GTX680 Specs leaked!

There is nothing morally right or wrong about being inept, therefore it cannot be ethical nor unethical.

Actually there is. If such a one takes a position in which an informed/experienced individual is needed, then yes, it is unethical. Taking that perspective into this situation, what should stop me from calling you "unethical" when you so desire to identify my ignorance to ethical theory (thus claiming an informed position on the topic), and then taking said inept position by resorting to insults when a rational argument is presented?

no

Problem is that both companies "sponsor" developers so how is Nvidia worse then AMD? It's not, AMD branding like in Dirt 2 anyone? and other focused content from either company. Just because Nvidia throws more money into games or use proprietary features is not unethical. Its called business, The only time its "unethical" is when one company purposely driving its competition to go out of business using cheap tactics. Like Intel vs AMD , buying up all patents, offering bulk deals no one can refuse, purposely gimping/breaking software for the other guy (physx does not count, its just extra icing). aka beating up the little guy. Each company does their own things to draw in customers with exclusive features.04dcarraher

i guess intel bribing pc makers to favor intel cpu's over AMD's was also just business? Too bad they got hit with a couple of $billion in fines. The way I see it, nvidia is just repeating what intels already been through.

britney spears? Still smokin hot after all these years

I hope that at least 2gb Vram is a standard for the new Nvidia cards. Cj19_32

those specs look pretty damn robust. I really hope nvidia dose not make the 680 2 feet long, and consume a kilowatt of power like the last few cards.AlexKidd5000

This is abit of a noob question but since these new cards are PCIe 3.0, does that mean you can only use them with a PCIe 3.0 mobo? Or can you still use them with a 2.0 mobo?? hrt_rulz01

Won't be surprised if this was true. next gen begins this year so they're releasing a gpu rdy for next gen engines (ue4). if this costs over 600$, fuk this.silversix_

One of the things that USB and PCI-E sought to fix was backward compatibility issues. back in the day we had ps/2, serial and parallel ports (along with any ports add in boards had), and on the inside of the computer there was ISA, EISA, PCI, 64 bit PCI, AGP. There was basically no compatible anything between those things.
