Kepler Nvidia GeForce GTX 780

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

Say what. When did this happen.

[DilTech]

I agree with most of that... except one thing:

Most people that try 3d gaming stop using it.
Not one single person who has seen my eyefinity setup said it wasn't amazing.

Target audience is definately "very few, very dedicated, and well funded gamers" as you say. But if you put cost out the window, one is a technology that people would overwhelmingly use whilst the other is not.

If only the top-range cards supported eyefinity/3d and mid-range didn't, I'd have no problem with that. It's kind of what happens anyway, because they dont have the processing power in the mid range cards for the extra resolution. Yes there are exceptions of course.

Odd... I don't know a single person who has used 3d and doesn't continue to do so. My brother has actually been on a mission to change every single monitor in his house with 3d ones, and his main gaming rig is hooked up to a mitsubishi 73" 3d HDTV...So, where does this "most people quit using it" come from?

[Aberration]

Maybe your brother is not part of "most people".

i`m curious what would happen if "Apple" was doing all the marketing for triple display setup

let say with Mac, macbook, nothing, 7% of market share, not really a revolution...

But i can imagine you say that, for see, if the marketing team of Apple was doing the pub for it, if it will sell more...

Well, in reality, there's 2 majors problem... 3 monitors, the place for put them, and the gpu power to go with the resolution.... The last one is maybe what have let down a lot of peoples.

The thing that stops me from even considering it is the bezels. I've toyed with the idea of three projectors, but that's just farrrrr too much money to warrant doing.

[Lanek]

new monitor have small bezel, and no Bezel ( 1mm ) is around the corner, but yes i dont know how i will do if i find 2 Samsung as i the old i own now, as they have nearly 1.2cm of Bezel. and 3 good monitor is a lot of money. ( and i dont see IPS panel coming with no Bezel anyway in short time ).. So i need take 3 new monitors ( for best result it is better to use 3x the same monitor ).

For the same price i can surely find a 27-30" and buy a new gpu as the 7970.

But i need admit im really tempted for DCS A10C. wow, should be extremely immersive. with Track IR5.

RE: GTX680 (not sure if this is the final model number)

May be seen as early as in February (not paper launch but retail), as Mr Huang doesn't like the HD7970 to shine most in the 28nm era.

The performance would be around the same as the HD7970, depending on the drivers.

So far the core clock is at 780MHz, with 2GB vram.

Source is from an AIC manufacturer, saying that even the retail packages are being printed now.

Well, if this is true, I'll go ahead and say this is probably no Kepler, but a Fermi derivative, as a stop gap solution. Might even be something on 40nm and not 28nm...

With 2GB ram they would need a 256bit or 512bit wide memory bus interface.
so i don't buy it.
256bit is probably to low to even reach the 580performance... unless they run it at 1500MHz..
512bit seems an option... but then this is a high end die and a rather big one.

[Chrono Detector]

Argh, if the GTX 680 or whatever NVIDIA is going to call it has a 2GB and 256 bit memory bus I seriously don't see it win against the 7970 unless if NVIDIA surprised us. Enough with the low VRAM already NVIDIA.

[R101]

It might still be 384bit, but with different size memory chips. This has already been done .

[xdan]

Yes GTX 550TI 192bytes bus 1GB memory...

[Lanek]

Look more like GTX660 spec for me.... But with all the rumored spec, i think even if i was write them or know them, i'll will dont believe it myself ( lol )...

[matose]

GTX680 / GTX670 will be based on Kepler and will be launched in February, at least that's the plan now

P.S: Don't ask me the source of this, cannot say

[zalbard]

2GB of VRAM, really? Why?
Doesn't make any sense... Especially after 3GB 580 cards.
I can max out 2GB of VRAM at just 2560x1600 already, so I was hoping to get more for 2012 titles.

OK, thx for the heads up mate, not that long of wait i suppose.

No performance expectation leak ? February is just one month away, the pre release numbers should already be floating among peeps that in the bussiness.

[Lanek]

why this is worry me more with the last 2go rumors? it start to look as they have move the GK104 SKU > GTX680/670... if true lets prepare us to get a 7xx refresh in some month...

Nvidia Kepler schedule revealed

A quarter behind AMD

We are still missing a lot of details, but according to the current schedule it looks like GK110, Nvidia’s Kepler high end card, which should up with the Geforce GT 680 brand comes in April.

A chip called GK107, a much slower version of the same 28nm core, will show up in May, while the sexy performance market sweet spot part codenamed GK106 is planned for June. We still have no info when the most affordable part of this gang, codenamed GK108, comes to market.

Mobile parts should follow a different launch dynamic and we expect more than just one card in April. It looks like Nvidia wants to make a name in desktop with high-end parts and that mobile GPUs will have a much wider spectrum, simply because Nvidia has some 300+ design wins in the mobile segment and that they can make nice money off it.

[Lanek]

Huh? so Fud speak about GK110 for GTX680, not in february but April ? why GK110 and not GK100? not logic if the other sku are called, GK104 - GK106 - 107 etc...

I feel a lot of intox somewhere, ( at same time with the week end i have got, i will polluate an ocean just by dive in it ).

You know what ? I trust more Matose of Fuad.. but im lost this time.

[minpayne]

More so-called "leaks":

Abnormal performance in GT1 and GT3, which is probably a driver issue.

[minpayne]

You've all probably read (especially on Fudzilla) VGAs with graphics architecture Kepler is postponed to April, May etc. It's all just BS and Camouflage maneuver. Launch is literally in a few weeks/days, all this is just to appease the competitor AMD ... before crushing blow!

[OutSider]

May be but they are company that can market their products better then most of companies i know and that`s the whole meaning of my post if they were to market iMac with 3 display setup there would be lots of people drooling over it.

[boxleitnerb]

Source for the 3DMark11 score?
