Ah, here's what I'm talking about. http://www.anandtech.com/show/5699/n...gtx-680-review In this article Anand refers to both a GK110 and a GK114 as "Big Kepler".
What I want to know (and no one seems to) is, when will these suckers hit the market, and how much $ above the 680 will they be?
I know i know! lol
August, at best. But seriously...those things will murder your electric bill. You're talking 250W - 300W just for the single GPU card....seriously...
BUT! You asked if anything new would appear in the next 2 or 3 weeks. Yes. And some good stuff, i might add. Hold on a sec while i dig up a link...

on the AMD side, they may get the 7990 out by then. no guarantees though

About 18 mins ago, PrimeGrid proved the GTX 680 to be about 40% slower in double precision than the 580. Good thing i fueled the flames on that one to get it done sooner rather than later. The test was done using the Genefer app's benchmark, not by running a Genefer WU itself, which eliminated any possible variances due to WUs being different lengths.
A link to the important part of the thread: Primegrid GTX680 vs GTX580 resultsOriginally Posted by Michael Goetz
For me im waiting for the nvidia to build up stock hopping that amd drops about $20-30 along with some rebate offers then im set but that might be just wishful thinking we will see. I would def give it a a few weeks to see how the market settles..
Okay another post from Robert of the Polish National Team:
He said that PG PPS sieve was 44% faster with his new 680 vs 570 BUT look at this on DirT
Unless they come out with a driver release that cuts loose the 64 bit and floating point math then this card isn't very good for crunching!DirT (N680 | N570):
mysqlsha1 3:28 2:30
md5-1 ~30 min 25:48
md5-2 ~30 min ~22 min
No good...
But that is not going to happen as it would tempt the commercial market to buy the cheaper consumer units.Originally Posted by Bryan;
Also for what they want for the 680 you could buy two 570s. This gives you two advantages. First, more credits then a single 680. And second, if one card fails you only loose 50% of your production. Compared to losing 100% of production if the 680 fails (And 1st gen tend to fail more often) I'd think its better to go the 570 route.
Zotac Prepares 2GHz GeForce GTX 680. Yes, Really.
Amount of memory, speed of memory are to remain the same. Connections are also expected to stay the same.Originally Posted by SoftPedia

And what kind of premium should one expect for the "godly" edition?
