Everything is terrible with GTX 680 and newest NVIDIA drivers
Ufasoft is only miner that doesn't crash display driver or crash itself around 120MHash overclocked, uses about 100watts additional power from idle
one of the miner's showed 127Mhash, forget which one maybe Phoenix, but all these crash after closing:
GUIMINER with phoenix GUIMINER with OpenCL GUIMINER with CUDA (rpcminer)
Phoenix 1.7.5 program freezes after a few seconds Phoenix 2 - 123Mhash, freezes on close Diablo Miner - 121Mhash with 98% GPU usage. throws a bunch of Invalid solution errors and says hardware error CGMiner program just crashes before hashing (don't think supports CUDA)
what works:
Ufasoft Miner, around 120Mhash RPCMiner (mod), up to 134 Mhash (SEE BELOW)

how much for you to tell me how to run it under windows? Download and run the exe. I didn't include all of the files. Just what is updated. You will need to download rpcminer-win32 first for all the dlls and crap. 1) download this: http://www.mediafire.com/file/hduqoqdf3onqrod/bitcoin-rpcminer-20110227-win32bin.zip2) unzip #1 3) Download my update: http://www.qfpost.com/file/d?g=oreaN2eXE4) unzip #3 5) move files from #3 overtop of files from #1. I guess maybe I should have just put the dlls and crap in my zip.... ... ALso, make sure to let me know if it works or not. I wasn't able to test it with a 6xx card... I'm curious to know..

How about selling that GTX680 and buying a 5870 with the money ?
I'm a video editor should answer your question indirectly

Nope, just a normal account. You should just need to set -url= -user= -pass= to get it to run. You may or may not want to change other -gpu and -aggression related options. rpcminer-cuda.exe -url=http://pool.bitclockers.com:8332 -user=userhere -password=passhere btw, was able to find a 680 to test on this AM. so i know it's all working on 6xx devices now.

You do not even need to do -gpu for it to find and use the gpu.
I think the params i posted above were incorrect; Sorry, my bad.
Updated params in previous post in case anyone finds this thread.

Going a bit further this time but I am receiving a Visual Studio related error, something like vectors out of range.
Could be my dusty Wndows installation though... Waiting for 420.
