This is funny, more people would rather have a bowl of ice cream than a HD7970:

Very Interesting... But where is the Mid range.. and GTX 660

 

[davemaster84]

I walked in to my local Fry's yesterday (Silicon Valley), and they had a sparkling new Zotac GTX 680 just sitting there.... and the kicker, it was on sale for $475!

 

[Rockdpm]

Wut? did you buy it?

Wut? did you buy it?

Still holding out for either a GTX 690 or a custom GTX 685 later in the year. I want all the cards on the table before I upgrade my trusty GTX 580.

Wise choice, the 580 is no slouch, so you have more than enough to see you through!

I'm so caught up in Skyrim, it seems like I'll be playing it well into late summer and longer. The GTX 580 is perfect for that game. I just experimented with enabling Adaptive VSync, and it really seems smooth. My FPS was generally between 40-80 depending on the environment (8x MSAA, 16x AF, 2x TrSSAA, FXAA, Ambient Occlusion on Quality, Ultra settings, Hi-Def textures, and .ini tweaks enabled). That level of FPS is pretty much the sweet spot for Adaptive VSync. I'm sure the end of the year around the holidays there will be some new, more demanding titles released and the pressure to upgrade will be on.

I have been looking on the internet for any rumors for releases of Kepler cards other than the GTX680 obviously. There are more cards like the 660 to be released, but any ideas when? May or June? I'm upgrading my system soon to Ivy Bridge/Kepler and I am def not getting the GTX680.

 

[EXT64]

Looks like we have the same plans for the summer matto17secs :lol:

Glad to hear that the 580 does great with a heavily modded Skyrim. I have already tried my 7970 and it does a superb job, and my brother will be using a 580 this summer. Can't wait to get started.

 

[Rockdpm]

Should see something within the next 2 weeks

 

[esrever]

the 690 is coming but nothing can be said of other cards.

 

[Rockdpm]

Well other cards are coming... Just can't say which ones.... yet!

The game is insane. Level 54 and no end in sight.

I would imagine, the only way of obtaining them is from pre-builts, Alien configured, Dell, ASUS, Or any other brand computer you buy from the store..

 

[saint19]

If those are already on pre-bulits rigs, we would see the OEM GPUs in one month or so.
