According to the report, chips may be suffering from serious performance degradation over long periods of heavy load. This sounds a lot like Intel’s Sandy Bridge SATA controller issue last year with motherboards being recalled due to SATA controller performance degradation.
 
I have never heard of that site, but then again, I don't hop around a lot of them.

If true, that could mean some bad news for nvidia. Makes me glad I don't have 400 bucks to drop on a GTX670.
 
Was this related to the batch of 670s EVGA supposedly recalled with no real explanation last week?
 
Hopefully Kyle and Brent can contact their Nvidia sources and see if this true or false.
 
What?

I see nothing in that article (all two paragraphs) that is of substance.

True: there are tight supplies.
Why: no on is really sure at this point.

Degredation? What/where is the fact behind that statement?

Looks like a grab for site traffic is all I can get from that.

Maybe its an attempt at making people stop buying 680s so someone can get one :)
 
I get my GTX 680 today I would like to know if this applies to certain batches or all of them.

dont worry about it, there is no spoon. Some idiot left his tinfoil hat on and spewed this crap onto the internetz.
 
It's a load of bull I can almost guarantee it. If nVidia was planning a recall there wouldn't still be GTX 680's showing up in stock every week from multiple vendors. It's most likely just another rumor quoted from someone that misinterpreted something they heard or read and knows very little about the product period.
 
there is an issue with adaptive vsync which is going to be fixed in a driver soon. I'm guessing that and some jack hole who can't score one at newegg would do this in the hopes he could score one cheap in the fs forums lmao.
 
Nvidia Corp. on Monday denied plans to recall GeForce GTX products based on the GK104 graphics processing units due to rumoured eventual performance degradation. The company claims that the rumours are incorrect and the graphics products work fine.

"There is no truth to this," said Bryan Del Rizzo, a spokesman for Nvidia.

The official for the company declined to provide any further details or colour to the information published earlier on Monday. According to a media report, Nvidia GK104 "chips may be suffering from serious performance degradation over long periods of heavy load". The exact effects of performance degradation were not indicated: it is unclear whether certain stream processors stop working, or the chips drop clock-speed. As a result, the company was rumored to initiate recall process for the GK104-based products.

Before making it to the market, all the new GPUs are vigorously tested in various applications; they also pass Microsoft HCL tests, which not only stress graphics chips, but take hours to complete. Therefore, chances that chips may degrade in performance over time are pretty low.

lol...
 
Excellent news, this thread needs to be locked now by the mods since the article has now been proved Fud!
 
Until I hear otherwise from NVIDIA I would assume this is bunk.
 
I choose to believe this rumor is true but only to anyone who is in the EVGA step-up queue ahead of me for a gtx 670. If you are, immediately cancel your step-up. Everyone else should be fine.

"innacurate.com" hasnt said anything about this.

i have a feeling there is some truth to this. we will find out for sure in the next few weeks.

kyle, steve, brent, you guys hear anything?
 
i called my local fry's today to ask if they had any gtx 690s in and the guy said they shipped two back because of a recall. really wanted one though. my 580 is struggling with the 27" ACD.

they sent them back due to a fake recall. Lmao, nice fake try. Newegg chat support doesnt know of a recall. I believe them.
 
I smell the scent of the AMD PR department on this one. The eVGA recall is an eVGA issue solely related to eVGA's binning errors. Take that, add a few rumors, and post it on an illegitimate website to try and drum up talk to damage Kepler sales. Makes sense to me. That being said as an owner of a perfectly functional GTX 680 that lasts for hours on end in gaming without hiccups, I'll be interested to know if something does come up in the next few months...

Yeah right. AMD doesn't need to make up a thing when Nvidia can't bring shit to market.

Well if not AMD, than someone who dislikes nVidia at least. Any speculation on Kepler sales is just that...speculation. nVidia hasn't produced any sales figures for Kepler so there's no proof other than to say that demand exceeds supply. Any speculation about a recall is similarly just that until evidence comes to light substantiating this claim of malfunctioning products.
 
So.. who wants to loop Furmark on their 680 for a month to test this?

Edit: not too worried about this... I'm not keeping the cards for 3 years and if anything happens, there's warranty.
