An alleged marketing video of NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 680, slated for after launch, got leaked and uploaded to YouTube by an Italian-speaking YouTube user (going by the Italian used in the description). The part that makes it look genuine is it features NVIDIA's VP for Corporate Marketing Ujesh Desai, holding the graphics card, and detailing it. He claims that NVIDIA set out to build the fastest GPU - "and accomplished it." The entire bouquet of new features introduced with the GeForce GTX 680 has been disclosed in the video, to great detail.

Watch the video (embedded from YouTube) after the break.

I like the price. I'll wait for W1zzards review, but I may be buying nVidia cards this generation.

I was hoping to use EVGA's Step Up program, but I have had my 2 GTX 580's for over a year and a half:(
Might have to sell the 580's and buy two of these...
Might wait to see what the G110 will bring to the table.
MetalRacerNewegg had some cards posted, but took them down.

15th WarlockI received that same email about an hour ago and keep trying to open the link on their webpage but I get no results in the custom search, do you have a direct link to the 680s by any chance? thank you

Sadly Newegg has taken down the cards from their web page they only allowed very few people to buy cards for about 5-10min. I have seen only one persons order go through.

Is the whole line launching tomorrow? As in the 670, 660, etc? I am interested in how a 660 would perform.

amdftwThe question is how much faster???
Technically it makes no difference. PRMan in vid says fastest GPU. 1006MHz core and 6008MHz memory (effective) make the claim valid for a stock card. Try not to overthink PR-speak

If you save the page source and retype some text and load it you can make any site say anything.

The performance numbers are in line more or less with what we've seen with other leaks, anyway what I want to see is how much of an overclock headroom is left in this chip because in the end that's what it is going to make the difference between GK104 and Tahiti.

Stock clocks performance doesn't mean anything, atleast to me.

Yup, almost the same with the other leaked benchmark, this is a big question, because previously msi HD7970 can reach 1800MHz core clock and 1925MHz memory clock...still waiting for next couple hours

i guess theres reports that it can do 1200mhz on the core with no voltage adjustments and such.

If there weren't a lot of ocing headroom GPU Boost wouldn't be possible. Common sense says it will OC just fine.

will it?
assuming GPU Boost already took an advantage of that 'headroom', i kinda doubt OCing it further will result in great performance scaling like on tahiti. ah, can't wait for wizz's review :banghead:
