ROFL! It seems that these Kepler rumors were created by nvidia viral marketers and are not true. All of the currently circulated Kepler rumors originated from a select group of posters at CHIPHELL and spread from there to other sites like Fud. (among others). Turns out the owners/admin of CHIPHELL found out that it was nvidia viral marketers posting lies to slow AMD 7900 sales.
Chiphell uncovered nvidia viral marketers perpetuating kepler rumors: rough chinese translation
//chiphell.com/thread-349828-1-1.htmlMany forumss in China all have various articles about Kepler being inexpensive,and speculate performance. Looking at our inside sources, there is no kepler information. All the editors "uncovering leaked" information in the major forums is clearly NV's (Nvidia) PR using the flooder(people who mass comment on forums) army to suppress the HD7900's selling and its lead. I will lock any Chiphell posts, and I hope that any other members reposting [GF104 rumors] will maintain discipline. These rumors that have been posted are unsubstantiate and are from nvidia marketers.
