An Overclock.net forum member by the name of “ironman86” has managed to get his hands on a retail Gigabyte GeForce (or rather, GEFORCE) GTX 680 graphics card based on the Kepler GK104 core. The card, model GV-N680D5-2GD-B, sticks to Nvidia’s reference design from PCB to cooler, with only the custom Gigabyte sticker (note the GTX 690 seen on the card is actually GTX 680 with a piece of protective film obscuring the lower left of the 8 ) differentiating this card from standard Nvidia cards.

As seen on the Nvidia reference boards, this card comes equipped with two stacked and stepped 6-pin PCI-Express power connectors. While the launch is scheduled for 22 March, ironman86 will try to test the card on 21 March and leak results ahead of schedule. Source — Overclock.net Forums
