Next-gen Nvidia graphics card, GTX 680, to launch in February



On January 17th, 2012 in Industry, PC, Rumor -

According to a new report coming from Chiphell, which has a decent track record when it comes to GPU leaks, Nvidia has decided to launch the next generation GPU, GTX 680, earlier than expected. The original launch was slated for March/April, but due to AMD’s slight lead, Nvidia decided to release the card in late-February.

The GTX 680 is said to offer the same performance as AMD’s 7970 card, and will ship with 2 GB of RAM and a clock speed of 780 MHz. The GTX 680 will reportedly be followed by the GTX 700-series later this year.

Absolutely no it isn't Bearcat. This is just a newer u know, released after your GTX 460?

I understand that Funky, but what I meant was that a person can buy the latest technology at the time and a few months later they come out with something new. I love my GTX 460 and plan to keep it for a very long time, despite the newer models.

I saw that story about the GTX 680 earlier FunkY, but like Bearcat, I am happy with my GTX 460.

Yes i know Bearcat and that's how it goes. Fresh component could be something really "old" already after couple of months. If you want to keep your every component updated you need to update your computer all the time!

I would love to be able to do that FunkY, but I am afraid I don't have the money to do it!

Hey safeguy, I have a savings account that I try to put a little something into each time I get paid, and use that to fund purchases like new computers, etc. Of course last summer I put a big dent in the account, when I bought the hardware for my new PC, but I don't regret it one little bit! My new PC is awesome and should last me for a long time.

It took me a long time to save enough money for my new PC, but it was worth it!
