    performance wise, id says its about twice as fast as a 580m, but people have been overclocking it like so when overclocked the 680m is almost 3 times faster than the 580m. ask meaker he runs an extremely aggressive overclock on his.

    You can get the card for around $800 or so, but yeah, ask any reseller or google it.
