nVidia 'Kepler' GeForce GTX 680 Reviews

[Mungri]

You and the other ATi fans

Wut? I absolutely hate the 7970, 6970, GTX 580, and GTX 480.

Im no 'fan' of either band

The GTX 680 is the first high end card in a long time I've liked. Im actually blaming AMD here not Nvidia for price gauging the market with their 7970.

However Nvidia could have made a higher performing part easily - 2x8 pin connectors on GK104, and higher clockspeeds. That wouldnt really have taken too much effort, especially not at the £425 asking price. Reference designs from both AMD and Nvidia are always beyond terrible.

"NVIDIA "could" have done a 500mm chip last year even! They "could" have priced it at $500 and given people more for their money!".

Erm, not quite, but Nvidia surely could have priced the GTX 680 £100 lower and given me more for my money by making me spend less.

was just thinking something like EVGA or ASUS, any opinion as to one or the other?

Id go with EVGA for the step up program and use it to upgrade to the classified version later on.
