GTX 680 benchmark fixed

[jryan388]

I was kinda bored, so I fixed that misleading 680 benchmark graph from the article for nvidia
not all that impressive anymore... only about 10% faster than the 7970 on average

10% faster is can be a lot, especially at a reasonable price. On that note, any idea on the Kepler series pricing?

This is the leak that is going around so here it is.

According to the graph it's going to be a tough sell, but if those newer figures are correct AMD is in for a nasty surprise, and I'm in for an upgrade to my 5750.

thanks I was looking for that

Those numbers are still deceptive because we have no knowledge of how the graphics settings were configured

 

[hellfire24]

if it's priced under $650 than it's good.it's not worth even worth 10 more bucks.

The Kepler is not going to be the god-card everyone seems to think it will be.

Not sure that chart is correct. Rumor has it the GK104 won't be the GTX660 after all, but the GTX680. It also has the "old" number of shaders listed. The "GTX680" (GK104 or GK110, not sure) is supposed to have 15xx+ shaders, not 1k+. Looks like a mix of old and new info.

There is no official pricing for the card but early reports has it falling around $500 dollars. Stay tuned for more coming soon!

If it really goes for around $500 it'll probably impact the price of the AMD 7000 series.

You can gurantee if the 680 beats the 7970 then the price will be more expensive. However, prices still could drop if 7970 lowers to compete on price rather then performance.

I think in the end prices will come to a halt around $450-500. But Nvidia is smart and so is AMD. Neither is going to release the card that trumps these until they have skimmed the market some.

there's also a matter of drivers. the 10% lead in performance could just melt away if AMD decide to do some big driver update on the same day or within a week of kepler release to keep the 7970 competitive (I know it's unlikely, but still possible). as it stands, the green team fans who's been holding out for kepler will definately go for it, but those of us who got sick of waiting and went for a 7970 or even 7950 will probably be willing to just sit on our tahiti cards and wait for AMD to fix their drivers. in the end, this late release will cost Nvidia some sales in my opinion

only about 10% faster than the 7970 on average

If the THG article is right about the $500 price, 10% more performance for 10% less money is slam dunk in my book.

Nvidia doesn't have the habit of releasing cards cheaper then AMD cards.

We are all a little concerned with what is, to what will be, and what has happened. The info that was given in another thread by another person and I posted it here and it comes form this web site.

It does bring a lot of questions. But the bottom line is we have to wait and see what will be will be. I know I wish that info would be true. It would mean the nVidia has out done AMD.

We just have to wait in see. Just a few weeks away.

amd is for poor ppl

^so why don't you get a 7970 quadfire?
