I can understand where you are coming from. It would have been good if they released a 660/660ti/670 at some stage (sooner rather than later).

I don't know if this is not the case but nobody seems to say anything different.

Yes, as I said way back in this thread, these new cards will be a hard sell because their not "game changers" and everyone can play all the games quite well with something 40% or less of their cost !, I think in recent years the only pc component upgrade that really made me smile was my first SSD's

Yes 75 c is pretty standard its just we had previously seen some info that it only hit 50's at load.

Gregster · 20 Mar 2012 at 12:52

It sounds crazy but I kind of feel dissapointed that I can't get all settings maxed out on BF3 and especially if I play in 3D.

If there was a card much cheaper that could do this, then I would jump at it however I am looking to the future also and justify the 680 by knowing it will play all the games coming out for the next 2 years (well it better anyway).

I was so tempted to get a 7970/50 and after seeing some of the prices anybody who does is getting a great card for a reasonable price IMO.

Ahhhh ile face the fact, I am a Green kind of guy.

Maybe they've updated the fan profile in the recent drivers to reduce noise?

I don't understand the HKEPC table. I get a Pscore of 8967 with my 7970 at 1050/1440. (i7920 @ 3.8). 7713 looks very low.

75... Beats the 93 of my 480 xD

Have to agree I'm definitely more of a green kind of guy... just wished they made a card that could do three screens well and didn't cost the world..

They will stay well below 50c with waterblocks on

I hear that. I wanted to go 3 screens on my 560ti but basically got told I was in la la land. Vram would be the factor.

I do hate these steep prices though.

I don't think they're that steep man.

End of the day the world's fastest GPU has never come cheap.

True Andy and let's be honest, you wouldn't get a Ferrari for a Focus price.

Jakus · 20 Mar 2012 at 13:29

Wonder why we there is no new benchmarks sneaking out today, must be more cards out to retailers now ?

Nothing new CAT-THE-FIFTH ? (You are the official detective)

But Ferrari wouldn't slap a Ferrari badge on a Focus, tweak the ECU a bit, and charge a Ferrari price for it

9700PRO was also a world beater and cost ~$350 at launch

ALXAndy · 20 Mar 2012 at 14:01

I think the price range there was for flagship cards though. Not smaller brothers that could be flashed or unlocked.

straxusii · 20 Mar 2012 at 14:02

Just seen an etailer in the US $578

Edit: This is for 2 overclocked editions so slightly higher than stock I guess
