Nivida Kepler Series Release Date

Any one know when their 670 will hit the shevles?

That sucks, I was hoping nvidia would release their under $200 Keplar cards to shake up the budget graphics card pricing. Looks like that's 3+ months out though, too long for me to wait.

Sorry to say that, but you might not see <200$ Kepler cards for even longer. I'm guessing almost all their wafer allotment is going to the GK107 with a few GK104 wafers to throw a bone to enthusiasts, but all of them are going into laptops. Seems like Nvidia overestimated how well the transition to 28nm will go and is having a hard time fulfilling OEM contracts.

It also doesn't help that Nvidia is reportedly looking for a new foundry as well.

Hm, that first comment there made me laugh:

hotsacoman:
Hi Nvidia. I'll lend you my oven. Please leave three 680's as payment.

See, I have a oven too and I know it works since I have had to use it to bake my bumpgated 8800GT, 8400GS etc.
