- Senaste ryktena om Kepler som faktiskt känns trovärdiga kommer från Chiphell. Översatt med Google Translate.
Om påstådda modellen GTX 680:
"May be seen as early as in February (not paper launch but retail), as Mr Huang doesn't like the HD7970 to shine most in the 28nm era.
The performance would be around the same as the HD7970, depending on the drivers.
So far the core clock is at 780MHz, with 2GB vram.
Source is from an AIC manufacturer, saying that even the retail packages are being printed now."

- Även Matose (medlem på Xtremesystems) bekräftar att lanseringen ligger riktigt nära i tiden:
"GTX680 / GTX670 will be based on Kepler and will be launched in February, at least that's the plan now
P.S: Don't ask me the source of this, cannot say :)"

- Finns även lite påstådda prestandasiffror för GTX 680 i tråden på Chiphell:

Inga direkt lysande resultat, men det återstår att se.
- Fudzilla postade idag även en artikel om att lanseringsschemat för Kepler är avslöjat och att GTX 680 enligt detta skall lanseras i April.
"A quarter behind AMD
We are still missing a lot of details, but according to the current schedule it looks like GK110, Nvidia’s Kepler high end card, which should up with the Geforce GT 680 brand comes in April.
A chip called GK107, a much slower version of the same 28nm core, will show up in May, while the sexy performance market sweet spot part codenamed GK106 is planned for June. We still have no info when the most affordable part of this gang, codenamed GK108, comes to market.
Mobile parts should follow a different launch dynamic and we expect more than just one card in April. It looks like Nvidia wants to make a name in desktop with high-end parts and that mobile GPUs will have a much wider spectrum, simply because Nvidia has some 300+ design wins in the mobile segment and that they can make nice money off it."

- I samma veva publicerade bloggen OBR-hardware en artikel som motsäger sig detta och istället påstår:
"You've all probably read (especially on Fudzilla) VGAs with graphics architecture Kepler is postponed to April, May etc. It's all just BS and Camouflage maneuver. Launch is literally in a few weeks/days, all this is just to appease the competitor AMD ... before crushing blow!"

Nu är jag väl medveten om att OBR inte är den mest pålitliga källan direkt, men i just det här fallet så tror jag att det ligger något i det han säger. Kanske inte just delen med "crushing blow" men vad gäller lanseringsdatum i alla fall.
