Expected Retail price is £320, Performance levels close/better to the HD7950 sound pretty good for that price range.
BTW! If you notice the Speed Boost slide, you may note the frequency going past 1.1GHz. Now this is definitely an amazing feature.
Can't wait to see reviews tomorrow morning :D
Finally something official! :D
The site just posted this:
Update 2: Updated with 2560×1600 Res Benchmarks, GTX 680 still strong with a VRAM of 2GB!
Now this is pretty amazing that GTX 680 with its 2GB Vram still edges past the HD7970 3GB and performance almost near the dual chip flagship parts which are 4GB+ monsters.
NVIDIA has Winrar!
Fudzilla also reporting that the card would be priced at $499.
That Performance/Watt!
Plus for user questioning the performance of this GPU, The GK104 was actually a Mid-Range product previously known at the 660Ti - Later changed to 670Ti and now 680.
The reason of this change was that NVIDIA saw that its Mid Range products were performing equivalent to the HD7900 GPU's so they positioned the GK104 against it.
Also note that the Dual GPU is also based on the same GK104 chips which arrives later in...
The GTX 680 has a TDP of 195W, You can see a chart posted in the article which shows that Power Consumption is relatively lower than the HD 7970 at stock clocks.
As far as overclocking is concerned:
It seems that air-cooled limit is expected to be superior to 1.4GHz

Till 1080P does 460's would server you well but beyond that and with the addition of 3D Vision you would have to upgrade to a better GPU.
Changing to a Core i7 Ivy Bridge CPU would be a nicer choice since it has better performance over FX-Bulldozer CPUs.
As far as GPU goes, Make sure you play on a higher res monitor if you're gonna spend on a GTX 680. Its meant for Enthusiast level gaming. For the performance segment cards, you gotta wait a bit more.
I think it was just an engineering sample with the potential to unlock into 680 since both are based on the same GK104 chip.
Various sources are confirming that GTX670Ti was an internal name used by NVIDIA, It would actually be called GTX680 but that doesn't rules out the possibility of a GTX670 Ti.
It may arrive but a bit late in April 2012.

If Doom 4 is the sequel to Doom 3 then it id needs some work to be done on the story.
If its a sequel to Doom - Hell on Earth (Original Doom Reboot) then i think i have to agree with your post.
Quake series was a great example of fast paced FPS's.
I don't care what platform it leads on, I just want id not to fuck up with Doom 4.
Doom series is an FPS masterpiece and a legend. They should take their time in developing a good game/good port that plays and runs well.
Not a hurried mess that RAGE was. Seriously if they had added a rich storyline and optimized for us PC audience then even that game would have become a success.
But nevertheless, My hopes are still high - An optimized 60...
Bethesda is the publisher, The game is still being developed by id.
Repost!
Doom 4 - Hell on Earth.
I bet wasteland would also be made into an FPS just like the Fallout Series, MP "Only" sounds pretty interesting.
Although you are right about Nvidia's previous generation branding schemes i still have to disagree with your post.
NVIDIA hasn't confirmed what it would be naming the new GPU's hence this is just your speculation based on previous GeForce 200/400/500 Series numbering schemes.
With kepler its bound to change (I may be wrong), You see both GTX670/680 are based on the GK104 core which is more of a performance segment chip, Your numbering scheme sug...
No, The GeForce GTX580 replacement would be the GK110/100 chip which is expected to launch in Q3/Q4 2012.
This is the 560Ti's successor with performance on par or greater than GTX580.
GTX460 was the replacement to GTX260 however its performance matched that of GeForce GTX285.
Its the replacement for GTX560Ti.
If implemented in other titles, PhysX can provide a more immersive experience/improvement over DirectX 11 and tessellation.
Games like Batman AC, Alice Madness Returns, Cryostasis and even a few maps from UT3 show the real potential of what PhysX can achieve in revolutionizing PC Gaming.
AMD does it too but through CPU processing, Why not just put that part of the work load on the GPU? There's a huge difference in between AMD's side of Havok Physics ...
