why do you think a 680 is mid range? I cant for the life of me max them out on a 2560x1600 or even 3 monitors
a 780 wont be worth upgrading from 680s

The entry into gk110 is the 780 and im pretty sure its going to be $700-$750

Exactly, they aren't going to release a slightly cut down version of a card that they released for $1000 two months ago for $550.

I start to believe it's true.

I think it's true. and is going to be a card that destroys the GTX 680, especially when using antialiasing filters as SGSSAA, a card such as the 780 @ 1200MHz will give you the performance of a SLI GK104, because GTX 780 is a bit 'Titan neutered.
OC is likely to exceed Titan. I think they will do 1250MHz core.
imho

GK 104 is a mid range chip on paper. Limited memory bandwith and no compute (even though not essential). I mean nvidia could've released GTx 680 based on the gk110 that would've destroyed any of AMD's offering and then released the gtx 660 as what we know as the gtx 680 now that would've also competed with amd if they lowered theire prices. But they're milking it right now.

I love my 680 lightning, its honestly my favorite card. I've only owned it for a couple of months, but I'm honestly starting to cave and want a 780.

I've got my 680 lightning for sale if anyone is interested, it's basically in mint condition and on ebay.. I wish I could sell on overclock.net but I don't have 30 rep ohno-smiley.gif

Edit: nvm.. I might just hold onto my card, speculations on the 780 prices are crazy. I don't want to get rid of my lightning just to find out the 780 is a 600-700 dollar card.

Well.. time for RMA #2. By the time I actually get a working card, the 780 will probably be available. Perhaps I should sell it once it comes in?
