nVidia 'Kepler' GeForce GTX 680 Reviews

[Mungri]

Wow, NVIDIA has a a killer core on their hands. The price, performance and power consumption are all massive improvements. I like this new NVIDIA a lot. Now I can just hope this pushes the HD 7970 prices down to something like $450.

Well then again, if the 7950 / 7970 had been much more appropriately priced, the GTX 680 would have cost even less

Remember that GK104 was always meant to have been this generations mid range, not the high end. Now Nvidia get to sit back and take it easy for a year or so with the GK104 performing so well, and then whenever AMD manage to catch up yet again spurting their 'Verdetrol' garbage marketing, out comes the GK110 which beats AMD again with a year old architecture.

And please note I was an ATI fanboy up until the HD 5000 range, both the 6000 and 7000 ranges have disappointed me significantly compared to what Nvidia have had on offer since their Fermi refresh.

Not really a worthy upgrade over GTX580 TBH.

Well the GK104 was meant to have been an 'upgrade' over the GTX 560ti, not an upgrade of the GTX 580. GK110 was meant to have been the GTX 580 replacement. I was meant to have been purchasing two GK104s right now for <£450 for my next SLI setup, but due to AMD's underwhelming HD 7000 cards that wont be happening.
