NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 Launch Video Leaked: World's Fastest GPU

btarunr · Mar 21, 2012, 07:09 PM

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 don't remember nvidia making launch videos for past generations, or maybe I missed them?

Nice video but very heavy on marketing, although that's normal considering it's an official promo.

xkche · Mar 21, 2012, 07:14 PM

Wow!!!

Just 1 day to see if this is true!

Shake the market nvidia, give us a price war

erixx · Mar 21, 2012, 07:15 PM

where that a pair of Mailmen with the triple monitors? hehehehe

badtaylorx · Mar 21, 2012, 07:16 PM

video works.....i want one!!!

MxPhenom 216 · Mar 21, 2012, 07:16 PM

jesus this thing is nuts! I WANT ONE! maybe 2

amdftw · Mar 21, 2012, 07:19 PM

The question is how much faster???
1-5%-FAIL!, 6-10%-so,so , 11-15%-enough, 16-20%-good , 21+%-perfect

Rahmat Sofyan · Mar 21, 2012, 07:20 PM

If you want to download those video, I guess this is the original link

Launch
Boost

Already have them, just waiting for the cards to hit the retail channel.

Looks like Nvidia has a winner here, fast efficient, and hopefuly, if the rumors are true, priced to kill.

I wouldnt call any percentage of being faster a fail when its a much smaller and efficient chip then the 7970

Benetanegia · Mar 21, 2012, 07:32 PM

I want that fracture thing on games, everywhere, right now. That's what I've been waiting for almost a decade.

Yea, that's actually an amazing feature. I find just about everything in the video appealing, TXAA looks great, the dynamic fracturing could be a game changer, and the new fur mechanics could really help insert realism into games. If this thing is priced at $499, oh boy...

ZoneDymo · Mar 21, 2012, 07:36 PM

Great an all but why does that fur demo look so bad?

None of that matters. Price matters. Smaller doesn't necessarily mean efficient either.

xNinjaSkillz · Mar 21, 2012, 07:43 PM

Does anyone know if the new card will be available at microcenter right away? I've never checked after launch to see how soon they get them.

Holy crap, it clocks high when TDP lets it. Boost to 1200MHz in Heaven bench, at stock settings.

Well, that depends on game devs right?

And what about the dynamic clocks? That's pretty heavy stuff, from the graph the highest I've seen was 1.12 GHz - are these considered stock clocks in benchmarks? Does it run at default voltage?

BumbleBee · Mar 21, 2012, 07:55 PM

Tebow time for nVidia

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Mar 21, 2012, 07:56 PM

What exactly is the point of GPU boost over just overclocking it full time?

Your card won't be stressed as much I suppose, and lower power consumption. Not every game needs a high overclock all the time.

Better efficiency and IIRC they also claim better/smoother overall gameplay
