Lol what a boss.

[citation][nom]caedenv[/nom]This is dumb. These product launches are planned out WAY in advance, and nVidia decided to remove the compute support of the 680 long before they knew what the benchmarks would be for the 7970. ...blah blah blah ...[/citation]

Did NVIDIA Originally Intend to Call GTX 680 as GTX 670 Ti?

Which was the point of Kepler-efficiency. And to think this came from Fermi. nVIDIA... like a baws!

The scaling is poor of course due to beta drivers, but here it is...

Except the compute performance is so crippled! Dang you nvidia now I have to get a radeon for my rendering!

The 680 is good, but I'm considering a 6870 for my build. I want to see Kepler cards for $150-$200. I've always been an AMD GPU fan, but if they release something to compete with the 6870, I'll buy it.

I also thank the people at Nvidia now 7900 series from Amd will get cheaper and I'll be able to upgrade from my older 5900 gpu.

The 7970 is clock for clock the same as a GTX 680 and uses slight more power given its a bigger / more complex chip. AMD should of clocked the 7970/50s higher out the gate, the gap is much more minimal when overclocking comes into play.

This to me is nVidia hype, great marketing machine really, it's a revolution compared to their GTX 580 but not against the general trend in the industry. As someone else said, would be interesting to see if record bonuses are awarded to back this up.

I can't help but think the 2GB of Video Ram will become a bottleneck in a couple years with a multimonitor or high-res monitor setup.

hmm, so they actually have a product this time, not a mock up... Congrats Jen-Hsun.
