Also note that GTX680 is ment to be a midrange GTX560TI/570 level card in the first place, It feel a bit shitty for them to rename it and slap on a $500~$550 price tag just because ATI went wild with their pricing for their mediocre high end cards. Agree, although I'm now craving for a new card, and might probably getting a whole new rig since my current rig is 4yrs++ old (with C2D & HD3870), there's no way in hell I will shell out $500++ for a midrange card. I'm hugely disappointed with current price scheme from AMD, and now I'm hanging my hope with NVIDIA, and it seems that NVIDIA choose to follow the same scheme .. *darn. I'm still holding my breath and crossing my finger for reasonable pricing though .. go go price war If the pricing rumours are true, I think I will just wait until Ivy bridge out in the market, and see how it goes. And if nothing change, I might as well abandon PC gaming and move to consoles. | ||

I am hoping I can grab a card that can match gtx580 performance with lower power consumption at that price point by that time. Too optimistic? Amen, I'm with you with this one. 250-300$ is my limitation too, I think in this range is a good level for top mainstream/enthusiast entry level card. I can't imagine the pricing for the 7990/690 level with current scheme. | ||

If you want to spend $500 on a card thats fine just make sure you are gaming on 3 monitors otherwise you arent making good life decisions. Dual GPU's will probably be around $900 just like most multi GPU cards have been. | ||

It's just that the current pricing doesn't feel right for me. But your point holds, as I'm not going above 1080p and I do multiple monitor only for work, not gaming. Well, we'll see. | ||

To those saying "this was a midrange card but AMD screwed up", the two cards are roughly the same die size (although Nvidia is still smaller), AMD doesn't do big dies, they do two together for the high end (7990) which will come shortly. AMD could price so high because there was no competition, and looks like Nvidia doesn't want a price war either especially with zero supply. | ||

In every other benchmark from Tom's Hardware the 680 smokes by it 15-30%. Aside from claims of Toms Hardware being biased don't you think if you're bringing a discussion to the community you should present it in a fair and equal way? Something to think about next time you try to skew the facts. Lol what are you talking about, are you even looking at the same OP as everyone else? The GTX 680 is clearly shown ahead of the 7970 in both 3DMark 11 and Dirt 3 benches that were posted in the OP. It's expected that GTX 680 will outperform a 7970 considering how they sacrificed so much computing power for gaming. But the difference is no where near as much as Toms makes it out to be. It's pretty obvious those benches are bias since why is average performance across six games given at 1080p and not 2560x1600? Why are some games missing 2560x1600? What the hell does this benchmark even mean when you tested with various settings? | ||

Those cards will never be staple. Especially not now where the console market has a fairly tight grip on the evolution of gaming. And will for years to come as Sony and Microsoft have no plans to launch a new console until 2015, and nintendo's next system isn't even built yet and is already technologically obsolete. Well that seems to be a bit of an exaggeration. There are rumors of details for the next MS console floating around and since the WiiU will be released in 2012 I guess that MS would like to have their next version out sooner than later. They already said that there was no announcement to be expected on this E3 so I'd wager the release to be somewhere in the second half of 2013 or early 2014 for MS and somewhere in 2015 for Sonys console but I have no basis for the Sony guess. | ||

I would wait for the reviews tomorrow and see how the GTX680 do in high res with the low vram. | ||
