In the afternoon of March 22, 2012, Mr. Kwai, the General Manager of Zotac (China), answered one of the most concerned questions raised by users of NVIDIA GeForce GTX680....He confidently expressed in the press conference that Zotac will release a non reference GTX680 with frequency reaching an unprecedented 2GHz....by mid April.

I bet Zotac is not going to be the only one to produce such highly factory overclocked version.

Holy maloney!

Even just 1Ghz is considered to be a decent overclock for a GPU... but 2Ghz?

I know factory overclocks are stable, but this sounds pretty intense... the binning will have to be perfect to find wafers that can hit these speeds, while being 100% stable.

On another note... if Zotac could get this thing to 2Ghz, I doubt I'd be able to keep on a clean pair of pants in it's presence, out of sheer head-smashing awesome-sauce-ness.

So..

Like.

What?

People hit 1900MHZ on these with LN2.

Now, you're saying, they're going to sell 2GHZ 680's, out of factory? No need for LN2?

This 'can't be right.

Just no.

That's basically a 100% OC. You have doubled the cards frequency.

AMD is selling "1GhZ" Edition as a selling point.

Will NVIDIA sell 2GHZ Editions?

What? The current world record is 1.9GHz on LN2... how in god's name are they going to pull 2GHz on air? Maybe they were talking about memory clocks?

Typo........has to be 1.2GHz. 2GHz is not going to happen unless they got superconductors up their a.......

I'd go with the 2Ghz VRAM spin on this.

I agree, anyone who thinks a gpu will clock at 2GHz on air is silly to say the least. LN2 is needed for 1.9 for gods sake.

The gigahertz barrier has been broken. Armed with a stunning 1GHz GPU based on the revolutionary GCN Architecture, the AMD GHz Edition is quite simply engineered to reign supreme.
See?
That just...looks so lame by comparison now.
Enough with the hate, will ya. They clearly mean 1.2, 2GHz is not possible on air. Simple logic.

It is not lost in translation as Chinese is my native language.

I have asked a moderator to move this to the Rumor section until I can dig deeper into this news. I am wondering if Mr Kwai's words might be taken out of context by some 'reporter'.

Does anybody even click the sources anymore? They say it will REACH 2GHZ.. not that it will be factory clocked at 2GHZ.

That's not an unreasonable statement to make for a non-reference board considering that, like everybody said, the world record is already 1.9.
