    GTX680, images from THG review leaked

    Who is Gibbo and why is he a reliable source? As far as I can tell, he's a forum moderator who runs computer store with a vested interest in both selling video cards today and keeping people off the fence. I have a hard time trusting information from a user with a troll face / anti-NVIDIA avatar.

    GTX680, images from THG review leaked

    Did you see the benchmarks? 1600p performance is clearly inferior to the GTX 590. You don't need to take my word for it. Look at the data: Source: http://videocardz.com/31116/nvidia-geforce-gtx-680-performance-comparison And there is little doubt the GK110 is on its way.

    GTX680, images from THG review leaked

    Absolutely. Regardless of what NVIDIA calls it or charges for it, this is a replacement for the GTX 570. The high end cards need to deliver 2560x1600, 3D Vision (basically 2 x Vertical resolution), and 2D/3D Vision Surround (5760 x 1080 and up). Again, I'm very impressed by the 680. It simply...

    GTX680, images from THG review leaked

    I am *very* grateful Tom's Hardware included a GTX 590 in the mix. That beast is pretty close to my SLI 570's. I'm impressed by the 680's performance, but this is definitely a mid-range card. (Due to poor performance at high resolution.) My monitor has 2560x1600 resolution, at which the 680...

    I mirrored the files. My reasons are: 1) The scumbag who stole the information is making money off someone elses hard work. 2) The website is riddled with malware. 3) It was miserable sifting through those links. I will remove the images as soon as Tom's Hardware makes them available. Until...

I have tried searching google for sites that rate ISPs, but they are filled with sponsors and I don't trust any of the information in them. Does anyone know of a site that reviews, or allows individuals to...
