The PG-13 pic based on the wildly popular young adult novel about a future where teenagers are forced by a totalitarian government to compete in a fight to the death generated the third biggest opening weekend of all-time and the best ever for both a non-sequel and for a non-summer release. The only two bigger debuts were last summer's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 with $169.2M including 3D surcharges and 2008's The Dark Knight with $158.4M.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 Kepler 2 GB

Introduction

How time flies. The last time we had a bleeding-edge graphics card from NVIDIA to try by fire, was exactly a year ago, with the launch of GeForce GTX 590. Quite a bit changed since then. Rival AMD is just about done with the launch of its Radeon HD 7000 series "Southern Islands" GPU family, and NVIDIA's answer to that felt wanted, for the past 3 months or so. Well, it’s finally here – our GeForce GTX 680 Kepler review.

Both evolutionary and revolutionary changes have gone into making the GeForce GTX 680. It's evolutionary in that it's designed to be an upgrade over its immediate predecessor (and not something two generations behind), and revolutionary new features make sure GTX 680 is a worthy upgrade. The evolutionary part of course is that NVIDIA wants to reclaim the title of having the fastest GPU out there; and the revolutionary part is a vibrant feature-set that supposedly contributes to never before seen energy-efficiency levels, to accomplish those steep design goals.
