What kepler similar in price with 560ti and 7850s?

[alex3064]

Which kepler 6xx will be about the same price as current 560ti and 7850?

will kepler be better than those when they are launched?

does keplar use more watt in both idle and load?

 

[simon12]

I don't think theres even rumours yet to even guess but I will anyway and say 660Ti or 660 launching in April-May.

I'd say the GT 650, I figure the GTX 660 would land closer to the 7870.


Edit: Nvm, was thinking performance-wise

And keep in mind: they overshot the GTX 680 by $150

heck yes, they owned 580 and amd 79xx so bad. hear in ROK, the flea-market price for those VGA dropped like crazy

Actually they didn't. The chart is right. It is just that nvidia used the 670 as the 680 because the kepler was performing so well against AMD. We haven't even seen the 680 in my opinion.

 

[alex3064]

if the 660 does launch this april or may, its similar to 580 with price around $320?
basically 7870 but cheaper and Nvidia version?

 

[sabot00]

That chart is incorrect, the GTX 680 has 1536 shaders, and has done away with a separate shader clock.

That chart seems to be a very basic rumor of nothing more than multiplying Fermi by 2.

Completely off-base.

so we don't know the actual stats until the company launches keplers?

 

[sabot00]

Kepler has already been launched in the GTX 680.

 

[llguitargr8]

I was just using the chart as a reference for price points.

That has always been the case with any new generation of products. The only thing you can do without a released product is make an educated guess nothing more. The product name that should fit in those spots are the 670 and 660 how will they be priced and how will they perform is anyones guess. All we know is they should perform similar and based on the power usage of the 680. They will likely use less power at load an more at long idle. Given that the long idle power usage of the 7970 is lower than the 680. Normal idle power usage will likely be similar though. (within a few watts).

Few reviewers hinting the 680 we see now was originally going to be the 660 and that "big kep" is still to come.

"some time in Summer, NVIDIA will release a new chip, the GK106, which will make up the GeForce GTX 660, which will be out to compete with Radeon HD 7850, and HD 7700 series."

so still very vague.
