I dont think theres a reason outside of multi displays personally, but I want one bad.

Yes, and on single displays too. 120hz and high IQ require a lot of GPU power.
Yes true but they are such a small minority. Even less than triple displays methinks.
I saw the stats somehwere on rage3D, 120hz display users far outweigh triple display users. For serious gamers, eyefinity is fail, 120hz is the better option by far.
Well you could do both like me and have 3D Surround.
Yes thats true, but to push 120fps at high IQ across 3 displays is out of current techs capabilities. It already takes Tri 580 or Tri AMD 7 series to run 120fps at 1080p in BF3 for example with some form of transparency AA.
That was harsh Kyle lol...
Well...I love seeing new technology so bring on Kepler but honestly I don't play a single game that needs one. Or even a 7970 for that matter.

Why does Sonda5 still think it will be $300?

i highly doubt it will be $300...i did hear multiple sources say $300 was the original target goal....then the past few weeks, sources say nvidia plans to jack up the price to $550, which is 7970 price....kinda lame of nvidia to do this, considering this new Kepler chip isn't suppose to be "high end" and just a mid range card...its just the performance is so good compared to the 7970, they can market it as high end, and milk the extra money out of us
Let me share my experience here which I think is more similar to a common user's setup. 1920*1080, no 3D or any fancy display setup. Currently I'm using a GTX 295 which is similar to a GTX 480 in terms of performance, apart from its lack of DX11.I dont think theres a reason outside of multi displays personally, but I want one bad.
But a couple SLI cards currently out can provide that with some clocking and tweaking.

Very true, even my 2y-old GTX460 (and 5y-old C2D CPU) is fast enough for 95% of all new games. The need to upgrade is just not there anymore. Ten years ago, it would have been unthinkable to game on parts this old. Look at it this way;Kepler (or 79xx) is not needed with the console-isation of gaming and anemic line-up of PC games pushing the graphical envelope. And for the argument that there are upcoming games that will need this amount of power, who are we kidding? We know there will be no title that will a require power jump like games in the past e.g. far cry, crysis or HL2... those days are over until there is a console refresh. There is nothing my dual 480s doesnt run exceptionally well and will for a long while - bad for the hobbiest in me, good for my wallet, I suppose.
The new pricing scheme is unfortunate, but then again; when a GTX460 is fast enough for all console ports, who cares what a GTX870 or Radeon HD8990 will cost?One could argue that the reduced cost of a die shrink and improved manu process that is driven by new GPUs is why we need the new cards, but as we are painfully seeing with AMD and nV pricing schemes, this is not the case.
Maybe, maybe not. But I am worried about the future of the GPU. We'll see what happens when the next-gen consoles are announced. Nv / AMD will at least want to release new GPU's that are "better than the new consoles". Could trigger a new GPU 'arms-race'.PC gaming is, unfortunately, becoming more and more of a niche.
