Full Kepler lineup revealed

The flagship GTX 680 packs 2GB of memory, 1024 cores and a 512-bit bus. Nvidia wants $649 for it, but then again it claims the GTX 680 should beat the GTX 7970 by 45 percent.

That would be lovely!
 
Awesome flagship Kepler GTX 680 in just over 8 weeks.

Finally light at the end of the tunnel & the countdown begins :)
 
THey're re-reporting another source, link shown at the end.

Whether it's genuine or not is impossible to tell, but to me it looks believable.

It claims ~45% better performance that HD7970 for the GTX680, which would equal roughly 70% better than GTX580.

That looks plausible given the core speed, shader count and memory bus, but it also looks like Kepler doesn't really deliver anything special in terms of optimisations over Fermi.

Also interesting that this source claims hot-clocks have been retained.

GTX670 and 660Ti look to be hobbled GTX680s. Again, plausible given the massive silicon, this would allow nVidia to get the most of their yields by launching all three cards at the same time.

GTX660Ti looks like the sweet spot for price/performance, and if they really achieve that sort of price close to launch I think we can expect some big price drops from AMD.
 
I'm almost glad I've been having issues with my 2nd 580 and have to send it back

I've got a trip to the US planned in May so I may just have to get a 680 while I'm out there haha, or 2x7970's depending on where the prices drop to

Just over 8 weeks for the GTX 680? What happened to Q3 for the big chip? Sounds like green team spinny ******** to me, to stop people going with 7970's.

The big chip (GK112) is not included in the launch and never was going to be. It was always rumoured for late 2012 / early 2013.

The GTX690 is a dual-GK110 card, and that's the one at the $1000 price-point.

Because of the naming of GK112 it sounds to me like a refresh chip (GTX780 maybe?) more than anything else, taking advantage of a more mature 28nm process.
 
660 please. 580 performance on a die shrunk mid range card. Yes please. :D

$319 is about £250, that's my next card for sure if those specs are right.

Yeah unfortunately $319 usually translates to £319 despite the Exchange rate...

No :)

319 USD goes to £201, add VAT and we get £221, add 10% launch gouge and we get very close to £250 (Look at the 7970 and 7950 launches and you will this almost exact calculation happened for them also.)

Will probably sell my 6950 and get a gtx 660 if that's the case.

Bet you it turns out closer to £300 there's no way pc components are as cheap in the UK as they are in the states.
