NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 rumors
The price is similar and the performance / consumption ratio is better than the AMD Radeon HD 7970.
Based on Fuji’s unconfirmed information, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 could get a $ 550 price tag that would effectively make it the opponent of the larger Tahiti core video card. Quite bold claims that the GK104-based Kepler card produces similar speeds as the Radeon HD 7970 - even better under DirectX 11 in theory - but its power consumption is slightly better. The card's TDP consumption can be around 200 watts (two 6-pin PCI Express power connectors?), So it's not worth expecting huge differences. Paddling to slightly more reliable waters: we learned the physical extent of the GK104 chip. By comparison, the chip is larger than the G92b, but smaller than the AMD Tahiti solution. Exact values have not yet come to light, but we believe the 320 square millimeter size seems like a good approach.
The GeForce GTX 680 is expected to be released on March 670rd. The card’s original name was GTX 7970 Ti, but after NVIDIA predestined the AMD Radeon HD XNUMX controller to a higher-than-expected performance level, it changed the name - at least based on rumors.
