nVidia's GTX 600 Series

[kitamesume]

^ it'll drop to 800ish through sales like how the 590 did.

[Tatsujin]

GTX 670 cards are out. The best ones are from either EVGA or Gigabyte. They're 400 dollars a piece. Next month should be the GTX 660.

[vuzedome]

Hopefully GTX 660 at 200 dollars. Then it'll be early Christmas for us.
But that is however unlikely, at best they drop the GTX560 Ti to 200 and the GTX660 will take the 250 spot.
Any bets on whether nVidia is going to do the silly Ti thing again?

[kitamesume]

lol GTX670 overclocked to 1200mhz easily beats a stock GTX680 >,>

[vuzedome]

No kidding.
Well that means there's now a reason to go back to our geeky roots and get the best bang for our buck.

[kitamesume]

so... when can i expect a GTX650 @ 180$? in 6months maybe? ouch, wonder how low the HD7770 or HD7850 would've dropped in price by then...

[vuzedome]

Shit, guys, new drivers are out. Here we go FXAA, Adaptive Vsync, and frame rate target.
Get your benches cracking because we're about to set some new marks.

[kitamesume]

bah the current gtx 600 series are too expensive, unless they release their GTX650 then im not gonna hold my breath.

[vuzedome]

But the new drivers supports hardware from way back.

lol true to that.
You have to be insane to get one in Australia
GTX 670 - around $540
GTX 680 - around  $830
GTX 690 - around  $1599
thats pccasegear and msy pc warehouse store over here, cheapest you can get , anywhere else it would be way more.

[kitamesume]

@vuze - well true it works on the other older cards but none of the patch notes says much improvements other than 400, 500 & 600 series tweaks.

Edit: wait, to mention im using a GT240 gddr5 512mb card on one of my rigs, which is the fastest nvidia card i own, i cant even put 2xmsaa without making my fps drop >,>
anyway, the drivers wont matter since my main rig is using an HD6570 @ 825mhz, unless they'd release a satisfactory GTX650 that is.

Edit2: i was looking up FXAA quality but meh, it ended up blurring most of it, i'd rather pump res and turn off AA, lol.

Is that in USD?

[vuzedome]

Hopefully it's AUD. But thank goodness Australia's currency don't actually reflect the current economy.

^ I got few Australian friends and they said the economy is different than the US.

The AUD isn't and hasn't been very far off the USD or CAD for the past year and a bit. I remember it suddenly jumped from around $0.60 at some point, but before that it was quite enjoyable to buy things on eBay priced in AUD.
