GTX 680 is already released, My question when will the other 600 series card will release . THnk U.

Ummm... what kind of question is that, off course they will release. The more pragmatic query would be, "When will they release?"

The answer to that would be, I don't have the foggiest idea. nVidia was really tight-lipped about the entire GTX 680 release too, so it comes as no surprise that they have kept the rest of the stuff under wraps too.

I think we might see the GTX670 and 660Ti some time around mid-May and early-June if things are proceeding apace. Pricing on the Indian front will definitely atrocious to start with, by August though I see things stabilizing, hopefully.

i asked the launch date.
 
GTX660 Ti seems the BEST GK104 chip based product to be honest. And at $300, I think it's a no brainer to buy the GTX660 Ti and avoid GTX670 and GTX680 altogether for a minor performance boost (which I feel minor memory overclocking will bring to level)
 
If this card has same shaders with less no. of ROP and bus width then buying gtx 670 will be a waste. As, you can always overclock your gpu with custom cooler models to gain the performance of next high-end card. What matters most is its actual performance in games and sweet pricing ( between $300-$350 ) and TDP should be less than 140W.

Won't you think when GTX 660 will launch along with its siblings the more matured HD 8xxx series will be around in the corner ?

The GTX 660Ti [OR 670 SE call it what you will] and the GTX 660 will release around August 30th in India, by the time the entire line-up will be saturated [from high-end cards to lowest of low-end] it will be October OR even later.

AMD HD 8*** series is not coming any-time before Q2' 2013 so you are wrong on this count.
 
The conundrum is that if i buy GTX 670 now and GTX 660 performs 90% of GTX 670 at $100 less, then I'll regret for it as had i wait for some weeks i would had got better bang for buck.
 
I dont understand the pricing strategy here from Nvidia , pricing 660 at this price renders the 670 and 680 seemingly useless . There is hardly 10-15 % max performance difference .
There is hardly any spec difference from the 670 which itself isnt distant in specs from the 680 . Where does this make sense I dont get it .
And for that comparatively puny price difference , I dont think anyone with a sane mind would even consider anything above 660 .
200$ less than the 680 , might as well add another 100 bucks and get an SLI which will thrash the 680 .
 
I feel that the GTX 660Ti might be the GTX 670 and 680 cores that are not making the cut when the silicon was fabricated for the earlier aforementioned cards.

This is highly likely in my opinion because of the following reason --
  • lot of companies have already done it earlier in processors and GPU cores. Most recent example is AMD's very own HD 6950 2GB [originally destined to be a HD 6970] and nVidia GTX560Ti 448 edition [GTX 570].
  • nVidia generally faces a lot of hurdles when it jumps onto a new fabrication process, but once production is in full swing a lot of surplus is there, case in point nVidia's 8800GT [G92 core] that was present in every card from that era onward [9800GT --> 9800GT+ --> 9800GTX] till the GTS 250;
  • nVidia has finally struck gold with Kepler and wants to hammer it home that it is back especially after the initial lead that AMD had gained [HD 5*** series onwards AMD has always released the first salvo cards].

Just my point of view. Cheerio!!
 
These bastids are milking the end users like anything here. I wonder what happened, all of sudden even the mainstream cards are hovering in 20K range, where their ideal value lies around 12-15K.
