that's my take on 780/8970 & Haswell/Z87, the first few month they will have the new product price bump and there will be driver/Bios issues, plus you might not get the special SKU mobo/GPU you want( Lightning GPU or an ROG/UP board) so if I want to buy I'll do so a few month after release.

Price cuts might reflect production cost cuts - remember that they had their issues when the 680 first came out.
Also remember the huge count of Tesla/Quadros that all those supercomputers got - many of them were selected out of the same waffers 680s come out - no? So with K Quadro and Tesla sales picking up, supply must have started picking up - esp.

Demand is also going down, since the maniacs lined up to get it as fast as possible - as if it would rock their world instead of a 580 ...

It is not like a bug chunk of the market will could afford 680s...those that could, already did - $20-30 would not change much, we all know it.
Sounds like any other GPU generation really.

There are no bandwidth limitation (that i know of) with 670 SLI unless you are running pci-e 2.0 at less than 8x speeds. 2-way SLI is definitely the sweet spot with excellent scaling!

I really feel like this supposed price drop is for AU only or something. Literally not a single US retailer has lowered the price since this became news.

I don't think he was talking about PCIE bandwith(which can't be solved by a next gen card anyway), he was talking about the 256 bit memory bus and 192.3 GB/s memory bandwith(compared to AMD's 384 bit and 240GB+/s).
