Yea i mean they made it kinda obvious

That box is probably the reason for the $999 price tag. If I do end up ordering one I'm going to tell them to just brown bag it for me and maybe I can save a few bucks! :-D (sarcasm btw)

 

[Rockdpm]

lol cool bro.

The questionably overpriced PNY card is in stock....

 

[Ironwilly]

Sold out again... that was quick!

 

[Rockdpm]

Yea, hopefully stock will get better. But until Samsung becomes the official foundry for NVIDIA for this time around... were gonna see shortages. I think i will stay home from work this time for release of the rest of the 600 series

 

[Rockdpm]

I think the 690 will be the next 5970 as regards to OC ability.

However we must see how that water chamber cooler really works.

Your signature is Photo Shopped is it not?

 

[Rockdpm]

cool. Ima have to play with paint again. Its similar to illustrator

 

[Rockdpm]

Thanks for showing your NVIDIA Geforce SUPPORT!!!. I love another Geforce Fan boy

 

[Rockdpm]

hmm.......... NVIDIA, Again NVIDIA, NVIDIA Again, NVIDIA again.... INTEL!. Yea i am not fully NVIDIA fan boy but i do admire the company even tho their logo's and products are basically in everything i have. I just love the company

 

[Rockdpm]

Yea NVIDIA drivers are better than what they used to be, however i have a GTS 450 in a other computer running 285 drivers and no issues what so ever and runs bad company 2 on medium

shame on whoever "created" those benchmarks. look at the metro from the top graph (680 vs 690) to the bottom one (single 690 vs SLI) why is the top one 60 fps but the bottom is 30 (single 690)?

 

[Rockdpm]

Thats marketing for ya, confuse the consumer and make him think hes getting best bang for buck by buying a 1000$ card and then tell him he needs 2, for actual performance

 

[mactronix]

I am biased on a driver level though 😉

You biased, really, I would never have guessed. 😗

 

[mactronix]

My comment was based on your sig decoration of choice at the moment.

[Rockdpm]

lol

Honestly, I don't see how anyone could look at everything Nvidia has been bringing lately and not be biased.

 

[Ironwilly]

haters gonna hate...

 

[Rockdpm]

Yea...

 

[esrever]

nvidia has been failing at everything but marketing lately so I would say people would be biased looking at it.

 

[Rockdpm]

Ok ok, lets get back on topic here...

 

[renz496]

Well only if you were to buy the 4GB versions, but yeah. I guess the single 690 would consume a little less power, but it would also deliver less performance so I don't really see the point of this card at this price, unless you are low on PCI-E slots or something.

660ti and 670 confirmed?

http://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-670-geforce-gtx-660ti-final-specifications-leaked-reference-pcb-gtx-670-unveiled/

http://www.maximum-tech.net/nvidia-geforce-gtx-670-release-date-confirmed-12397/

i've already heard something about the 690 will be faster than 2 GTX680. also early speculation suggest that the 660ti will be based on GK106 but the latest rumor suggest it still based on GK104. did nvidia adopting one chip strategy for their high-end/mid range cards just like they did with tegra?

Yea, hopefully stock will get better. But until Samsung becomes the official foundry for NVIDIA for this time around... were gonna see shortages. I think i will stay home from work this time for release of the rest of the 600 series

i heard that the partnership with samsung is more for their tegra business. for the discrete gpu side i don't think they have other choice other than TSMC. at least for now

 

[Rockdpm]

Well then thats kind of sad news.... Hopefully ill be able to get a GTX 670 at launch... otherwise.. i turn into a refresh hog like everyone else

 

[Firewood B B]

Tomorrow I have my 680 - I'm happy

 

[Rockdpm]

Cool
