Thanks for the excellent review W1zzard, as always, very thorough

I have a question, now that NDA has lifted, do you know when the card is officially available for sale? It's past 6am PMT and Newegg is yet to show any results.

Thank you once more

mtosev · Mar 22, 2012, 01:08 PM

the card got 9.5 and the editor's choice award.nice gfx by nvidia

Mindweaver · Mar 22, 2012, 01:09 PM

Great review!

Now let the price wars begin! I want a 580 for around $200.. hehehe

Supercrit · Mar 22, 2012, 01:11 PM

Now AMD has to drop prices due to nvidia being cheaper, on what earth are we living on now?

Yellow&Nerdy? · Mar 22, 2012, 01:14 PM

Great review as always from W1zzard. Not really sure what advantages the dynamic overclocking brings, but overall the card seems pretty good. 5 - 10% faster than the 7970, with less power consumption and a lower price puts quite some pressure on AMD to lower the price of their top cards. Now I'm hoping that Nvidia releases some more affordable cards, so that we can get a full on price war.

okidna · Mar 22, 2012, 01:14 PM

Great review!

Also thorough explanation about the new overclocking method.

Great card too.

Well done NVIDIA, this time there will be no keplerishotbbqgrill jokes anymore

jpierce55 · Mar 22, 2012, 01:17 PM

An Earth when AMD knew Nvidia would be a little late and took advantage. If we see a price war we will know that for truth. I wonder what we can expect on their mid range card.

Crap Daddy · Mar 22, 2012, 01:17 PM

As I understood well, the max OC with this card, from a traditional POV is around 1300MHz (1150 plus offset 150 MHz)?

Dear Wizzard,

Do you think I should dump my two 7970's with two EK Nickel Acetal blocks, two EK back plates in exchange for two GTX 680's? I have a Corsair 800D case, and it gets hot it there; therefore, I thought about watercooling my cards. The current catalyst is a little clunky and pain in my butt on boot up, as the eyefinity wont shift to arranged monitor when it boots Up, as I have to fire up the catalyst controller for it to work. Anyways, sorry for the rant, but I feel bummed out or am I wrong for feeling this way? I think I got the very short end of the stick performance and quality component wise. Not wealthy by any means, but the cost of the cards is not a concern to me.

Thanks,

Fairlady-Z.

DarkOCean · Mar 22, 2012, 01:19 PM

Ok card but the dynamic oc seems like a pain in the ass to me.
I would have liked to see 7870 on those graps as well, why isnt there?

LifeOnMars · Mar 22, 2012, 01:19 PM

Killer product, great job Nvidia. Also a very thorough review Wizz and Kudos for adapting and including the new features that Kepler brings.

I want SLI cards of these bad boys now and thats what I'm saving for.

Ahead somewhat in raw performance over the 7970, still a bit ahead in perf/watt, way ahead in perf/$.

prices are the same in the uk for 680 & 7970 atm

Psychoholic · Mar 22, 2012, 01:31 PM

Hmm.. so 6% (Avg) over 7970, guess i don't have a reason to go jump on one of these, was kinda hoping I would be compelled hell might just order one to play with

I'd like to see a comparison with 7970 at the same clocks though, should be pretty close clock for clock.

That's because new products prices are always inflated they will become lower eventually.

Yeah, very soon AMD will have to cut their asking price of the 7970 to below £400 to stay competitive. Not everyday your opponent comes up with a product which is faster, consumes less power and cheaper at the same time.

GTX 680 is very price competitive, as you just saw.
