the chip size is very small on the 680 though maybe a bigger area chip would pack in more stuff ? im clueless on it so maybe not

Based on existing GK104 chips it doesn't seem possible, well possible on some prototype card to show off at a show, but on sale for consumers, not a chance.
Something like this, even if it was possible would make it more difficult for Nvidia to bring out something else afterwards, a 1.9ghz OC already has a crazy 3D Mark 11 score.

You mean a custom liquid nitrogen coolerPerhaps 2ghz is possible say with a decent custom cooler plus say extra power (2x 8 pin perhaps) ?

The more I think on this, the more I just don't believe it. Maybe they have found a way to keep a card cool like nitrogen does? Maybe somebody has heard of this new advancement in cooling.
yea' it's probably a language translation mistake, or he means something else, even so; expect more powerful custom cards soon.

Expect a standard 680gtx with a fancy temperature monitoring chip that itself runs at 2000Mhz for ultra realtime temp monitoring, wooo.
2Ghz stock speed shipping card....., same chip, 1/4 the size on 14nm...... sure, why not.

One million dollars.
Looks like MSI have some competition.

These more powerful cards are not more powerful; it's still the same GPU. They're just reference cards with a custom cooler and factory overclocked.
If you're inventive you can do both at half the price premium of the custom cards.
If you're talking about the next generation of cards (7**) then you'll be applying that same logic whenever they're released about the next next generation (8**) and can end up in a loop of waiting and speculating without ever buying

Way things are going they'll be lucky to get any, let alone high bin ones that do 2ghz.
2ghz is more believable if its the boosted clocks they state. it may be possible in certain load conditions that the core hits 2ghz. but doubt its going to run 2ghz flat out in furmark or something thats fully utilising the gpu, not on air cooling anyways.
