I want to upgrade my 480 to a single GPU which does 100+ FPS BF3 Ultra @ 1080p. (To make best use of my 120Hz screen)

Going by the Tom's hardware graphs

BF3 1920*1080 Ultra, 16x AF

No AA 109.86FPS
4xMSAA 77.51 FPS

Add in ~20% due to a healthy oc (Gibbo has stated similar headroom to the 7970)

No AA ~130FPS
4xMSAA ~93FPS.

Count me in if under £400!

Do we know whats launching?

Just the 680, or will there be a 670 and 660?

this +1 exact same reason I'm getting one but I'll be playing on a standard 60Hz monitor.

You NEED to see gaming @ 100+ FPS on a 120Hz screen.

Words fail me to describe the silky, greased, buttery, slippery smoothness. Mmmm.

I get that effect when I switch Vsync on and set the framelimiter in MSI Afterburner to 59... the game looks and runs soooo smooth

Below £400 and I will be tempted, over and I think I will wait. My 570 is fine, I just want a new toy to play with!

 

[djxput]

Its easier to apologise than to ask for permission is what I always think.

might be easier but the repercussions can be worse - withholding affections things like that

 

[Titchy]

Exciting times !

 

[Scooby_WR1]

Looks like I'll finally be getting rid of my 4870x2 then.

would also love to know, if it is just the 680 launch am not really interested too much.

So I guess no benchmarks from ocuk until NDA is up.

But we may see a review from HardOCP, as apparently Kyle didn't sign an NDA and does not have the nVidia Review Guide.

 

[Jakus]

Early afternoon tomorrow!

When OCUK buy stock in this sort of situation do you have to wait until the last minute before prices are fixed ?

I would be pretty sure manufacturers/suppliers would talk to someone like you for feedback and advice on market trends etc..?

Just interested, but I don't want to get you in trouble with the NDA.... Id hate to see you extradited to the green HQ

Couldn't have said it better myself

Unfortunately he said he has a Genlteman's agreement with Nvidia not to release info early, damn shame really

Boys and new toys

 

[reddev85]

I'm almost sold on one, but I don't get paid until Friday the 30th.

So save one for me! (please)

At the rumored launch prices, don't think they'll sell out anytime soon.

 

[hideki]

This card will be faster and cheaper than the 7970?

 

[liamcrane]

Im in florida at the mo wonder if i could pick a couple up cheaper here if i can find somewhere that sells em! Didnt realize the US tax is much less than at home

 

[Pate]

Nvidia have a real chance here to deal a good blow on their first batch of cards released. If they let them go for a decent undercutting price, it would stop the half of 7 series cards in it's tracks, especially since a fair few people are aggravated by their ridiculous pricing.
