Kepler Nvidia GeForce GTX 780

Obr hahaha that guy again lol

Why can't both sets of rumours be right? Something in Feb and something in Apr. The big question for me is availability. If the 7970 can barely stay in stock at $549 what are the odds that a GTX6xx part from nVidia won't sell out in days assuming lower pricing? It would make more sense for nVidia to follow suit with a $500+ card in February to limit demand but rumours so far point to GK104 launching first.

Because one does not simply launch a product right after Chinese New-year?

I believe more to Fud than Obr

Isn't that exactly what AMD intends to do with the 7950?

[Lanek]

We should make an XS contest, choose a date, and they will pull a winner for the ones who are the closest. Someone have some hardware reviewed ( PSU, motherboard ) who are lay somewhere ?

I believe the first chip to be released, the GK104 has always been planned for around february, depending on source they've just spoken end of january or even march but yea around that and that the big chip would come later on. I don't see any new rumors here, just misinterpretion of what's already out there. I don't think there's any reason to delay GK104 which won't beat HD 7970 but will still be a nice offering in its price class, ~$400. I could really do with more VRAM than my current 1GB so 2GB sounds appealing to me right now as my 1GB keeps getting maxed out in Skyrim but not really keen on spending more than 250 EUR on a gfx card today though with the PC gaming coming 2nd hand so will probably have to wait for something more reasonable.

that 3dmark11 run seems to be fake.. if you dont have a TN panel you should have seen already

Bingo!

Well, it IS possible.....but certainly NOT with a hard launch.

[trinibwoy]

Hard or soft they better say something soon. The BS meter is off the charts already.

[Olivon]

CPU-Z ID is from end november, something like that, ID-211**** too

NV needs to launch because of rumors on teh interwebs?

Where did I say anything about them? I mean for our sake....well at least for those of us on the "outside"

[Leopold Butters]

You do realise all modern mac's have right click right?

I heard they are putting a patent on that too.

[Cold Fussion]

Say what. When did this happen.

For as long as I can remember.

This is as fast as a 1200MHz 7970.

Lol, besides the fact it has already been busted, it's running on a regular 7970, I'm not sure where you base that "1200 MHz" 7970 on.

A stock 7970 does P7924 on a i7 965 (X58 - 3.75 GHz): http://www.guru3d.com/article/radeon...fire-review/17
A 1200 MHz 1970 does nearly 12K (i7 3940K - 5.7 GHz): http://hwbot.org/submission/2241370_...70_11913_marks

Obviously not the P score since the author said that GT1 and GT3 were bugged. That would be stupid. Look at GT2 and GT4 instead.
Your score looks inflated.
Here's a 1125MHz run:



Slightly slower than on Chiphell's screenshot.

Here's a 1285MHz run:



Slightly faster than on Chiphell's screenshot.

But since it's fake it's irrelevant, anyway.

[minpayne]

You kids *may* all be too naive



Did the author make all the effort only to paste something for you to play with the curve? Isn't pressing "Del" faster than pasting something there? The author claims he cannot say too much about it, otherwise may lose job if taken to legal ground. Who knows.

Not from a manufacturing/logistics point of view.
The on-sale date of the 7950 would indicate all this work has been done in the month before it. If NV was shipping any Kepler based cards soon, you'd think people would know & have solid leaks/info since it would need to ship around the same time as the 7950.
Do not underestimate the inertial forces of a Chinese new-year.

Not necessarily when it comes to leaks. However, I also doubt the February hard launch part. Seems a bit too early. April makes more sense, it's a few months after New Year and Ivy Bridge is coming around the same time as well.

28nm graphics card battle incoming !
Hope prices will be better

Ok, makes sense.

[neliz]

It seems to me the February launch rumor was either (really) old or "seeded" bad info from a certain AIB.

or "how to catch a leaker"
