Even if these cards are 10% across the board faster than a 7970, if they manage to do that with this die size, would make me loathe to buy them with the GK110 coming. ()
When anand has their review up I am hoping there will be some mention of future products. I don't mind to wait until the fall for a 500mm2 die x2 setup with this sort of perf/mm2
I'll wager they're going to make you wait a long while. Probably validate, test stockpile and go through tons of driver QA testing til they have a reason to launch that part. IF they even do. Nvidia reps already said this was it for the 600's and a gk104 dual board would be the top-end to challenge New Zealand. GK110 when timing is right for the GTX780. They probably have more PM this way. If it comes out, they you're going to be absolutely correct about 'fall' timeframe
To think theres a GK100/110 in a test lab somewhere right now with this kind of performance. What a shame.
Is it okay now to pay $550 for a mid-range card? :awe:
Yeah I noticed. I don't see any mention of price or how much it's ripping off people when it it's even cheaper to make than the 7970. R&D only cost like $5 anyway right?
I doubt we'll see any flak. With nVidia now giving their blessing to the new perf/price situation - magically it is more than acceptable and expect the "TAKE MY MONEY" memes to get posted around haha.
Either way, WTB GTX 670!
Yeah, a 670 is looking very appealing. Although that HP 27inch IPS on the AT front page is also very drool worthy. Can't get both though.
That graph is entire system power consumption
Actually, it kinda sucks cuz they have no reason to launch 110 now. ugh
I thought you already had a 7950 on the way.

My boss got it in on express shipping and told me I had to pay 50% of the shipping costs. Which is pretty high when it's coming from Taiwan to Namibia. So I cancelled the order. Still have the cash might just get a 7870 and a better monitor.

AMD only hope will be if GTX 680 does not oc as high and maybe they have been holding drivers improvements till now to counter Nvidias new toy.
With that power consumption and performance Nv has a winner
The vocal minority has 580s and 7970s, the vast majority of us do not.

No magic drivers are coming down the pike. AMD is not on the ropes. AMD is being administered a standing 8 count after taking a right hook to the chin.
