A brilliant plan ! Release the long awaited jaw dropping, frame guzzling,Mhz Boostin ....GTX 680 in strictly Limited numbers(due to silicone wafer shortages)...and wet their appetite !!!...When they cant get' 7970 beatin' 680,they'll settle for the next best thing...The GTX 670 which is not much slower than the 680 and we "Just happen to have" a big production of 670s(which are made from the very same"short supply" wafers) ready to go out the gate !!..................Ive been checkin out new video cards and wonderin why no one has gtx 680 "in stock"...Yet gtx 670 is only released a week ago and very easy to get by lots of manufacturers !!!...maybe im just gettin cynical !~S~

Jayde, you already have a GTX580 so, do not even bother to look at the GTX680, it was just a "quick and convenient" release to make ATI (with their 79xx) shut up because the 79xx had such a low performance gain over the 78xx.
The 680 was supposed to be a "medium card" that is why it only has 2Gb VRAM. ATI's "failure" made it advance to "High performance" card (This is NV Marketing :Grin:)

The real performance cores from NV will come out in August-September.

So, if you have a low performance card and you must have something now, go for a 680 or 79xx. But if (like yourself) have a powerful card already, it will be a waste of money.

I have a 570 1.3Gb and I still wait...:0:
