I'm planning to get an Ivy as soon as it's out, gearing up for D3 and Guildwars2. I'm putting a limit of $300 on a my video card, so it looks like I'll need a 660Ti, or if a 580GTX drops to $300.
 
Um, If you haven't been keeping up on tech news it's out already.. it has been for a few days now.

Bump your budget and buy one, trust me it's worth every penny.

That's the 680, not the 660.
 
They haven't said but probably near future. They aren't releasing it right now or anything, they are going to make money on the 680s first but once the supply stabilizes and there's production capacity for other things you can bet they'll look at lower end markets since there's a lot of money there (less per card but more cards sold). So I doubt you'll have to wait too long, but I wouldn't be planning on getting it next month.
 
$300-400 is maximum I want to spend on a video card. I was so close to pulling the trigger on a 680, luckily it sold out and I came back to my senses.

I hope the 660 or 670 or whatever its going to be called releases soon.
 
When the real 680 comes out, they're going to rename this card the 660 so you might as well get one of these. Problem solved, except for that price thingy, so maybe you should wait a little longer.
 
Anyone have specs on the nVidia midrange? Mostly interested in the GPU power to TDP ratio. Price is a non-issue.

Mainly interested if it's got better efficiency than the Radeon HD 7850 with similar (or better) performance.

No new 28nm mid range right now. Right now NVIDIA's cards that compete against HD78XX cards are GTX560ti 448, GTX570 and GTX580. Prices go from less than HD7850 to slightly to more for GTX580. That is all NVIDIA has right now.
 
As soon as you start seeing a lot OOS on 570s and 580s it will be right around the corner. They want to clear that stuff out w/o taking too big of a loss.
