![]() ![]() This is due to NVIDIA’s port configuration, which uses a stacked DVI connector that consumes what would have normally been part of the exhaust vent on the GTX 580. Looking at the fan itself, compared to the GTX 580 the fan has been moved from the center of the card to the top of the card. NVIDIA tells us that this shouldn’t significantly impact the cooling of the card, particularly since it has a lower TDP in the first place, but when used in SLI it will remove some of the breathing room than the GTX 580 enjoyed. Notably, due to a combination of card length and the fan position, the “wedge” around the fan has been done away with. A radial fan at the rear of the card sucks in air and pushes it towards the front of the card. Like the past GTX x80 cards, the basic design of the GTX 680 is that of a blower. All things considered the design of the GeForce GTX 680 is not a radical departure from the GTX 580, but at the same time it also has some distinct differences owing to the fact that its TDP is some 50W lower than GTX 580.
