So the 670 officially launches now!

"SweClockers.com have some great sources of information, at least claiming they have. Latest rumors suggest that GeForce GTX 670 will be released on May 10th. Thats few days after GTX 690.

If you are really interested in rumors and you are a true of NVIDIA GeForce graphics card then you should be happy about next weeks. The latest rumors say that NVIDIA will release their dual-gpu card between April 30th and May 5th ? thats after Intel releases their Ivy Bridge chips. May timeline is quite dense, we have: releasing of GTX 690, releasing of GTX 670, GTC 2012 conference and if that?s even true, a releasing of GeForce 600 mid-range graphics card (GTX 660, GTX 650 etc).

So what is new is a release date of GeForce GTX 670 (a non-Ti version), which, as mentioned above, will take place on May 10th. We have currently no confirmation about specifications of both Ti and non-Ti models, but it seems that we will have to wait for Ti version a bit longer.

GeForce GTX 670 is based on a cut-down version of GK104 GPU. It will be equipped with more than 1000 CUDA cores (1152 or 1344). Previous leaks suggested that it will have 2GB of ram, just like GTX 680. Both Ti and non-Ti card will be available for around $400."

I plan on getting 2 of them, one a few days after release hopefully.

While I haven't decided on them yet, I just updated the op to confirm that one is now available.

Another review but with an OC'd one, which beats stock 680 in nearly all benchmarks.

Now that it's the day, reviews I've seen are so far so good and for it's price it's a steal.

You are going to get like a 35% increase in performance with a GTX 670 (rumor performance being true). Is 35% worth extra the $450 price tag?

I would wait if I were in your boat. My 460 SLIs aren't cutting it for Surround gaming (so I need an upgrade), but even then, I'm waiting on GK110 before I upgrade. :p

[QUOTE="04dcarraher"]

[QUOTE="mitu123"] I already have my reasons but here's one, I rather have far beyond 680 performance than slightly better and worse 580 performance with limited VRAM, I don't care if I have to get a 3rd one.

If you want to really do it then by all means but I think you should hold off a little anyway and not jump in right when they launch. Wait for a new game like Arma III that will really flex them rather than just doing it to get shiny new toys.

You should wait until at least the 700's series before upgrading. There's no games released nor announced that you wouldn't run maxed out... Metro LL is one but bad optimization will probably be the reason so even with two 670 you'll have fps dropping below 30's or even 20's. ARMA3? meh unless u want 60fps.silversix_

[QUOTE="04dcarraher"]

[QUOTE="mitu123"] I can max them out but not at the performance I would want and I seriously don't think 1GB will cut it for the demanding games, I'm still getting bad FPS in some of the games I have and I would prefer to stay high too, I'm a performance lover after all. If a game has optimization problems then I can understand bad performance and fair enough, however for once I know I can do better than this, if I wasn't having these problems I wouldn't upgrade now would I?

My understanding is that system RAM will be utilized to make up for a lack of VRAM in these types of situations. That is, unless you don't have enough system RAM and then your hard drive swapping starts.

Thank god I made this thread, you're all helping me a lot and now I got myself thinking about my decisions. However the more I think about it, the more I may not get 2 670s and maybe either 2 670 Tis or 2 680s instead. One 670 Ti and 680 already beats my 460s and 2 would last me even longer.

I am annoyed at how hard it is to find a 680 for even it's standard price of 500 bucks, the ones on amazon from random sellers are normally above 600 bucks. For me to get one it would take 2 months and 4 months to get 2 of them. It's been over a month and they still sell out too often. Only one time I saw it around 500 bucks on amazon I believe.

I am not made out of money even though I can afford 1k worth of gpus, lol.

Hey, I guess if you have the money, go ahead and spend it. I've never spent more than $400 on a GPU, and I've never wanted for horsepower.. except for when Crysis came out and devastated everything.
