Anyone Know When The Next Gen Nvidia Cards Are Being Released

[shaithis]

When I did even imply that?

And that matters why exactly?

*YAWN* Guessing your on someones PM list for "bitching about people and their posts behind their backs".....

If you want to pick faults, pick them for a reason, rather then just because you feel compelled to. Arguing for the sake of arguing - what pure win /sarcasm

What are you on about? Read back my posts, I was debating your opinion that the 680 supposedly not being a flagship card somehow makes it more impressive. My argument being, the pricing and the fact that, well, it IS their flagship card. Sure, there will be faster cards around the corner, but their always is, from BOTH brands.

Edit: And after reading back through, I still can't find anywhere I state the 7970 is better than the 680?

How about answering my comments rather than arguing for the sake of arguing?

i asked yoyotech but they don't seem to have any fixed dates, possibly 30th March.

First AIB partner designs announced, inlcuding a 4GB model:

I wonder how much the 4GB models will cost??

You asked them what? Confused.

They can charge rediculous amounts as people who need super hi-res and NVIDIA would need it, and epeen "I MUST HAVE BEST NUMBERS" people will buy.

Most complaints were aimed at limited, and now complicated, overclocking potential due to GPU Boost as currently, there is no way to disable it. This will certainly upset many enthusiasts and overclockers as currently you can only set the GPU to +549MHz clock offset that the dynamic overclocking algorith will try to respect.

Kinda the opposite to the 7970. I forsee super-7970 editions (maybe 7975 or 7980?) with big overclocks being more competitive to the 680

The NUMBERS MASTER!! I still see the HD7970 6GB being the RAM MASTER though!!

One last thing....

16.)Has backlit GEFORCE GTX logo on the top of the card

Do we know yet?

Alas,this did not make the cut it seems!! I suspect it would have increased the power consumption too much!!

Some more information about further Kepler releases:

"Hi there

I've had access to roadmaps for sometime and have access to the latest.

GTX 680 was intended for March/April, it is now here. Fact is NVIDIA were always intending to release GTX 680 class card now, yes the spec may have changed but this has always being scheduled launch for their top-end GTX 680 product.

Cards that will come next shall be 670Ti and 670, expect them around May time, maybe end of April, these shall both be slower than GTX 680 obviously.

GTX 680 2GB, aimed at 7970.
GTX 670ti replaces GTX 580 and shall also be 2GB at £320ish range, it will take on 7950 3GB.
GTX 670 replaces GTX 570 and no doubt 2GB also, expect £239.99 and well slightly faster than GTX 570.

GTX 560Ti and 560 are not due to be replaced until much later in the year.

All low-end, 520/550 etc. shall be re-branded into 6xx series, same cards just re-boxed as 6 series with slightly bumped clock speeds.

A dual GPU based card could and can be released when NVIDIA desire to do so, most likely called GTX 690.

Again GTX 680 is flagged on the roadmap as fastest single GPU card, will a faster single GPU card come this year. Well I guess that depends if NVIDIA feel they need one and if they do I suspect October-December timeframe.


What we can expect in April/May is AIB's making much faster and higher TDP varients of GTX 680.

Don't be surprised to see cards like EVGA GTX 680 Superclocked 4096MB soon with twice memory and higher clock speeds for £500-£600 region."

[watercooled]

Sounds about right, but in that case, the larger die would be competing more with 8000 series and it would make more sense if it were called the 780 or something. Just because it's Kepler doesn't mean it will immediately follow the 680, just like how 480 and 580 were both Fermi.

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

I am not sure if this is the appropriate thread to post this in,but there is some noise about a new HD7970 SKU:

HD7980??

[kalniel]

Yup that roadmap sounds about right to me, AMD are very lucky indeed that they're being given time to shift the rest of the range without competition (I notice the 7870 has actually gone up in price slightly - it won't get any competition until the 670 comes out). If nVidia are only targeting 580 and 570 performance as well then AMD are in a good position (of course, nVidia should be able to beat 580 and 570 performance with cut down GK104s, so it depends how much they are cutting them down.. I would guess 700mhz core and around 5ghz ram for the ti model.. maybe 7 of 8 SMX clusters?)

690 vs 7990 could be interesting - the latter is probably nearly ready to go, while I doubt the former is.

[watercooled]

Exactly what I expected to happen, as I've posted. They've not left themselves much naming space though!

[Hicks12]

As long as AMD call it a 7980 and dont do a ninja clock on the 7970 its all game. I can expect more than 1ghz though, surely by now the process would be a bit more mature that yields improved further and its more likely a 1.1Ghz version to launch and tbh that would destroy the 680, the 7980 would be faster and everything and just lack the decent power efficiency it normally has.
