sing on nvidia instead of amd and qualcom and that the 670670 is pretty much a 680 with a disabled smx(I think? Lol) And that the benchmarks have the 670 performance at 5% below gtx 680(stock reference clocks) to matching or exceding the gtx 680s's performance(factory overclocked)....AND. that the cards will look to cost from $400 to $420-$450 depending on brand, model and availability....It looks like everyone that has been stuck waiting for a gtx 680 and/or a gtx 690 is very fortunate to have not gotten their hands on one after all. It seems like the low availability of the two more expensive cards was a blessing in disguise! At 400 doll hairs you get performance of a $500 dollar card...and possibly for $800 you will get performance equaling $1000(gtx 680 in sli) or $1200(gtx 690) worth of gpu power.
I also should mention at $400 you have a card that beats amd's flagship(so far) card that costs $50 dollars more. Whats does this mean? Well hopefully we will see prices of the 7970 drop to $400 so this makes amd fans very happy as well. Amdd fans will be able to buy their flagship card for $400 dollars...or $800 for great crossfire setup. Meanwhile nvidia) fans will be getting the same thing...flagship performance at $400 dollars(which is where I believe flagship prices should be anyways. The only thing potentially more exciting is if nvidia can achieve similar results when they release the gtx 660680s's ti..if they can get 95%performance compared to the 670gtx at $300 to $350have that will equate to performance close to equaling 7970 performance with a potential $100 to $150 discount...
To end this long post i'll just say things are looking good for pc gamers!
