GeForce 680GTX released

[kevchenco]

Seems like it has the edge over the 7970 and has a similar cost.

Let the price wars begin!

Mine got shipped today so i'm getting it tomorrow. Gonna be fun checking out the new features, especially the turbo boost

S!

Seems to be a nice card. Would be nice to see benchmarks from simulators and both cards on a PCIe 3.0 specced Ivy Bridge system Good to have choices, both cards are strong ones more than adequate for gaming today

[Katana1000S]

Ordered one today too but I'll likely not get mine until Monday.

I will put out some numbers from IL2 COD and ArmA 2 w/Ace sometime tomorrow night.

Will do. Just received sms from postal services that my package will be delivered tomorrow afternoon.
I will run tests on IL2 COD, Arma 2 and Red orchestra 2 and i will make a comparison with my current gtx580.

judging from the reviews/bench it's clearly below HD 7990 and a bit under GTX 590.. i'd say it kinda fills the gap between the GTX 580 and GTX 590

Here is a review (sorry, I am reading the German one).

Oh, Trvdi was kind enough to find an English presentation of the card and I admit, his comments about adaptive Vsync technology seem to be good news:

As I had posted last month, this is supposed to be the intermediate card (the real high performance core will appear in August). For this reason it has only 2Gb
Despite that, the performance is a big improvement compared to the GTX580

There is more to this card than all the talk about performance.
Turbo booster which helps removing bottlenecks in the core when it's needed, adaptive v-sync, hardware FXAA and the new TSAA which will be available in upcoming games. It also has a better cooling system. These and the PCI 3.0 support are the main reasons i trade in my beloved gtx 580.

And for a single gpu card to be almost on par with the dual gpu cards available is definitely a good sign

Guru3d has released their gtx680 review. Looks good
