The 256 bit bus seems strange.

Some people are thinking that the GK104 will not only be faster than an HD7970(which is quite possible) but expect it to be...wait..for it............£200!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
If either company has the fastest card they are not going to charge £200 for it. So beware of people saying its a midrange part. Pricing will be dependent on what the competition has.
Maybe £300 to £350 if you are lucky and Nvidia feels they want to catch more of the market. A card much faster than a GTX580 3GB and HD7970 3GB at that price would be a decent seller and Nvidia would have no real reason to drop prices and neither would retailers. It would also make all the trickle down products faster than what AMD has too.
The 8800GTX,8800 Ultra, GTX280,GTX480 and GTX580 were all between £375 to £500 at launch. They were the fastest single GPU cards at the time. If Nvidia has a card which can beat an HD7970 3GB by a decent amount, and by that extension obliterate a GTX580 3GB they will NOT charge £200 going by prior history.
AMD didn't even do that with the HD5870 1GB which was between £300 to £350 at launch.

It seems the GPU is the GK110:

It looks like the counter to the HD7970 is the high-end GK110 and might not be the GK104.
Re: Anyone Know When The Next Gen Nvidia Cards Are Being Released
Wow thanks for all the posting is this thread :)

So the Kepler line up,
GK104 256bit 2gb replacement for the 560 flavour cards 250~watts *beats* a HD7970
GK110 is the replacement for the GTX580?

Do keep in mind that Charlie at SemiAccurate hates Nvidia with a passion, so what he writes about them you should take with a pinch of salt.

It could be a case of GK104 and GK110 rumours cross-pollinating themselves.
How about the third option?
The HD7970 beating card is the GK110 which is the bigger chip and consumes around 250W.
Re: Anyone Know When The Next Gen Nvidia Cards Are Being Released
That would make sense.
If the GTX660 (gk104) turns out at 250~watt for the 2gb card the then a 4gb GTX680 would more than likely be knocking on 400watts.
I know Nvidia are very optimistic with TDP ratings but I can't see Nvidia beating a HD7970 with a 250watt GK110 card. Even if they did pull it off any dual GPU card is out of the question.

They seem to be denying any such allegations so I am not sure now??
Whatever it is - Nvidia marketing is good.
They leak performance figures like with the GTX480 and keep everyone guessing.....and holding of potential buyers of AMD cards without having any actual cards to sell.
TBH,I think AMD should have priced the HD7970 3GB at between £350 to £400,not because it is slow for its £410 to £420 RRP(I know retailers adjusted the figures) but to entice more buyers.
Having said that the FX8150 pricing made little sense too.
