new Nvidia eye candy

[MANOFKRYPTONAK]

I have been considering getting another 680 for a while now. I have a vanilla EVGA, so it only has 2gb vram. I was wondering if I should get another 680 when the 700 series arrives, or could I SLI a 770 because it is a rebrand? Or should I sell it and get a 780. The 780 looks to me like what the 680 should have been. With 2496 cores (I believe or around there) and 5gb vram. Holy ScheiBe! I don't know how much of an expected increase I would see though going from a 680 to a 780. If my 680 had more vram I think I'd just stay with that and SLI no problem. But say the 780 is 20% better or 30% better would you guys consider upgrading?

I'd wait and see.

GK110 all the way! (GTX 780)
No you won't be able to SLI the GTX 680 and the GTX 770.

I figured that I wouldn't be able to... I know it used to be possible but you had to do a lot of work arounds. I was thinking maybe an ivy-e build with two 780s? 6 cores plus all that compute power, makes me smile just thinking about it : )

Till then just sit and wait to see how the actual market adjusts to the new linup. Expect prices for the 680 to drop.

 

[MANOFKRYPTONAK]

Hmm by how much do think the 680s will drop?

 

[nforce4max]

20 or 30% tops but likely 15% till stock starts to dry up. Second hand market is where the savings will be found but can't say how much.

So a 2gb vanilla 680 could be had for 350-400? thats not too bad

350 would be nice but in another year it will be going for what the 580 goes now. I am still stuck in the lowend and rebuilding my collection but one day it would be great to snatch up a 680 my self

Around $400 this summer till the end of the year but next year it will start to gradually declining.
