If nvidia does carry a large premium for 28nm products we should consider that the rumors of 28nm wafer shortages to be true. If there are wafer shortages that means increased pricing to the consumer due to excess demand from quallcomm, amd, apple and nvidia for wafers.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that these companies don't want to charge this much but may have to out of necessity. If TSMC is charging them increased prices because of shortages, it is passed on to us. ** I do hope to be pleasantly surprised by GK104 performance or price
For some reason this remind me of a cartoon (that I can't find) with 3 business women in prison.
The first one says: "I'm in jail because I sold my products at a lower price than the competition" <- predatory pricing
The second one says: "I'm in jail because I sold my products at the same price as the competition" <- fixing
The third one says: "I'm in jail because I sold my products at a higher price than my competition" <- monopoly
Latest leaks of GK107 point to a very bandwidth-efficient Kepler. The GTX560Ti has significantly less bandwidth than the GTX285 and look how that turned out.

A guy on expreview, who claims to have a press kit and card in hand, is saying gk104 is now definitively faster than hd7970 in 3dmark11 with the upcoming 300 series drivers and has a TDP of 195 watts.

Not that I really care about 3dmark11, but it's a noticeable mention since last week when Kyle Bennet at [H] said last week that GK104 was behind in 3dmark11 and tessellation benchmarks but that Nvidia was still hard at work on drivers.

Just smokes, the update the bios and driver, 7 change to 8
This teeth almost Xiaodiao to.
The performance is really so strong, it can be to burn incense Huang.
Haha
Sounds like he has the 670 and with an updated bios/drivers he's beating the 7970. Or maybe he has a 670 and flashed it to a 680, lol I have no idea.
How does Obama fit into this?
lol I can't understand anything really, but the responses paint a picture I can read...
Sure enough, is 670Ti ... forward to 3K or so down interesting to see
There's almost no chance NV would price the only "high-end" product they have for the vast majority of this year at $300, that would be throwing money away.
Still, gk104 with its die size performing near 7970 is a very good design from NV. But at $500.. it's going to be so "meh" just like Tahiti is, ok if you're those "ultra-enthusiast" types who don't care for perf/$.
I think i'll just grab a 7870 if gk104 turns out to be that expensive.
Has keeping old gen cards ever looked like such a great idea or am I just being a tight @ss? I can't ever remember old gen cards actually be so competitive and a viable gaming solution.
Nice (If True).lol I feel you.
This was posted before the newer post where he's exclaiming even higher performance than the 7970 on his 670ti (/w a bios update and driver update).
680 -> X3200 3300
(7970) -> X2700 to 2800
670Ti -> X2500 to 2600
(7950) -> X2200 2300
I pull a gpu score of 3540 in X, but that is of course overclocked like hellspawn
it's notNice (If True).
Xiecai, Xiecai,
relative to 7970 for the advantages of the new stuff is as follows: low-voltage, high frequency (broken GHz), low power consumption low-noise, high-performance (the DX11), AA, and obtained the support of the business of the game.
7970 Xiecai Hey Ha Ha Ha Ha
