[Semiaccurate] GK104/Kepler/GTX680 Next Week?

[xxslay3rxx]

Zomg wheres the reviews?

 

[Arzachel]

What are you a fanboy? I can cherry pick benchmarks too (from that very same suite):

Civilization 5: GTX 590
Starcraft 2: GTX 590

HD6990: 0

Ouch?

I believe that was a response to X98. Neither GTX590 nor the HD6990 is objectively better, unless you play only specific titles or absolutely need CUDA for work.

And your response is a much better one than either of the other posts... :thumbsup:

Overclockers in UK just announced price cuts for GTX580/570/560 448....

amazon dropped its prices on the 580s they have in stock, fwiw

 

[Will Robinson]

How's this for objective then...

The value of the GeForce GTX 590 is questionable. It costs within $10 of the Radeon HD 6990 at $710 (depending on street prices), but we have seen more than not the Radeon HD 6990 offers better performance at that price.

When comparing value, the Radeon HD 6990 is a "better" card than the GeForce GTX 590.

We truly thought the GTX 590 was going to make the Radeon 6990 look bad, but the fact of the matter is that NVIDIA made the 6990 look that much better. The GTX 590 is not the "World's Fastest Single Card Solution" as stated on our page 1 slides; the Radeon HD 6990 is very much retaining that title. Hail to the King, baby!

10 fps probably still looks better than CF microstutter.

Or SLI Microstutter for that matter.:sneaky:

I don't agree with that conclusion -- offering no competition would make the 6990 shine much more. The GTX 590 was indeed competition and more of a wash than a one-sided win either way.

Well, on launch it looked quite a bit worse for the GTX 590, but driver updates helped a lot. Also it seems like the later ones take better to overclocking.

Try doing a general comparison and you'll see the 6990 is way ahead in terms of numbers. Same anand benchmark suite-or is that too difficult for you? Are you an Nvidia Fanboy?

Why are we discussing 590 vs 6990 in this thread again? I must have missed something

 

[Trocien]

Arnt we supposed to be getting reviews today or something? At least a look of the dang thing.

Nope, not happening today

Since when have facts gotten in the way of *hope*?

Kindly ask Will Robinson. Unless im mistaken and somebody brought up
Dual gpu cards before him. Something about steamrollers and puppies.

A whole 10-15% price cut to make it even with a 7950. Woooh :hmm:

The more I think of it, it seems to be nvidia marketing drumming up hype again. Just like GTX 480. Bleh.

 

[96Firebird]

That way we can ward of AMD sales...

Prices of the cards are doing that just fine right now...

In before the edit! :thumbsup:

I'm surprised that the AMD vs Nvidia war is still going on forums. I've gone back and forth between the two companies for the last 10 years and get whichever is the best performers near the top. Recently went from an AMD 5890 to a Nvidia GTX 580 and was happy with each one and hopefully they both continue leap frogging each other for years to come. y

Your well thought, reasonable opinion is not welcome around these parts D:

He

Way ahead?

Do they teach you how to count in the UK? Those graphs above clearly show the 590 and 6990 on the same performance level for the vast majority of games. In cases were the 6990 wins, the difference is minor (less than frame per second in a few cases). However, when the GTX 590 wins, it wins hands down, especially in Civilization 5, Arkham City, Dirt 3, and Starcraft 2.
