This and this +1
Hope my keyring has a 680 in it!
I have a rampage 3 extreme, can tri sli three single cards and have a soundcard on top. Will definitely need the reference blower fan versions for that though. But a dual GPU card would get me tri SLI on two 16x slots and save a lot of space.
My I7 980 can't be much of a bottleneck yet, and then my beastly uber rig will be ... uber.

I wish a passing mod would merge the 670 threads. I really can't keep up and it would be useful to have it all in one place.

Also, you can use the step up program to get the 680
Not sure if you can TBH but if the card shapes up to be like any of the benchs I have seen, then no point.
Lol. Ill probably upgrade my 670s in two years. Unless they are still going strong in which case I wouldn't bother ^.^

Yeah absolutely. Even though in real terms (overclocked side by side) the difference in minimal (discounting driver performance) a shed load of people do make their purchasing decisions based on those reviews at stock.
Im actually not overclocking anymore. My CPU is on stock speed of 3.33 Ghz, and undervolted to 1.125v, and my GTX 560 tis are undervolted to the lowest they go (0.95v), and underclocked slightly to 875 Mhz for stability.
I hate my room getting hot thats why, so yes, the stock performance, how cool and quiet these chips are, and future scaleability with SLI all have me sold.
Also after I undervolted and ran everything at stock, I noticed no difference in performance, everything still works so if I'm not running benchmarks, why bother overclocking? An I7 980 doesnt need to be overclocked, it destroys everything, as does the GTX 670 at stock speed. 100% CPU load is also <55 degrees.

Afaik all we have from Gibbo so far is the card will cost over £300 and the performance is very impressive
Do we have an exact time on Thursday that the NDA will be lifted? So I know when to pick up the phone. I did hear it was going to be 1pm...
Im really looking forward to getting 2 of these cards. Ive never bought a mid range card before. Ive always gone with the most expensive=best policy, now im going for best bang for buck
Ive had 9800xt 280gtx x1800xt and ofcourse my current card the 5970.

Technically speaking, over £300 isnt really mid range lol.

Totally agree, it's gone crazy this year with graphic card prices yet people are swallowing them up like no tomorrow, yet we are still playing last year games and reliant on a console upgrades before any of these cards can become actually worth the money for any sane person.
