Cheapest 3gb GTX 580 I see there is 549.99. Same price as the 7970. I guess that would be helpful for anyone doing 3d surround resolutions eh.
gtx 580 is ~ $35 cheaper than the 7950. That seems to be a fair amount, 7950 is slightly faster and it is slightly more expensive.
He was doing the exact same thing with the pre-released rumors of Tahiti specs. He kept repeating that the specs were final and were accurate.... turns out he was wrong there.

And they were, except for the XDR2 RAM.
But hey, keep deflecting!
Look, either admit that you do not know, or tell us exactly how you do know.
Enough is entirely enough. And my friend, a "feeling" isn't going to cut it.
OMG this is going to be so good. I mean if those numbers are indeed true and GK104 is indeed the performance part and not high end. I think a big upset is on it's way. Gut feeling.
Going to have to agree with Keyplayr here we have no idea what is in production or what is not. Who knows maybe they are stockpiling GTX 680s right now for an April launch .
From the same person who said:

I don't even know what this is supposed to mean.Jen-Hsun Huan said:And this is a world-class company. And Morris and the management team are all over it, and they're doing everything in their power, and if history is any indication and it tends to be, they're going to work their way into a fabulous node here any time.
You do know the top GPU featuring GK104, the one that will probably be launched in April, will also probably be called the GTX 680, right?
There's no reason to call it GTX 660 when you're not gonna release anything higher than it for 6+ months.
Translation: TSMC has really screwed the pooch, but I'm certain they will sort it out soon.
Seems unlikely, especially given other details. Other companies haven't been complaining about yields and we already know that GK100 has been canceled. Other nVidia chips may be having similar problems, ergo the yield problems. My best guess is that their design is overly ambitious, which makes sense if even Charlie of all people is saying it's really good, but runs into issues when theory meets practice.
If it's only marginally better than a 7970, they're really going to tarnish their brand. The X80 GPUs from nVidia have almost always been the best single GPU card that you could buy at a given time, and usually be an appreciable margin.
It would be much better to release a competitive product (or even a worse one) as the 660. Even if it's not as good as the 79XX series, it will let people know that nVidia's performance card is in the same league as AMD's top card and that nVidia's best card is going to be nothing less than amazing.

Isn't that almost always the case? with the exception of duds like P4 which are slower then their predecessor, every new GPU or CPU architecture was "the best ever made" when released.Nvidia says Kepler is the best graphics processor ever designed by the company.
^In bold.
It means you Fail.
We can play this game all night long, but at the end of day only one of us gets paid, or receives "gifts", in some way by a graphics card manufacturer.
Both Keysplayr and LOL_Axel are stating their opinions, should them be biased or not, I won't judge.
The problem is, Axel sometimes states it as a fact (we don't know if it is right or not, all that we have are rumors).
This debate is unproductive and stupid, as a community, could we please move on?
As of 18th February 2012,
GK100 being scrap = rumor
GK104 being the GTX680 = rumor
GK104 faster than Tahiti = rumor
Kepler desktop launch = unknown
Kepler in production = confirmed
Which Kepler in production = unknown
"if" and "I think" are speculative descriptors. You can't play any games at all because your game ended with this, "Because it IS a fact."
And it wasn't. It's not that you don't understand, it's that you refuse to let others know you understand. I get it.

I pulled two things from that article:
1. Kepler is in production.
2. Yields/Problems aren't as bad as Fermi.
Did I read that wrong? It's at least solid information for a change and not all that bad.
.................aaaaaaaaaand kepler is a no show at the EVGA pdx lan
I'm only translating from business talk to plain speak what JHH was saying. I'm not surprised that there are difficulties on a new node, but it does seem that nVidia continues to push the envelope too far. I believe the fault lies with nVidia not being able to design their GPU's to be manufacturable because the process needs to mature to meet their designs.
