ever produced. The company itself is adamant about this.
The gaming beasts that will get one or more of them, depending on user preference, are SHIFT, F131, and X-Cube.
Maybe it's just us, but we're pretty sure fewer people than before are going to lunge at multi-GPU SLI configurations.
One reason is that the board, on its own, is already so overpowered that it can easily cope with any game, and probably won't be challenged by any titles for a couple of years or so.
The other, more important reason is that there is no longer a need for more than one card in order to play games in triple-panel 3D Vision Surround mode, since the Kepler can handle not just three, but four monitors at once easily.
Previously, GeForce boards couldn't deliver to more than two monitors at a time, hence the reliance of 3D Vision Surround on SLI. Of course, playing games on three monitors without 3D is perfectly possible as well.
"The Ultimate PC deserves the Ultimate GPU, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 built in our desktops offer the best gaming experience that is the quietest and fastest card we have had in our desktops." says said Wallace Santos, CEO and founder of MAINGEAR.
"This GPU solution offer gamers and PC enthusiasts with a top performing system whether they are looking for a single, dual or 3-way SLI setup."
