GeForce GTX 680 Direct CU II TOP is a Special Edition of the powerful GeForce GTX 680. See the standard version for more information about it.
Compared to the standard version, GeForce GTX 680 Direct CU II TOP features an increase to its core-clock, that went from 1006MHz to 1137MHz. The "Boost Clock" was also increased and can now attain some whopping 1201MHz. A new quiet and more efficient cooling system is also available.

What kind of overclocks are you guys/girls getting with this card? What software are you using to achieve it? Is MSI Afterburner on top for overclocking nivida cards or is it EVGA's precision X got the goods. And what is Asus's own Tweak software like?

well I don't realy know much about nvidia drivers but with AMD you can just OC through the drivers. that's the safest way in my opinion.

I use MSI Afterburner for AMD cards seems to be the best HIS AMD cards tend to be more stable under there own OC software. But i want to know about the nvidia cards.

Yes the Memory speed and everything are better but the memory bandwith and the memory bus are much better on the Radeon 7970. :) and iam suprised that they did not make a 680 Ti? would have made a great card!

yes is not about memory bus , or memory ....is about the chipset and the optimization of the driver .....Nvidia say that drivers 70% maturity for gtx 680 70% and 58% for gtx 680 with aftermarket cooling like this monster ...imagine that when the maximum performance driver will come out:) look at some 3dmark11 bench you see the power of Kepler with just 1% overclock ;)) :)
