GTX 680 Release Date?

[Don Karnage]

When is the tentative date on which everyone assumes Kepler will be released? This week? Next?

 

[Aeiou]

The 22nd or 23rd of march is looking at a possible paper launch, actual release date is yet unknown, as is price and pretty much most things about the card.

 

[Keysplayr]

There are also several other dates mentioned as well as a possible hard launch.

So you're guess is as good as anyone's.

 

[Nintendesert]

I'm going to go with April 2nd!

:sneaky:

 

[blackened23]

Chiphell is saying 27th or 28th. It may not be available on the 23rd, but that is another rumor.

 

[deadken]

I was assured that it'd be readily available a day earlier then that!

I'm going to go with April 2nd!

The Universal Truth is 6:00 am PT (USA), 2:00 pm UTC (UK), March 22nd.

2 locked gtx680 threads in 2 days,some people actually reading them for useful information myself included.

So where does one turn for this useful information if threads keep getting locked?

Just be patient and wait for the real reviews. If rumors are right, the GTX 680 launches in a week or so, so we'll soon see reviews on all the major review sites up.

I recommend:

1. Anandtech.com (the main site, not the forums) - technical info and synth benches

2. Hardocp.com - real-life gameplay with time charts

Techpowerup and Hardwarecanucks can serve to add more info, but really all you need is AT and [H] to get a good sense of the market.

One clue is that Sabre PC has a contest for a 680 which ends on March 27th:

Someone please remind ABT about EVGA GTX 460 FTW card that was sent to review sites on the eve of HD 6870/6850 launch to rain on that parade.

Gosh how one-sided people forget information when feeding their minions.

IF AMD sends out OC'ed HD 7970's to rain on GTX 680 launch I expect to see the opposite reaction from people back when AT included the GTX 460 FTW.

That thread is still here for people to read - remember who cried and who cheered.

 

[skipsneeky2]

Would not shock me Railven if AMD is cooking up a good mature processed 7970 with over the top clocks,28nm is impressive.

Wonder how far they can go?1400mhz on the core?2,000 on the memory?

I wouldn't hold my breath for a 7970+, getting CI out as fast as possible is far more important for AMD's long term survival than one-upping Nvidia. No point to waste R&D time, when AIB's are willing to do that for them.

 

[SHAQ]

I am going to guess the NDA lifts on the 23rd and availability on the 27th.

Don't forget about HAWKS 2 demo as well. We'll see if the new AMD CEO is sleazy enough to match that one. Peronally, I wouldn't be surprised.

Can't stand fanboys,i usually have bought nvidia cards till the 7970 came out,it was to awesome to pass up,i bought one and now i hope the gtx680 just drives the 7970 into the ground.

Either the 7970 gets a price cut and i get brave maybe later on doing crossfire or the gtx680 just blows the 7970 away and i switch over,pure performance is usually what drives me to a card and the best card with a strict budget.

It is a hobby for me and i think for most,but why it gets personal is really beyond me.

What is this you speak of? AMD is the evil corporation and nvidia is a beacon of light in this world, they shall bring us world peace. Amen.

They are tying their own self image to the accomplishments of others. It is pathetic but amusing if you consider many of them look down on sports fans who act the same way.

Give it a rest. You're seeing enemies where there are none. I think s/he provided relevant information in a non-fanboy/fangirl-ish way. If you don't think the information is valuable, that's fine, criticize the message. But attacking the messenger is against the rules of the forum, especially against new forumers. How'd you like it if you just joined and that was your first post and the first guy that responds to you calls you a nvidia marketer?
