nVidia's GTX 600 Series

It mentions the ramifications of the GTX-680 being based upon the GF104 as opposed to GF110. Thus, while it is currently "top dog", the article says nVidia pulled its punches with this release.

Statistics please? I just read some dude's opinions.
vuzedome:
The core branding and specs are what everyone is speculating about.
If it's suppose to be their flagship then it would've been named as GK110, just like how GF110 is for the Fermi GTX580.
And as you can see below, besides the GTX285 because that's just out of the question, the memory interface has shrunk.
Well it's all just speculation right now and maybe nVidia is trying something different, we don't know.
Tatsujin:
What's the point of shrinking the memory interface? ... I still don't understand what nVidia is doing. There's less data being processed with less memory interface ...
kitamesume:
its because they upped the memory frequency by 50%, thats why they could shrink the interface by 33%, plus 256bit interface is cheaper than the 384bit is what i've heard.
they didn't lower the overall bandwidth is what i'm saying.
Mistgun_Zero:
Though with three times the number of stream core's and a higher clock frequency I expected the new card to score around three time's the previous card's performance. I guess the software ain't taking full advantage of all the new hardware.
