Not off hand, just going by what info I've garnered from Beyond3D and other places. Let's put it this way, there is no way Nvidia was going to let AMD have the Eyefinity like market to themselves for another generation, so I have no doubt the 680 will support 3+ displays.
The real question is in what state of development would it be too late for Nvidia add a feature like tri-monitor support.But didn't they start designing Kepler prior to the announcement of Evergreen?
I buy what I like, I am brand agnostic with few exceptions. My avatar, I'm using it cause I like it, hats off to whoever did the original image great stuff.
I like it too
it looks like an image of a Japanese monk (notice duality,ying-yang),
who has after life-long mediation period, achieved profound inner balance, utterly incomprehensible to western civilization
But didn't they start designing Kepler prior to the announcement of Evergreen? I'm pretty confident but not 100% confident that it's something they could "drop into" the hardware in the middle of designing it, hence my asking.
Anyone else find it amazing that Nvidia and AMD always end up with similar performance despite this? I mean, we have 2 companies with different engineers who come up with completely different architectures, with no clue what the competitor is doing, and yet, they always end up within 10-15% of each other... (bar the occasional disaster...)
Then again, they both have the same human and technological limits, so I guess it makes sense in a way

Come on dude. If Bofox was instead posting how awesome he thought the 7970 was, would you be saying boo to him right now?

No, because every single poster here that dares say something NOT glowing about nvidia is absolutely an AMD marketer. Thats what people at another board think, although its cool because its mostly a circle jerk between the same 10 posters over there talking about how much AMD sucks and how Nvidia will save the world. :thumbsup: This is the home of AMD viral bro
AMD spends at least 2 hours every morning posting on BB's, i'm sure they have nothing better to do.
PS. Nvidia will cure cancer and have a solution for homeless and hungry people with the release of Kepler. They will save the world from all wrongs. There, is that better? This is the posting model that we should all emulate here.
Do you post over at ABT? I don't, but I've seen posts there directly accusing this forum of being an AMD shill haven, bought and paid for.I think some posters may believe there may be shills...

BTW, the real reason I changed my avatar is some jackass named grstanford over at ABT stole the one I made.
Isn't it 6 months between tap out and release? That's assuming no bugs, right?
That would give the GK104 about four months soaking up huge profits, Nvidia won't be happy until BigK hits even if their mid ranged die beats AMD's best, neither will many of us.
It can't ruin a product that was intended to replace a $250 part.
Looks like AMD woefully over estimated their products or assumed Nvidia was going to be 6 months late, with another GF100 type card they could bank on initial reviews tainting an otherwise great product.
I can't help but feel you may have watched a few too many movies. I happen to like my western culture.
You have to be smoking crack if you think that nVidia will put a $300 MSRP on these cards.
Ooof. Don't break your keyboard, man. Chill, Winston.
LMAO!!! Five straight messages now with all deflect, BS, and straight up false accusations. :thumbsup: Awesome work!
Take it easy with the cynicism.. your accusation is going nowhere. All I did was state a few reasons why I think GTX 680 would be awesome, that's it. There's no reason for you to defend yourself in your own strawman argument that you set up.
+1 to this. Then he made a thread over at ABT complaining about those guys. Man, does ABT produce anything worth wild? Woof.QUOTE]
I've been over to ABT somewhat recently, and well, its majorly nvidia shady. Is it still the original founder or did he relegate it to someone else.....? Anyone know for sure?
SirPauly why don't you ever answer any questions posed to you? I suppose you won't answer this one either.
Frankly, I'm surprised that you think GTX 680 is going to be "awesome", assuming it is GK104 of course (at least most people from both camps seem to agree on THAT). A highly overclocked/overvolted gtx 560 ti would be competitive with 6970 at lower resolutions, why couldn't NV take the gtx 560 ti's 28nm replacement and basically overclock/overvolt it to keep it competitive with the 6970's replacement? All NV needs is a placeholder until the big monster hits. Even if you strongly favor NV, which many people here do, it seems that you would want to wait for the "gtx 780" or whatever they end up calling bigK.
hahaha
