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

UNlikely to be a lot of headroom, if it is 300mm2 +/- 10mm2, there is really only so much power it can use. The 580gtx/480gtx used a lot more than that because it was a 530mm2 core. With GK110 coming... eventually... the architecture/design will have that in mind. If gk110 is designed for circa 300W running, then a core that is 40% smaller really should use roughly 40% less power.

Sure that's why I was disappointed because I knew that meant it would be a small die which meant it wasn't Nvidias fastest single GPU flagship part.
 
Great chart Arcane :D I thought it might have performed better in the "I Dunno LOL" test. Quite dissapointing realy.

Good work Bud, I love it.
 
to kepler or not to kepler..... this is the question !:D

and the answer is:- there's no way this new nvidia card will be much better than the 7970, simply because you can sense it, plus Nvidia is pretty crap nowadays.

it's just like Doom 4, you can tell something's not right cant you !!!!!

"Spider" senses or "The Force" senses?

Also why are Nvidia pretty crap nowadays? I was just curious as to why you think this being honest?
 
So my new improved rumour list about the GK104:
1.)There is no GTX670TI but only a GTX680 as the GTX670TI was a smokescreen
2.)The GK104 was not called a GTX680 but Nvidia decided to do so now
3.)Initial cards did not have the magic bios,but after the magic bios were converted to GTX680 cards
5.)As fast as an HD7970
6.)Is 25% faster than an HD7970
7.)The GPU can be overclocked by 40% on air. Is the overclocking MASTER and clockspeed MASTER
8.)Consumes less power than an HD7970 and is the performance per watt MASTER
9.)Has lower TDP than an HD7970. Meant to be a 195W card
10.)3DMark11 score 15% higher than HD7970
11.)Has a smaller die of under 300MM2 compared to the 365MM2 die of the HD7970 and less transistors. It is the performance per MM2 MASTER and performance per transistor MASTER
12.)Has 2GB or 4GB of VRAM
13.)Can use system RAM
14.)Shorter PCB than a GTX570
15.)Was $299 but now $499 or $599 since Nvidia was disappointed with AMD
16.)Has backlit GEFORCE GTX logo on the top of the card
17.)Is the PhysX MASTER
18.)Has single card surround
19.)Is the UE4 MASTER
20.)Has the same memory bandwidth as the GTX580. However,it is very efficient at using memory bandwidth and is the efficient memory bandwidth utilisation MASTER.
22.)Does some other stuff that I might go WTF at
23.)Uses a Vapor chamber
24.)Uses an HT like technology
25.)Uses a Turbo Boost like technology
26.)Most of the rumours are not true at all
27.)The card launches on the 22nd of March
28.)The card launches on the 23rd of March
29.)Availability will be poor at launch
30.)Availability will be great at launch

they're getting their arses kicked that's why, i mean look at that GTX 590...a disaster or what!

this new card will be way too expensive and you'll have to be a bit crazy to buy it if the 7970/ 7950 drop in prices.... this card is too late coming out, because the others are starting to drop in price already
