Looks like somewhere between the $350 to $400 price range.

Discuss.

compete with 7800 series?

[zanzabar]

that seams odd for NV to be able to keep the ROPs and memory buss while cutting a shader cluster off.

this is also only 192 shaders and 112TMU so its 7/8 of the shaders and TMU with the full buss and ROPs, that will be a killer at sub $400 in the 325-350 range would be even better.

compete with 7800 series?guessing it'll outpace it a bit, but probably be slightly higher in price to compensate.

Whens this stupid price war going to happen D= i need me another 7870 >_<

I think the performance is more going to align itself with 7950 beating performance rather than just challenging the 7870. In otherwords look at it this way.

Loses 1/8 of its shaders, the same amount the 7950 loses compared to the 7970.

7/8 *2048 = 1792(number of shaders a 7950 has).

If things translate well downward, this thing should be 10% faster at 1080P than a 7950 depending on the clocks. It should also overclock better than the gtx 680 if they keep the dual 6 pin. The turbo feature lends itself better as heat and power consumption decrease, so if the thermal threshold is kept high, this thing should stay clocked at its highest turbo clocks.

^ I also expect GTX 670 Ti to beat HD 7950 but just marginally, say 5~8% in average or so (loosing some, winning most)

Wonder if there also will be the rumored GTX 670 card or not @ $299. Some sites only post about the "Ti" card so, they'd need a true 78xx competitor price segment wise.

[Kristoferr]

It better beat HD7950 with reference clocks. Those go +50% GPU with no effort(800-->1200). Also if it really comes with 900/1250 then OC potentsial will be nice too. :)
Since 28nm production is still in bad shape and expected to ease as late as Q3, then probably no price wars just yet. It will cost exactly as much as it performs vs AMD.

If this is $300 (no way), GTX 670 SLI would be the obvious choice for most people over a single GTX 680. The 570s were $360+, so I'd say we'd see A $50 range up to $400.

I wonder how this would compare to the 680 since both have the same amount of Vram. :shrug:

7/8 *2048 = 1792(number of shaders a 7950 has). Also, if the rumored clocks for the 670 Ti (900+ MHz) are correct, then it would have ≥89% the base clock speed of the 680, which is a bit more than the 7950 which has 86% the clock speed of the 7970. As you point out below, this gap would most likely only increase in practice due to the Turbo.


The turbo feature lends itself better as heat and power consumption decrease, so if the thermal threshold is kept high, this thing should stay clocked at its highest turbo clocks.Is this the same reason why Intel's lower TDP CPUs turbo higher (absolutely and relative to base clock) than its higher TDP CPUs?

I'm guessing:

GTX 670 Ti 379~$399 2GB/256bit, 1344 CUDA cores/112 TMUs, 5~10% faster than HD7950 (in-between GTX 580 and GTX 680)
GTX 670 $299 with same 2GB 256bit but 1152 CUDA cores, 96 TMUs, adjusted clock speeds etc, ~5% faster than HD 7870 (roughly the same to -5% as GTX 580 depending on settings used)

GTX 670 is the card I'm personally hoping/eyeing to get released. GTX 580 performance but significantly lower power consumption/heat/noise levels for $300.

EDIT: Looks like 670 Ti is the card I predicted the one launching as "GTX 680" to be some weeks ago. I predicted to be $399, in-between HD 7950 and HD 7970 etc. damn it, Nvidia fooled me with the GTX 680, normally they had just released GTX 670 Ti and the supposed GK110/100 had been the true highend chip costing roughly $650. ^^

+1 :up:

I'll second that. The Ti's would be interesting I guess.

I bought Two GTX680, but i sell them again because, my GTX580 SLI are more than enough for HD gaming.

But if the GTX 670 is =~ the GTX580 i will not hesitate to bought until GTX780 come out .

[RedBull78]

What in the name of overclocking did you just say..?

why not sell the 580 while they still cost more than the waht the 670 should, the wattage alone should be almost 1/3 to half less and they should be about the same value while the suckers are buying them to sli to keep up with the current gen for no reason gaming wise.

I really felt that the GTX 680 is a waste of money and i better wait for G110, but i sell them with some benefit :D

I think that most people who already have 2x GTX580's would agree with you. Having any single nVidia card slower than a GTX580 would give u a different perspective tho.

I'm running three GTX 480s, and the GTX 600 series really doesn't impress me. Bring on the 700 series.

I had a 680, LOVED how well it ripped through BF3 like it was trying to run Quake 3.

MAIN reason I got rid of it, 1.175V limit. I would shoot whoever thought of that. They're boring to OC and you can hit the ceiling pretty quick. Mine did 1300/7000, but I felt these could easily hit 1500+ range with some voltage bumps, no joke.

Also, power draw was quite amazing. I avg'd 420w during bf3 w/o vsync on gulf of oman. My 480 @ 900 hits ~540w. Room was a tad bit cooler, but my inner tweaker was disappointed. Waiting to snatch one when I see them come out with more phases and higher voltage limit.

[RPGWiZaRD]

Wasn't it already reported that feeding extra voltage to GTX 680 just didn't help though no matter what and the bottleneck is being elsewhere. If any1 know more about this, would be highly appriciated.

These are my exact thoughts also- same amazement at the Power, maxed out too easily, sold it and waiting for custom versions- I started a thread on it too

:D

Elsewhere, bit bus? Would like this to be elaborated too; coz as far as voltage goes there's TiN's vmod - but too risky for normal users.

Anyway on topic. I hope the 670 sku's won't have a somewhat low ceiling on oc - in contrast w/ the 680, won't be surprised if that's the case though, but lower tier cards can have surprises.:)

Shouldn't be too odd... Remember G92? The 8800GT has the same amount of rops as the 9800GTX even though they cut the shaders on it. Definitely isn't the first time NVidia has done that.
