Here is a picture of the control pane where you can manually change the Turbo Boost percentage:

Supposedly the difference between the GTX680 and HD7970 is similar to the difference between the GTX580 and the HD6970:
http://forum.beyond3d.com/showpost.php?p=1630025&postcount=3048
The TDP is meant to be between the HD6950 and HD6970. Power consumption and TDP of the GTX680 might end up being similar to an HD7950 3GB. Considering the HD7950 3GB has a more complex PCB and more VRAM,I wonder how close the TDP and power consumption of the GPUs(not the full cards) are though??

Improved refresh, like the 285 was to the 280?
Near enough the same price as the HD 7970 then.
It launched later, it was the 580 to the 9700PRO's 480
And it smashed Nvidia all over the park, one of the best video cards I ever owned along with 8800GT and 5870

V2 12mb were £225 at launch in PC world, I remember thinking I'm b****d if I'm paying that for a GPU!
Now that looks spot on to me.

Only 200 FPS target? I have TF2 set to limit 241 FPS because they say (refresh rate*2)+1 = best for smooth gameplay
GTX680 is looking like 15-20% faster than GTX580 then. AMD will have to drop prices when the high end Nvidia GTX drops in a few months for sure it means happy times for anyone looking for a decent GPU around May-June methinks based on previous price gouging tactics etc etc 
they will have to drop prices on both existing Green & Red GPU's to avoid being left with a lot of unsold stock........

Think i paid £400 for sli voodoo2s back in the day.
Depends on supply/demand really, if stocks are limited & sell out pdq, then AMD will be in a position to carry on business as usual.
