Kepler Nvidia GeForce GTX 780

Why not? If 660 is around 7950, and 670 slightly above 7970 and 680 above that it wouldn't be to different from earlier series. nVidia might be aiming higher than AMD, the later release suggests that.

Besides, I don't think 15% higher performance would put it that close to 7970. 7970 is around 35% faster than GTX 580 at high resolutions. It would still be closer to GTX 580 than 7970. So it would mirror the situation in the last series pretty good.

pshhh 35%,, more like 15%- best case 25%

15% - are you sure?

e.g. http://www.computerbase.de/artikel/g...stung_mit_aaaf (14 games/2600k@4.5ghz)

1920x1080 4xAA/16xAF +20%
2560x1600 4xAA/16xAF +30%

1920x1080 8xAA/16xAF +29%
2560x1600 8xAA/16xAF +33%

1920x1080 no AA/AF +18%
2560x1600 no AA/AF +25%

I’m talking about performance, that's best measured with no bottlenecks at higher resolutions. In those cases 7970 is at least 35% faster. Of course you won’t see such results with bottlenecks in the mix.

Review is in Swedish but I hope you can read graphs, the first image is an Index over the average performance, in individual games it’s sometimes faster and sometimes slower.
