GTX 680 Video

Depends on price. If Nvidia can keep the price down then I will definitely pick them over AMD for my rig refresh this summer.

Read somewhere that they are going to be listed on newegg for around 500 bucks, which means the 7970 will have to drop in price significantly to compete if it really is slower by 15-50 percent.
 
$599 plus local taxes I read.

That means an rrp of about £450. Many places will sell it for less than that but I'm not expecting more than a £10-15 drop in 7970 prices.

EDIT: I've just read the tweaktown review and given the performance and rumours of people selling for $500 (£380) then the 7970 might fall the best part of £100!
 
Man this card is sexy, Kind of regret buying a 7970 now. (it's a great card don't get me wrong but I like having the fastest card)
 
Am i the only one who is horrified with the power-connectors when a waterblock is on ?

Cmon that looks so damn stupid, like the "tower of power" stands off and makes the card look like a bad joke.

I didn't think of that, but yeah it will probably look stupid. Do you have any links to pics with a block on?

The cables coming down will hide that somewhat. The evga hyrdocool card has a bigger black waterblock and doesn't look that bad either. Doesn't look as good as normal, but it's not horrid IMO.
