For me the most interesting thing with this upcoming card is what are they going to call it, now we know it is suppose to be the 560 replacement so do they use the 660 name or the 680 because of its suggested performance.
If they go down the 660 route then it is going to be hard to justify a price that would be expected due to its suggested performance £300-400, but of course if they go for the 680 naming idea then that sort of price would seem understandable.
equally confusing is if they go for a 660 name then they allow for higher end cards as we expect to come later in the year but what of the current range. the 660 comes in with higher than 580 performance and possibly a similar price, I think I’m right in saying they stopped producing the 580/570's but if the replacements are still 5/6+ months away then it makes me wonder how things are going to pan out. If they go for the 680 naming idea then where does that leave the faster cards to come?
All in all things are slowly hotting up in the graphics card game and me personally I’m loving it.
