Review: ASUS GeForce GTX 680 DirectCU II TOP

Benchmark: Noise

Credit where credit's due. Considering the card runs at overclocked speeds, ASUS has done well to keep both temperature and noise level down to a minimum. The card's some way from silent under load - you probably wouldn't want it in your living room's HTPC - but as far as gaming solutions are concerned, it's one of the quietest high-end graphics cards on the market. You can barely hear it past all the gunfire and what have you.
