GPU Boost automatically adjusts clocks to achieve the maximum possible clock speed while remaining within a predefined power target. GPU Boost works in the background, dynamically adjusting the GPU's graphics clock speed automatically based on GPU operating conditions. GPU Boost is a combination hardware/software technology that is supported by GeForce GTX 680. With its own dedicated resources for rasterization, shading, texturing, and compute, most of the GPU's core graphics functions are performed inside the graphics chip.Įquipped with 1536 CUDA cores, the GTX 680 also incorporates a GPU Boost technology that automatically maximizes clock speeds to achieve eye-popping levels of performance. The graphics processing chip continues to be the dominant high-level hardware block in Kepler. The Kepler GPUs are composed of many different hardware blocks, each of which performs a specific task. The GeForce GTX 680 is the first to employ NVIDIA's groundbreaking Kepler architecture, a result of 1.8 million man-hours of work.
The GTX 680 sports a 1006 MHz base clock along with 2GB GDDR5 memory controlled by four 64-bit memory controllers. The world had barely gotten accustomed to having face-melting graphical processing sitting within the confines of their CPUs and NVIDIA has once again come along and dropped a big bomb The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680, the new fastest processor in the market. It feels almost like yesterday when NVIDIA announced the 580GTX, a graphic card that could tame the most demanding of games and applications.
