This will never happen. Nvidia and AMD always release the high end cards first then work their way down.
Didn't the 6870/6850 release first, just, like, a year ago? So I wouldn't go so far as to say always.

Can we come back in on 02/12/2012 and tell you that your gut was wrong
That would be awesome though, if they released it next month!
You know I'm starting to think that AMD delaying the 7950 to February may come back to bite them. Who's going to want a 7950 if GTX 680 and 670 come along and kick 7970 in the nuts. Well... who knows maybe AMD will respond accordingly with price adjustments. To me, it's not a question of IF kepler will outperform Southern Islands it's simply by how much. With that said I'm gonna guess that GTX 680 will be about 25-30% faster than 7970
Intel does not make "discrete" GPU's. NVIDIA gained marketshare from AMD in the discrete market. I'm guessing you just made this up for whatever reason.
AMD just adjusted their price on the 7970 from $525 to $475. Something is definitely on the horizon from Nvidia.
Price adjustments means competition is near.
I bet they are triangulating his location as we speak

Yes, I would deserve a thrashing for getting everyone's hopes up
I was getting 02122012 just cause it sounds nice 2-12-2012 kind of like a good launch number.
12-12-12 sounds even better as a launch number! Who says it won't come out then?
Honestly, I'm going with what Kyle said. I'm sure he doesn't want to burn bridges with nVidia, but he doesn't have a good reason to mislead us either.
what did Kyle say?...Q4 2012?
So Kepler is coming in February, March, April, May, June or December. Nice, we only have a few months left for random guesses!
Well... I've been saying from the start of this thread February. Now Napoleon from Chiphell is also saying this. He has a pretty good track record. I won't say it's perfect. You always have to take this stuff with a grain of salt.
I'm just saying that I've been saying february and everyone thinks I'm crazy and I understand why.
Let's see how this plays out. It's getting intersting now though

And as usual the Chinese of all people are experts on all things Nvidia
With all likelyhood anything that originates on a Chinese site is completely fabricated, just like that idiot Turkish site Donaimhaber...
Can't trust their rumors any more than you can their products. (at least their rumors are unlikely to kill you)

Except they could be from Taiwan, which is where all this stuff is made. The guy whose brother works in the factory where they make the chips (or the packaging, or the coolers, or the PCBs, or whatever) might actually have some inside information. The leaks always start with guys in China/Taiwan.
Anyway, the chinese have been the source of a lot of accurate rumours in the past but also a lot of bullshit. The good stuff comes through cause a lot of the big AIB's package their cards over there. Early 3dmark results, PCB pics, retail box pics etc mostly come from the far east.
