Nice to see that Nvidia has some tricks up their sleeve still. AMD has been dominating the Price/Performance spot for so long they've been getting complacent. With new generations of "super cards" that means that todays affordable cards can only get cheaper.

Nice to see that the GPU market is still competitive, unlike the CPU market.

I'm not sure there are reports that the 680 is more like the 570 so if the 685 is the flagship single chip gpu then ati will be blown away, not sure if that's true will be very impressed if it is though.

I am pretty sure we will see a bigger singel GPU model (GK110?) coming out during the summer og fall with a dual gpu after that.
Secondly, there are cards with custom coolers, pre-OC'ed and more v-ram inbound. It just takes a few months before they show up as always

If anyone wants a new card and is not an impatient idiot like me, should wait for the GK110 or the newer revisions with even better coolers and such
The GTX680 looks to be an awesome card but i firmly believe that Nvidia has a really mean bastard hiding out there.

S!

I just wish I could do the jump to Ivy Bridge and X79 chipset..I bet my GPU is more than adequate for my needs for now. Will re-evaluate later on after initial release honeymoon of 680GTX is over Wisest would be to wait for the next versions later this year, even AMD might have something cooking as well! Good times for consumers, bad times for their wallets
