If Kepler performs as well as the previews would have us believe, they probably won't be able to give away the rest of their 5xx series cards. I anticipate another major price slash after the 6xx cards are released.

Here's a review of what's important to us: Compute performance. Looks like double-precision has gotten *no* love:

Edit: also, newegg appears to be out of stock already.

Shhh... don't tell that to my little ION GPU! It doesn't support double-precision but crunches Seti beautifully!:D


True, we don't need DP over here, but it might mean a re-shuffling of priorities for some apps that do utilise DP.

Guru of 3D posted their review of the GTX680 today:

http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-680-review/

EVGA has it listed as:

[url]http://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=02G-P4-2680-KR&family=GeForce 600 Series Family&sw=[/url]

There is also a new Precision tool from EVGA called EVGA Precision X that's geared specifically toward the 680 (ver 3.0.1), but is backward compatible thru the 200 series. This will be the new look of tool as there will no be further upgrades to the legacy version of the tool.


I don't buy computers, I build them!!

The comments didn't speak too highly of the 480's. Heck, with some water cooling, and a huge overclock, they can hold their own.....:D

I have been waiting for the 79xx price`s to fall after nvidia`s 6xx came out,
As it says in the article they have taken their time about it,
They have to cash in on it if sale`s are good.

The AMD Radeon HD7990will be released to the wild on 17th April @ $849

Expensive ... I wonder if there are takers?
It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

Not me,
It will not fit in the case.
