768 CUDA cores is quite a step down from the 670, almost half.
 


If you read the source article, this is all that it says:

Many people waiting for the GeForce GTX 660, as a cheaper alternative to the HD Radeons 7800. It will be a great card with high performance, but also the high price! If you wait for a cheap card, forget it! The price will be 299-329 USD!

If it does come soon and it is $300 and also based on GK104, I would expect it to have either 960 or 1152 cores, but might have its memory cut to 1.5GB and a 192-bit interface.
 


My mistake, this article is talking about a gtx 660, not the 660 ti we heard about last week. Nvidia could very well be working on both, the ti gk104 in q3 and this one gk106. If that's so the $300 price tag on this one doesn't make much sense.

Bah, all these rumors are making me confused.
 
i am interested in seeing how much performance nvidia squeezes out of 192-bit memory bus with kepler since they got so much out of 256-bit. i've always looked disliked previous 192 bit cards- gtx 460se, 550ti, 560se..
 
Even though the 670 here is around $100 more than it should be, the price difference between that and the 680 is nearly $200 😱 So I may as well just get the 670, despite being overpriced. Besides, if I overclock it, I practically have a 680 anyway :lol:
 


These cards are the ones a lot of people have been waiting for I would wager. There will b ea killer midrange card from Nvidia I just don't know when and at what price.

Mactronix :)
 
since the hotclocks are gone,even with a difference of 192 cores the 670 is still very close to a 680.Similarly if we try to look towards the 660ti which will also be a gk104 chip and most probably have 192 cores less than the 670,this would still give some massive performance but I hear they're cutting the bandwidth too which will be near 140Gb/s.Now the bandwidth is still decent relatively and I'm sure with these specs the card will definitely be worth $300.The price I read in rumors was $250 though.
 
Has anyone seen a comparison between the 670 and 680 at relatively the same clock speeds? Some of the aftermarket 670's that come with a factory boost similar to a 680 stock boost seem to perform almost identical to a 680. I suppose it's impossible to compare since the clocks are all over the place.
 
4 Way sli wont matter much since the market for it is merely existant. For a 4 way sli you need a top end mobo, a 1 thousand dollar top end intel cpu (yeah not amd) , a hell of a psu (1200, actually better if 1500 to have some spare) , the hell of a case and of course the cards, that's around a $6000 pc, I love pc's but I rather buy a car!
