the gtx 680 be undoubtedly a very powerful GPU - arguably the single most powerful GPU at the time of write this review . I be go to comment more about my experience with galaxy instead of the gtx 680 as there seem to be lot of information about the 680 but not as much about Galaxy . I be in desperate need of a new card , and I actually pass over a opportunity or two where the only brand that Amazon have in stock be Galaxy because in the past I would also go with the more well respect but slightly higher price GPU manufacturer . since I need a new card badly , one of those time when amazon have only galaxy in stock , I decide to take the plunge , and I be actually very glad that I do . the card work as advertise and Galaxy have be a outstanding company to work with up to date . it seem like they give you two year default warranty with the card and three year if you register the card at they website within a month of purchase it . I register my card and find the process to be very quick and easy . it take I five minute at most , and one of the best part be that after have be register with they for over a month , I have yet to receive any adverting email from they . in contrast , some of the more well-known GPU manufacturer have be send I advertisement on a near weekly basis after register with they . when buy a computer component there be always a chance that it will be defective no matter which company make it . galaxy seem to be a very underrated company at least in the United States . however , in my book they be very capable of make good quality gpus , and I would personally buy from they again even if Amazon be to have multiple manufacturer of the GPU in stock .
