nVidia Kepler GTX700 (600?) series info here ->

No matter what, you'd still get better performance with a pair of 680's..

Agreed. But cooling one card vs two makes a diff for waterblocks, which helps on overclocking. And SLI on two 680's means you pretty much have to watercool, the first card in most mobos get VERY hot. Get a 690, stays cool, or WC and buy one WC block and possibly get better clocks on the 690 at a cheaper cost.

You need to remember for a system like a p67-z68 and the new 77's, they all have limited bus bandwith compared to a socket 2011 system or x58. Throw in that most people dont have triple and quad sli capable systems. So going with a dual card setup is a better option vs a quad card setup for them.

I haven't look into how they are doing SLI and pcie bridging on the 600 series cards yet but i am making the assumption that they are capable of new pcie3.0 on the card (would be kinda pointless if they didn't right).

Come on hurry it up already... wit 660 / ti, bring dem dam GPU pricy's down

It has been revealed by Andrew Gibson aka Gibbo (OCUK Owner/Manager) that NVIDIA won’t be launching the Mid-Range GeForce GTX 660Ti till Q3 2012. When asked about the availability of NVIDIA’s upcoming GTX 670 and GTX 660Ti graphic cards, Gibbo unveiled that the 660Ti is approximately 6 months away from launch whereas the 670 launches this month.

Doesn't directly affect me (although considering it could drop prices elsewhere...)..

I don't want to pay £180 for a 7850 even if it is worth that, at this rate i'm going to start using that money for a new cooler and some more RAM

 

[micjmac]

I don't think I can wait 6 months for a price drop lol. I've been putting up with bad graphics in BF3 for too long. Unless I let D3 distract me for 6 months, but can my system even play that on max? Should I just upgrade to a 7850 now or is there a better option for me?

Used GTX580?

I buy used for daily use, far cheaper.

 

[micjmac]

Can that be had circa $260? I'm on a budget...sorta lol

That looks difficult.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-GTX580...559?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item2a1cb6e49f

But there is one for $300 here if you can come up with a little more cash, or try to blag Lukee to do it for less.

I would keep an eye on the various places of the used market (the classies here and elsewhere). I've seen 580s get as low at $280.

Is there even a reason to buy a 580 anymore with the 78xx series GPU's? 1200 core overclocks, 2GB of Vram put a hurting on them.

 

[micjmac]

Amazon won't ship them for 2-4 weeks though. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with TigerDirect's return policy. And Newegg is sold out!

Trades blows... trades blows...with the 7870 coming out slightly on top in a some cases, especially with that heavy overclock (assuming its stable and you can run like that).

 

[ivanlabrie]

Only thing is price, and brand preference between those two I guess. Extra vram might appeal some bf3 junkies and might come in handy if you intend to use a 2560x1440/1600p monitor with a dual 7870 setup eventually.

Good point, A brand new Dual Fan Asus 7870 is $350 and tantalizingly close to the GTX 580 in performance, but as good value as they are its not $260.

1100 core? That's it?

This was announced today and someone over at HWBot hit 1400 core on air with it

Jezz s#it..... these card do overclock very well.

Anyway lets not hijack the nVidia thread

 

[Bobnova]

Let's also not forget that we don't know what the ambient temps were, nor the core voltage
