So today we get to see kepler officially right, well the 680 anyways?

If the rumors are true, today is a paper launch, so it's officially released but not for sale. Like with the 7970 when it was released in December but didn't go up for sale until January. NDA will be up though, so we should get benchmarks and reviews, if rumors are true. 
 
Wouldn't we have heard something by now? Ususally even if it's a paper launch at least some major tech sites would have samples in for review already..

Might just be the time difference though.
 
Nvidia's NDA usually lifts at 9am PST and I think PST is +7hrs GMT so at 16:00 GMT it will be 09:00 PST.

Hopefully will will get something from then on.

I do not know if it's an impression but I think that Kepler family will be optimized for aliasing effects for example, to achieve a similar result.

I think many will fall into the trap of triple SLI GTX 580 = One kepler. I do not believe for a second.

But I think it is optimized for heavy effects that previously required multiple graphics cards can be.

I remember reading some article (very possible that it was posted on this site) saying that this is more of what they are doing. Both AMD and Nvidia are focusing more on delivering performance per game rather than performance across the board. So in some games Kepler was absolutely amazing, but in others it was barely better than the current generation.

The fact that they needed three GTX 580s, which at the time would be more than $1500 after taxes (more then the entire cost of my system minus paint) just points me to Wirth's law.

They need to get better at optimizing in my opinion. Its nice to finally see an integrated GPU be able to run the latest games at playable FPS (3870K), but the fact that 3 GTX 580s were needed makes my wallet want to go and strangle the developers/nvidia.
 
Friend is coming by Friday to pick up my 470's. I'm going to be rigless unless he let's me borrow his 460 until I get something new. Hurry up Kepler! I was really looking forward to seeing numbers yesterday, what a let down.

We've not been told of any desktop delays. The issued schedules are what they are at this point.

However we have seen made up reports of delays by a few "news" sites and later explainations that what they meant was mobile chipsets and we weren't actually wrong as we never are.

No news + made up stuff = manufacturer taking the heat.

Again.
