Kepler Nvidia GeForce GTX 780

If Charlie says that, then Kepler is simply going to be great. Years this guys job has been to utterly troll, flame and hate nVidia. If he is positive, this is going to be great.
That, or all his AMD contacts have been laid off and trying to find favour with the green team again lol.

That 104 is strange though, keeps popping up, the 4 has always been mid range performance hasn't it?

That's had me confused as well. Only possible explanation I can think of is that NVidia's midrange can tackle the 7970 so they feel there's no reason to bring forth the big boy until a later time. This is obviously advantageous as it gives NVidia time to tweak their design on the 28nm process before putting out a behemoth of a chip while also giving nvidia a haymaker to throw later on this year that AMD is going to have a tough time responding to. After all, as a publicly traded company, your main mission is to make the investors happy. Bringing out your $250 card at $400 will DEFINITELY make the investors happy.

At the same time that sucks for the consumer, because we'll end up paying higher prices from both camps this round in each respective segment. Right now people are blaming NVidia for AMD's pricing--but AMD's pricing on their cards is going to also bring up NVidia's pricing since they see they're able to get away with it. That's a bad thing for all of us.

This is, however, the first time I can think of that charlie has EVER been positive regarding a NVidia product. That alone gives me a lot of faith in this chip.
