Single slot 680... yoh. Well done Galaxy.
 
Yip, should be able to. At the very very most they'll pull 40A (prob closer to 32A), and you've got 62A on the 12V line, more than enough for everything else

Impressive how little juice this card needs...
 
Well I would love to buy one but the problem I have is that it is a total rip off in South Africa.

I meant 500$ = R3750 @ R7.5 to a $

How do they Get R 6000 for the same card even going to R 10 to a dollar its still R5000

I am all for making a profit but that is just insane I can import it for over R1750 cheaper with shipping.

At R 6000 per card it means we are paying 800$ a card, someone explain that to me ????

*Correct me if I'm wrong*
Generally those online companies you see on the internet like Wootware, don't just import their product from Amazon.com or Newegg, they get their products from a local distributor like Rectron. The guys at the local distributor imports the goods and sell it with their mark-up to the retailers. The retailers then sell the card to the customer with their mark-up added. Thus their price, caters for all the trouble that the distributors have gone through plus the distributor's mark-up and their own mark-up.
 
maybe we should wait for the gtx 670 or so. price will drop in a month or 2
