nVidia's GTX 600 Series

no i didn't meant that, their gaming did improve a little bit, but their computation dropped like a rock... which is just too ridiculous even if their target is to reduce power consumption, they shouldn't have crippled performance that much or at least name the damn thing GTX670[Ti?] instead.
what i think would've been a better move from them is just simply die-shrink fermi to 28mm, add some more rops and cores and adjust the clocks accordingly. the die-shrink alone should reduce a favorable amount of wattage while improving or maintaining the performance level.

I'm excited about the hair. I'd love to see video games be able to do that instead of just paint it on a 2d canvas.
vuzedome:
I forgot to mention that it's using the GK104 core, and you know what that means, this ain't the big daddy yet, but that's just speculation.
But do enlighten me, what is texture decompression and why is it that you use it to judge computational performances?
I'm really in the dark on that, google didn't help much.

Agree. I want that.

Wow that does suck, specifically on a single game. Maybe it needs an update soon? Most websites say nVidia decided to use a different architecture on the 600 Series. Meh, I want to see more benchmarks. I'm losing hope if this series fails hardcore.
I'm getting this results Radeon HD 7970 vs GTX 680 Performance on AMD Bulldozer FX-8150 CPU Review Linus Tech Tips - across several games.

texture decompression wasn't my point, my point was that GTX680 is hardly any faster than GTX580, sometimes even slower than it.
the fact that sometimes its slower than the GTX580 means they failed somewhere in there.
some other stuff i found
(click to show/hide)
this time its worse off than the GTX570...
but hey, they did improved their performance/watt by a huge margin. though they could've done better if they didn't change anything and just transitioned the whole thing to 28mm.
though i got my eye on GTX 650 Ti, if it'll exist it should be on par with HD7770, and if its cheaper and requires less watts to power up then it'll be a deal.
so i got two guesses when the time comes, either way its a win-win scenario.
1) GTX 650 Ti is on par with HD7770, costs less and uses less watts.
2) GTX 650 Ti failed my expectations, BUT HD7770 drops price.
