The first "proper" Kepler news Fri 17th Feb?

I thought that bf3 video hesitated a bit in places, like when he was climbing stairs.

looks like the price drops are already starting...

Looking good for a price war then.

£360 for a 7970 is very tempting.

I thought the GTX680 supported DX11.1?? The box says DX11.

I do like the look of the overall card, but the power connector layout just ruins it in my opinion.

They could have made it a little tidier don't you think?

Instead of having a massive gap between them, have it so one is actually stacked straight ontop of the other.

They can't because of the clip that secures the connector in place.

From what I have read and seen, I am looking forward to this release and if it is £420~ then that is cool with me.

I put some OT in at work to pay for this card on the premise it was as good as a 7970. On "leaks" it appears it is. Hurry up the 28th (payday). I am in.

 

[xsistor]

Haha wow. That's commitment

he,he GTX680 all the way.

Seems like NDA ends on the 23rd instead of the 22nd.

Pay day is the 23rd lol! but ill think ill be looking at a model with a pre-installed waterblock this time round.

 

[xsistor]

Coincidence? I think not.

 

[Gregster]

Damn I wish my payday was the 23rd deffo a sign

Edit:

Pre installed waterblock...

I didn't put that much overtime in

 

[RavenXXX2]

Very much doubt you will see them at £420 on release, think £450+ in very limited supply.

 

[thezakarum]

Gibbo seems to think there will be plenty of stock.

 

[RavenXXX2]

I await the mega 680 pyramid in that case.

Maybe. I can go a little further but not much. (I hope Gibbo reads this )

+1, I want to see the smiley face and burger!

Spoiler

 

[straxusii]

Gibbo did say a while back they had plenty arriving early this week, everywhere else is reporting shortages though.

If it does end up being £450 for an overclocked 660 then I doubt there will be stock shortages.

The chap who leaked the latest GTX680 pictures owns a shop and says its a similar price to an HD7970 3GB, and that he will hope to review the card on Wednesday:
