Kepler Nvidia GeForce GTX 780

[aussie-revhead]

No more news in "Big Kepler" then?

[NapalmV5]

Yeah, if only. I'll buy four 6GB versions for my Nvidia Surround setup.

going by the stupidarse tradition 3gb first and 6gb later from nvidia aibs

No more news in "Big Kepler" then?

no until they drop it like a nuke from 30k feet

[OCX600RR]

Some 660 news...might just be speculation but better than nothin I suppose -

http://wccftech.com/details-surface-...graphics-card/

the card is SHORTER than the current GTX 670 in terms of PCB length. The card will have a TDP of 100W (that aligns up with the rumors of the card having one 6 Pin PCI-E connector) and the memory bandwidth to have a total output of 192 GB/s.

The length will be around roughly 4 inches

[BababooeyHTJ]

Well, at least the pci-e connector makes things sli friendly.

Been wondering the same thing... But that wouldn't be till late fall, right?

I don't expect it to land this year.

I don't expect it to land this year.

Yeah, I'm starting to think that too. That's why I am leaning towards replacing my two 5970's with three 670GTX's

[Olivon]

The Nvidia executives we talked with raised the possibility of a GK110-based GeForce being released this year only if necessary to counter some move by rival AMD. That almost certainly means that any GK110-based GeForce to hit the market in 2012 would come in extremely limited quantities.

I'd be really surprised if Nvidia add anything else to their current line up above the 680 this year unless AMD preasures them to do so.

EDIT: LOL Irony

I suggest you the FTW edition. Mine works like a charm.

[BababooeyHTJ]

At the moment I think that the MSI power edition is the way to go. It is the only GTX 670 on the market with software voltage control.

Well let's hope 7990 is a raging success and Nvidia has to counter it, but the limited run means it's going to be very expensive .....

[phantomferrari]

if remember correctly 28nm gpus (gk110) wont be more viable til early 2013 when production is suppose to stabilize.

[NapalmV5]

exactly hence the 2 different designs/gpus.. same will go for maxwell

Judging by the fact that the 7970 ghz is just a 7970 with a 1 ghz clock and 50 mhz boost (achieved via higher voltage, so they don't appear to OC any better) and merely manages to roughly tie the 680 (and that's a reference 680, not factoring that practically all AIB's offer pre-overclocked 680's) while consuming 30-40w more and making a LOT more noise in the process, I doubt the 7990 is going to do anywhere close to enough to force NVidia's hand.

[NapalmV5]

no ones going to force anyones hand..

7970 vs 680
7990 vs 690

8000 vs 800 (gk110)

Awesome, thanks!
I'm a big fan of EVGA, they have always had the best customer service of any brand I have used for any components.
So, I'll be picking up three of those 670 FTW's and to replace my two 5970's, and I'll be getting a new x79 board, too :-D

[solofly]

You go girl...

This is just for showing you the thermals(I have an hot case though), reference 680 pcb+cooling works good and it's damn quiet. That's why I sold the 7970, too noisy. Not to forget that adaptive v-sync is lovely, enjoy your purchase!



I want to see pics of your setup when it's ready

I totally agree - 680 GTX REF is folding in my allday system without almost any noticable noise...7970 REF is total crap in terms of "sound"...couldn't even hear the card benching for more than 10 minutes...just insane!

DCUII 7970 was much better but still can't get "a feeling" for AMD cards...driver suck, tools suck, past 1200 sucks, sucking sucks...

Does anyone believe there might be a paperlaunch of GK110 in December 2012? With no or extremely limited availability of course.

[NapalmV5]

already paperlaunched.. mid may

hardlaunch: one day you wake up and boom it has landed

A whitepaper about the architecture for partners/developers is a far cry from a paper launch.
It's only a paper launch when they send cards to reviewers.
I don't even think they have taped out yet.

GK110 is slated to show up as a tesla unit in october. I seem to recall reading that GK110 taped out back in january though, and a quick google search backs up that thought.

As such, bringing it out as a non-paper launch wouldn't be too hard this year.

According to my info they have, in March.
January is not correct, there was a confusion about tape out vs. finishing the design. The design was finished in December/January, tapeout was in March.
