The GeForce GTX 680 Palit Jetstream 2GB Edition is a very low performing piece of gaming hardware and can probably only run indie system requirements.

GeForce GTX 680 Palit Jetstream 2GB Edition is capable of DirectX 11 gaming requirements.

We take a look at game performance achieved on this graphics card when running 2021 popular games. This short GeForce GTX 680 Palit Jetstream 2GB Edition game hardware review looks at the graphics card frame rate performance on Ultra graphics settings at 1080p, 1440p and 4K screen resolutions. 245 games can be played by this graphics card of the 1000 most demanding games being played by PC gamers today.

The 1080p FPS on Ultra for the GeForce GTX 680 Palit Jetstream 2GB Edition shows us that Grand Theft Auto VI is predicted to get a weak result of 0 FPS, and then we are seeing Forza Horizon 5 predicted to return a weak 2 FPS while another game on our list is the Days Gone which is getting 24 frames per second at Ultra 1080p.

With PC gamers looking for larger screen sizes like 1440p we tested the GeForce GTX 680 Palit Jetstream 2GB Edition by researching Forza Horizon 5 leading us to predict a weak performance. Its FPS predictions for the graphics settings are as follows - L: 3FPS, M: 2FPS, H: 2FPS, U: 1FPS. Another popular game we tested with this card was Days Gone and that was weak. This graphics card delivered 18 FPS at Ultra 1440p. Another popular title was Grand Theft Auto VI which is predicted to get weak results with a 0FPS on Ultra 1440p. Getting popular modern games to run at 1440p on the GeForce GTX 680 Palit Jetstream 2GB Edition is not going to be able to maintain a playable game at this resolution.
