A new graphics card has been announced by the EVGA company that we can consider without any qualms as the largest Nvidia graphics manufacturing partner. This new graphics card that is targeted specifically for the Mac Pro It has the name of GeForce GTX 680 Mac Edition.
A few days ago, specifically on March 20, the Sapphire company officially put the announced one on sale Radeon HD 7950 Mac Edition with a US price of $ 479,99 in United States. So Nvidia is not going to be left behind and just unveiled its GTX 680 Mac Edition for those who want to increase the graphics performance of their Mac Pro.
This is good for us, the final consumer, in this way we can always choose several options and creates competition between the companies that are very good for us, then with 'this variety' we choose the one that suits us or we want. In this case the design of the new exclusive Nvidia for Mac it is not very differentiated in terms of colors or personalized in its design as if it happens with the Sapphire. The Nvidia is very similar in terms of design to the current versions of the GTX 680 that we currently have on the market.
This impressive graphics card from EVGA will have in its guts the GK110 GPU based on the Kepler graphics architecture and therefore it is on par with its sisters not exclusively intended for Mac (but this one does work for Mac, that the others do not) 1536 CUDA Cores at a frequency of 1006 MHz, with 2 GB of DDR5 memory and 256 bits of memory. Unlike what happened with its competitor, which has some advantage in terms of time in the market, the GTX 680 Mac Edition it goes fast and is now available for purchase.
The price in the United States is 599 dollars.
