Nvidia GTX670 faster than a 680

Well it's official, and I do feel a little but cheated, Nvidia need to get some more power from the 680's in future drivers to alleviate some of the backlash.

I don't feel cheated when the difference is so small. The difference is a few FPS, usually 1 and sometimes 2-3. The overclocked ASUS 670 did not blow the stock 680 out of the water.

I went from a EVGA GTX 470 to a ASUS GTX 680 and I don't regret it. I was going to wait for the 670's to come out, but this cash was from the tax return and I splurged.

I think what people are getting at is the GTX 670 when overclocked is a little faster than a stock GTX 680 for significantly less money.

If I had bought a GTX 680 at launch prices I'd be ****ed right now to be honest. Glad I didn't buy one because I still feel that the GTX 680 we have now was intended to be the GTX 670 and the current GTX 670 was supposed to be the GTX 660. The PCB alone clearly shows it wasn't intended to be an enthusiast card this is a mid-range to high end card.

I expect NVIDIA to launch the proper GTX 680 the one based on the GK100 silicon around October this year.

Good point Vice.

For me, as long as this thing plays my games for a few years with all the bells and whistles I'll be fine and less likely to feel cheated.

On a side note, AMD must be pretty happy that this 680 ended up being the enthusiast card. Looking at the reviews out there, they took a bit of a beating.

Yeah, BF3 is a dream on these cards. I'm finally maxing everything out and getting 80 fps + @ 1920x1200. Skyrim is another game that is amazing now fully maxed out.

I just sold my 480GTX and 570GTX on eBay - and was planning on getting a 670GTX this weekend - this just confirms what I hoped.

I dont OC for the sake of trying to run something I couldnt @ clock speeds. If I OC something - its just to see how far/fast it will go for 24/7 purposes.

The fact the 670GTX is, on avg, about 5% slower than the 680GTX was really interesting to me when I 1st started reading about the cards.
