Take with 2 pinch of salt and some red pepper.

45% faster than the 7970 for the same price? This I have to see.

Kepler based Nvidia GTX 600 series GPUs – Highlights

Nvidia Kepler GTX690

• 750MHz Core clock
• 2×1.75 GB 4.5GHz GDDR5 Memory
• 2×1024 Stream Processors
• 2x448bit Bus Width
• Priced at $999

Both AMD and Nvidia are following the same trend in maintaining the order of the series in GPUs. Like HD 7990, GTX 690 has a core clock lesser than GTX 680 and Bus width similar to GTX 670. Compared to AMD HD 7990′s price point of $ 849, GTX 690 is priced at $ 999. But comparing to the performance the GTX 690 can offer, HD 7990 is definitely over priced, and sure AMD has to reduce their prices drastically after the release of GTX 600 kepler series.
Nvidia Kepler GTX680

• 850MHz Core clock
• 2 GB 5.5GHz GDDR5 Memory
• 1024 Stream Processors
• 512bit Bus Width
• Priced at $649
• 45% faster than HD 7970

Nvidia has a clear winner in its hands and that’s why they have commented that they had expected much more from AMD. But still we already know that AMD is preparing its revised GCN HD 8000 series graphic cards, which may be release in the latter half of this year.

Nvidia Kepler GTX660Ti

• 850MHz Core clock
• 1.5 GB 5GHz GDDR5 Memory
• 768 Stream Processors
• 384bit Bus Width
• Priced at $399
• 10% faster than HD 7950

Nvidia Kepler GTX660

• 900MHz Core clock
• 2 GB 5.8GHz GDDR5 Memory
• 512 Stream Processors
• 256bit Bus Width
• Priced at $319
• Performance similar to GTX580

Nvidia Kepler GTX650Ti

• 850MHz Core clock
• 1.75 GB 5.5GHz GDDR5 Memory
• 448 Stream Processors

• Performance similar to GTX570

Nvidia Kepler GTX650

• 900MHz Core clock
• 1.5 GB 5.5GHz GDDR5 Memory
• 256 Stream Processors
• 292bit Bus Width
• Priced at $179
• Performance similar to GTX560

Nvidia Kepler GTX640

• 850MHz Core clock
• 2 GB 5.5GHz GDDR5 Memory
• 192 Stream Processors
• 128bit Bus Width
• Priced at $139
• Performance similar to GTX550Ti

45% faster than a 7970 would be very impressive but I call shens, wouldn't that make this generation almost a 100% speed increase over the last? wowzer's.

 

[blastingcap]

Take this with a massive grain of salt, esp. since they already got some stuff wrong, like 7950 launch date.

 

[blackened23]

Lets analyze this boys

- Kepler does not have hotclocks - Chart has hotclocks for all kepler parts, when Kepler doesn't have hotclocks, check

- GTX 690 will be the flagship Kepler, on a single PCB with dual GPU - Chart has the GTX 690 using a 224 bit memory bus x 2 - check

- GTX 660 will have a (224 bit) memory bus. Not even possible - check

- Stream processors? Really? Cuda core counts - wrong - check

- GTX 680 has a 512 bit memory bus, while the dual GPU version the 690 (GTX 680x2) has a 224 bit memory bus - lolworthy

The kicker really is their GTX 690 specs. According to that chart it has a 224 bit memory bus with 1.75gb of memory times two. Hilarious.

Yep this sounds plausible.

 

[Vesku]

Hope at least the April launch is accurate, need some competition before summer/fall sales hit.

I have trouble believing it would be that much faster. The memory bus of the 680 is wide, so there is most likely lots of bandwidth, but the silicon would need a ton performance per clock to beat a 7970 by that much yet have a clock speed of only 850Mhz.

EDIT: Also noticed the 224bit memory on some. WTF?!?

 

[Arkadrel]

No for 100$+ more than the 7970, their saying 650$+ for it.


Its a 550mm^2 chip with 512bit bus... wow... HUGE chip.
Im guessing... 300watts TPD?

Looks like the 670 will be competeing with the 7970 overclocked cards when it comes out.

The funny part is that the dual GTX 680 (690) has a 224 bit memory bus on that chart. Whoever made it is a comedian for sure

Edit: the chart is a clear and obvious fake.

 

[superccs]

Nvidia releases an actual Unicorn! Beats anything AMD will ever build, ever!
Troll Lol.

 

[WMD]

The dropping of hot clocks is an uncomfirmed rumour as well. Why would want to double cuda core count only to clock it down by 50%. Seems counter productive no?

 

[AnandThenMan]

 

[badb0y]

Seems fake but I guess we will see.

Personal prediction is GTX 680 will be 20% faster than 7970.

I thought that the dropping of hot clocks made sense when I was seeing 1GHz+ rumored clock speeds. With ~850MHz now cropping up though, it seems plausible they might keep them. The number of CUDA cores seems too high though. Unless these chips are going to be huge for their price points.

 

[Quantos]

Holy memory bus width batman! That is, if any of this is true. Which for all we know... wait. Wait. We've been here before. I have a terrible deja-vu right now. Oh, yes... speculation.

You know guys, I have a feeling we should trade stocks. :sneaky:

 

[SolMiester]

I wonder if we will be able to drive surround vision (3 x LCD) on the 1 GPU now it has enough memory?

 

[LOL_Wut_Axel]

LOL, obvious fake is obvious.

 

[Idontcare]

- Kepler does not have hotclocks - Chart has hotclocks for all kepler parts, when Kepler doesn't have hotclocks, check

Is this confirmed?

 

[BallaTheFeared]

Nothing is confirmed as Nvidia hasn't said anything.

The last thing I remember from nvidia directly was the roadmap, but I could be wrong on that.

 

[notty22]

The specs are just laid out in a standard table creator.
The table looks just like the one they had for AMD's 7 series lineup.
Which they got correct, (edit :some clocks were wrong) at least what has launched anyways.

First of all, the link you provide is dated Dec 24th 2011. After it was released. Of course they knew the specs after it was released. Secondly, here are their *leaked* specs of 7970:

http://lenzfire.com/2011/10/amd-is-...radeon-hd-7900-series-graphics-for-2011-2011/

Their "leaked" 7970 specs:

Specifications of Radeon HD 7900 series graphic card
Radeon HD 7900 series will have XDR2 memory wrong
Radeon HD 7970 will have 2048 shader cores, 128 texture units and 64 ROPs wrong
[/B]Radeon HD 7900 series will have an TDP of 190W wrong
Radeon HD 7870 will be powered by the Thames XT GPU wrong

 

[blackened23]

Is this confirmed?

Nvidia is keeping it secret of course, but i've seen it mentioned at least 2 dozen times. Shrug. Maybe not confirmed, I suppose.

I don't have much faith in the specs posted here. I do hope the date is correct, if not sooner. (April '12)

The LINK in my post lists all the other 7 series specs beyond the 7970. They were one of the first to publish what appears to be the correct specs for the rest of the lineup.
The link you posted is earlier fud which was going around and has no bearing on my point/post I was making. Thank You.
