Kyle Please. Many others are also interested.

I really want to know Battlefield 3 Ultra(4x MSAA) VRAM usage at 1080p,1600p and multidisplay. This should settle the 2GB vs 3GB dilemma for a LARGE no of people. The only reason I will have to upgrade my 460 1GB is that the usage at Ultra is 1015MB+ out of 1024MB which leads to single digit...

LOL. But you feel sad for Tom. Probably in a lot of trouble due to 'accidental' breaking of NDA. I really didn't understand how they were leaked 'accidentally'. They uploaded them on their Website, right there for the world to see. It's not like they were hacked or something.

OK I agree. Was actually thinking of that while posting. But how many people paying 500$ would actually run these cards at stock. They always OC, some wait for a few months more than others but do eventually. Stock clocks are always too conservative. How about we settle on Avg Stable OC...

Thank You Sir...

Math lessons for everyone..... 9th Jan to 22 March = 4 months 499$ is more than 549$ But I agree with you. What were Nvidia fans getting excited about? So what if it's smaller, faster, cheaper, requires less power and beats 7970 in every game other than Metro. OMG It has 3 frames lesser...

I think nothing can be said until we get an OC vs OC review since Nvidia would obviously have set their default clock with the 7970 in mind (We cannot blame them for that. It is common sense and one advantage of releasing the card after AMD). So to sum it up: Stock vs Stock............USELESS...

Nvidia's GTX680 gets thrashed by AMD's mid-range Radeon HD 7870 in GPU compute Source: The Inquirer http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/review/2162193/nvidias-gtx680-thrashed-amds-mid-range-radeon-hd-7870-gpu-compute BUT...... Apparently Nvidia ditched GPGPU and compute stuff on the...

http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?p=33167083#post33167083 The title says it all. Nvidia have clearly won and in style. For 1080p it crushes 7970 and gets a few frames over 7970 at 1600p despite the 2GB limitation...

Seriously. They probably feel like they have won the lottery. Selling the 660 at 680's price...

Since we are on the topic, what are your thoughts on an i5 760 @ 4GHz. Would that be a bottleneck for a singe 680. Do I really need to upgrade the CPU till Haswell comes out?(Skipped SB and would like to skip IB as well)

Don't forget the fact that it would be silly to come up with similar performance at the same price and 2 months late and having built up so much hype.

Don't forget the fact that it would be silly to come up with same performance at the same price 2 months late.

This is something I have wanted Reviewers to do since a long time. You guys tell us what PSU it needs and what kind of cooling it needs why not this? The buyer has no way to know which CPU is necessary and which one is an overkill. There should be a page which tells us the CPU(and it's clock)...

Yes, we always need the new generation because it doesn't just increase the performance but does it at the same price and power consumption. Hence 'poor people' like us get the previous gen's 500$ performance at 300$ at much reduced power consumption as an added bonus. Even if price is no issue...

I agree with you but you have to agree they have gone a little overboard. Things like : 1) We expected a lot more from AMD 2) 3XGTX580 3) 1.4X 7970 in BF3

22,23,24 March(23 probably) is quite certain confirmed by a huge no of people and sites.

FOR THE LAST TIME.....It is not 3XGTX580. Last year the demo was completely unoptimized and Epic itself said that after optimization, it will easily run at half the graphics power. It is obvious that 1 GTX680 can run it which is believed to be 1.4 times GTX580. I don't understand how reputed...

Nothing about BF3 I guess.

Here's the First official Kepler Review(GT640M; We will have to wait for GK104 some more I guess....) http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Mobile/Nvidia-GeForce-GT-640M-Review-Kepler-Arrives-Mobile/Performance-Verdict

Lets just hope our friend Kyle is hard at work reviewing a 680 as we speak.

Lets all pray that that doesn't happen.

INDEED. The one major issue with Fermi was power and temps. It was the only thing AMD fanboys would constantly repeat as apart from this flaw, Fermi was awesome.(I do accept that 90C+250W was insanely ridiculous though). But Nvidia seems to have corrected its mistakes this time around.

I also think it's a GK104. More importantly, its not very surprising as It has been said time and again that the Demo was not at all optimized at that time and Epic claimed that after optimization, it will only require about half the Power to run it.

Don't do it. I have a heavily OCed GTX460 (880MHz) and easily run BF3 on Ultra at 1080p. Problem , I can only do this for 3-5 min as after that VRAM usage is more than 1005/1024MB and the game starts crawling/stuttering. Crysis 2 also uses more than 980-1000MB VRAM (though it does not...

My First Post here. Sir I agree that its performance makes it capable of being sold as a high end card but what about the fact that its size is the same as a GTX460 and has a 256bit interface which would make the production cost damn low(compared to Nvidia's usual mosters). That should atleast...
