Link to the article that this info MAY have come from.

The funny thing is i remember reading a few months ago that the GTX 680 was only going to have like 1024 Stream processors. this small upgrade if true makes me happy.

I also saw alot of people saying that Nvidia is completely skipping 6xx and going straight to 7xx for the name/number although i never figured out where that rumor came from.

How is that a small upgrade if the current 580 has 512?

Just for clarification for the amount of cores in the 560 line

560 vanilla has 336 cores

560 Ti has 384 cores

560 Ti 448 core has 448 cores.

There is nothing this gen that I am aware of that has 224 cores. (550 Ti has 192)

Lol @ only 128 bit memory.

I really hope the next gen of consoles will be octocores.

Everyone seems to not understand that this is the 6770 replacement not the 6870 replacement.

6770

800 Shaders
16 ROPs
pixel fill rate 13.6 GPixel/s
Texture fill rate 34.0 GTexel/s
Memory bandwidth 76.8 GB/s

7770

640 Shaders
16 ROPs
pixel fill rate 16 GPixel/s
Texture fill rate 40 GTexel/s
Memory bandwidth 72 GB/s

Why on earth would you make the conclusion this is the 68xx series replacement?

Just like everyone here says, wait for trinity, see how it performs and then make your decision.

next time you get your computer wet, turn it off and let it dry for a day or so.

Words often "evolve" because the great mass of ignoramuses use them wrong so often that the word acquires a new, unjustifiable meaning, or they misunderstand something to the point where their misinterpretation becomes the norm. For example, the word "pea" used to be "pease", but the semi-literate majority took it into their heads that "pease" was "peas" the plural of the non-existent "pea". Today even the best and brightest have no problem with the word "pea". Often a word arises, however haphazardly, to fill a gap in the language, and that is the case with the verb "bottleneck". A bottleneck (noun) is the part that first hinders the performance of a computer as you increase demand upon the computer. When we talk about graphics, we are always talking about the relative competency of the CPU and the graphics card. If the GPU maxes out while the CPU is running at 50 percent, the GPU is the bottleneck, and vice versa. A semantic problem arises when we try to verb the noun---a normal process in English. If we say that in that same case the GPU "bottlenecks" the CPU, it can sound like the GPU is causing the CPU to be the bottleneck, the way you "cuckold" a man, or it can sound like nonsense. The GPU isn't actually doing anything to the CPU, it is being the bottleneck in the system, but from the CPU's point of view it is doing something to it, the same thing grandpa is doing to me when he's doing 40 in the fast lane on the freeway with his left turn signal on. I prefer to use "bottleneck" only as a noun to avoid confusion, but I can't control the whole world, so when somebody asks whether his GPU is bottlenecking his CPU, I am perfectly sure he's asking whether his GPU is so much weaker than his CPU that upgrading it would increase performance of the computer for graphics-intensive games.Blistrax

Yes, and this is exactly why it is pointless to try and fight it when a word develops a new meaning.

Yeah, I am kinda torn on that issue myself, on one hand the performance is much better when compared with the 2.5" SSDs but on the other hand, you need to make sure you have a pci-e slot open for it and you can't move it to a laptop.

I don't think I'll make the jump to SSD until it's about 50c/GB
