Me too, just saying how it is. I will wait for GK110.

Why up? The 680 is not the successor to the 580, regardless of the name. Look at the die size, power consumption and performance and that will become abundandtly clear.
The people only buying the fastest part are a minority. Most people buy cards that have great perf/$ and according to AMDs MSRP, none of the 7000 series is good in that regard. It is clear that at maybe $350 GK104 will outsell the $550 Tahiti XT by orders of magnitude (if supply allows).
If you think they will list it at $350.00 I have a bridge to sell you. Please stop the non sense you are giving us in the nvidia camp a bad name.
I returned the 7950 the moment I was confident in a imminent kepler release.
Whats the point in releasing the 580 successor a year after the completion releases there top end successor. The big thing here is they have nothing big! Nothing big at all.
They obviously are no where near its finalization.

I am a gamer. I don't care about what and how much this company make3s or that company makes. I and alot of ppl own a 7970 and it is a very powerful card when oced.
If the competetor comes out with a new line of cards I want it to be alot more powerful. I want to have a reason to upgrade. I don't give a shit if its good enough for other ppl or sales I want it to be ALOT better than what I already have
Even if it's named the GTX 680, priced around $450-500, and Nvidia's best performing card for months? You have a slightly perverse way of seeing things then.Why up?

Calling a mid range card and giving it the *80 GTX moniker is somewhat confusing, just like that time when NVIDIA named the slightly overclocked 8800 GTS the 9800 GTX.
I just want to see the high end card released first.
Wether or not Nvidia pulls another gtx400 or wether all the AMD fanboys cry themselves to sleep at night when the numbers come in..
I think we can all agree that its a DAMN SHAME that most of the power of these cards will not be used for another couple of generations when it comes to single monitor gaming. I can see myself holding on to my 7950 for another 4 years without breaking a sweat, which makes me a sad panda.
was hoping for a oced 680 to be 30-40% better than a 7970 oced but that seems highly unlikely now.
Why would anyone hope that Nvidia > AMD? Lol.

Indeed companies should be neck and neck with each other in terms of available products. Yet, if a company manages to bring something to the floor that allows for a far better product like in the case of video cards offering jaw dropping performance then their competitor. I'm all for it. Gives the competitor a kick in the butt to get to the same plateau or fail as a result.
The ball is in Nvidia's court right now as the 7970 is capable of 40-50% increased performance at overclocked speeds over 580's max OCable performance. Their butt has been kicked for 2 months now. Will they fail?
We know that GK104 is going to be somewhere between 7950 and 7970. This is not a recipe for increased competition and lower prices. This is a recipe for more of the same.

Ya it is sad. single screen gamers no longer will need to upgrade for years untill the new consoles are out and pushing the graphics up.
The fact that the oced 7970 maxes most games out in eyefinity is also sad. The only game this card can't max is BF3 but it gets close. Upgrading from this just to get more fps does nothing to increase the graphics visually. Hardware seems to have caught up to the games now. I have been so happy to be able to max games with 1 card in 5760*1080. Skyrim maxed with HD textures and all constantly at 60fps is awesome in eyefinity. I was hoping for a oced 680 to be 30-40% better than a 7970 oced but that seems highly unlikely now. Nvidia obviously could not come up with anything greater so they had to tell the public that the gk1o4 680 is the highend card now and to wait for the next round of cards. What I do know is with the massive performance gain in ocing the 7970 the headroom for an increases in performance probably means the 8970 will be a huge increase in performance after all they have all this time to perfect it while Nvidia still struggles
The real question is where are all the nvidia fans? For the past couple of months every single post about the Kepler series had them screaming about how great these new cards will kick AMDs ass and how everyone should wait to buy them cause the 7970 is piece of garbage compared to the new cards to come. Are they all crying in their hands knowing that the only way to get the best performance will mean they probably have to buy AMD 7970s?
Few concrete we could bring to the show on the expected performance of the 3D GeForce GTX 680 in experience. The circulating on the Internet rumors that the GTX 680, the latest AMD flagship Radeon HD 7970 by up to 25 per cent wanted to overtake, but none confirmed. Instead, it was claimed the 28-nm debut of Nvidia is Battlefield 3 in about 10 percent faster than inferior to a Radeon HD 7970 and the DirectX 11 benchmark 3DMark 11 even.In April, followed by the GeForce GTX 680 mid-range cards with GK107 graphics chips. On the occasion of the 14th to 17 May at place GPU Technology Conference, Nvidia is planning to introduce a dual-GPU graphics card with two graphics chips GK104. GK110 from large chip that is rumored to contain 2304 shader cores, by summer is nothing to see.
I doubt the new 680 will do 3 screens on a single gpu which is a complete fail. AMD eyefinity ftw
Exactly, who the hell would want either nVidia or AMD to fail That would mean less competition, and way higher prices and worse performance upgrades.
It is always best when ATI and nVidia re neck and neck going after each other, makes the newest VideoCards from them to be the best and fastest they can possibly make, and keeps the price in check.
Right now if you are an Eyefinity gamer like me, the 7970 is clearly the top dog single GPU, with the 7970 you can finally game across three screens at 5760x1200res and have the gameplay smooth, except for maybe BF3, but it is still doable, just have to lower the in-game settings a bit. But most other games can run just fine on a single 7970 at 5760x1200res. If you are on a single monitor of like 1920x1200res, these new cards are way overkill, only a 30" Display requires one of these.
nVidia needs to come with an Eyefinity solution
I was banned for insulting ppl like youWhy do you keep spouting crap like this? Seriously, you've been banned twice for it already, lay off.
Speculation is that a single Kepler card will do 3 screens, but of course there are no facts yet, but soon.
If it is only 10% faster in BF3 it will have to be a monster overclocker like the 7970 in order to beat it
remember its the general oc of these cards that matter how powerful they are
Instead, it was claimed the 28-nm debut of Nvidia is Battlefield 3 in about 10 percent faster than inferior to a Radeon HD 7970
Awesome translation? So is it 10 percent faster than or 10 percent inferior to a 7970?
Yup fanboys put too much give a crap into a company and don't think with what matters most. Their dollars. Kind of hard to understand their thought process. I want the card I buy to be faster than competitors equally priced and cheaper cards and as close as possible to the next tier. But since EVGA only sells nivida cards that usually what I buy. Customer service is also important.
Very similar news to that posted above, a bit easier to read:
http://www.techpowerup.com/161972/G...Speed-Boost-Arrives-This-Month-etc.-etc..html
Thanks for the link. So what it sounds like is GK104 is going to end up being the "high-end" part and GK110 is going to be like the "ultra high end" or something, down the line.
Also, the "speed boost" thing sounds kinda like what video cards already do, which is clock down when not loaded...? What makes this special?
I like to see that in BF3 it's doing better, I don't give a crap about 3DMark (nor do most people here I'm guessing).
Helifax's plugin for Dopefish's WSF new working fix was released a couple of days ago. Helifax;s temp fix was always working

The game is gorgeous maxed in eyefinity. Need a good oced 7970 for it though. I use a alot of mods like the border;less window to make it run butter smooth. This game is also the example why sli and crossfire sucks and single card rules. Playing on Nvdia 3 screen for this game is like a no go. I doubt the new 680 will do 3 screens on a single gpu which is a complete fail. AMD eyefinity ftw
