Both AMD and NVIDIA can take a run and jump, I am not buying any of their overpriced cards since they think they can stick it to the consumer and coerce on price fixing the high end. :slap:

Not too mention this was slated to be the mid raqnge and had it of been it would of been a worthy upgrade to my 570, as it stands I am not into spunking $500 on GPU's

erixx · Mar 22, 2012

It is well into day 22 so what? I don't believe in that one time zone for the whole world crap

the54thvoid · Mar 22, 2012

Conclusion: "This card is a problem for AMD. Not only is it really fast but it does what AMD does best. Comes in at an aggressive price point, an area that AMD has always excelled in.... You;re probably going to want a GTX 680."

And this from a site that obviously doesn't get on well with Nvidia.

epic wizz, hahaha!!!

Nvidia wins again

Shurakai · Mar 22, 2012

Power consumption and heat could be better but I'll definitely grab one. It'll replace my 7970 if the 12.4 preview drivers don't stop my tiny flickers I get in games.

GC_PaNzerFIN · Mar 22, 2012

At least they should do the benchies with the proper 300.99 drivers. Kinda defeats the whole purpose to leak everything out but do it all wrong.

Frizz · Mar 22, 2012

My wallet just had the biggest sigh of relief, I've been hating on the 7970's price lately, I'm hoping to see an all out price war, good timing too

. Holding my judgement til I see W1zzards review, so far so good tho!

Mine just tried to hide under sofa, you can run but you can't hide!

You need to restore to the argument: I am spending a sh1tload of buck on a GTX680 in order to save the world from global warming and reduce our rising electricity bills, darling!

Nice amount of info. It'd be interesting to know why it does so poorly (all things considered) in Metro 2033 and AvP?

Also, I'm gaming at 2560x1440, it appears to lose steam at the higher resolutions. Not to say it's bad mind! Good card.
