Hey I'm about to throw my 2GB 680 back in my main render machine, I'm going to run a benchmark before I take out the 3GB 580 I have in there. Some research suggests that the 3 GB 580 is more of a CUDA oriented computing card so the differences may not actually be huge.

I'll report back. Sorry for the deluge of replies gentlemen

Hey todd, have you seen or done any tests on the 680 vs the older GTXs?

It's less than your budget.
