Well for someone like me who has been craving an upgrade from my "rusty" old 580GTX i welcome it as that might drop the prices of the older cards in the 700 series to be more affordable.
Nvidia GeForce GTX 880 And GTX 870 Coming Q4

Does this mean that the GTX 880 will still be the previously rumoured "10% faster than the 780 Ti?"
The rumoured specifications on Videocardz.com are mostly lower than the 780 Ti so I don't see how it's possible.

Wow, you don't ask for much do you? ^_^IF they bring out an 880 Ti/Ultra etc... and it is as good as 2 x 780 Ti's then I will get it but I'm thinking that will be the 900 series

Hehe well it's my new way of thinking with GPU upgrades, If a new highest end single GPU card can outperform 2 780 Ti's then I will happily purchase it even if I have to wait for the 900 series
Getting pretty bored with my GTX 680 Classified 4GBs. Have 2 of them and I'm really looking for something more powerful. If the GTX 880 is 75 or more percent more powerful then I'll be snatching up two immediately.
I'm also interested to see what AMD has up their sleeve. I suspect the Hawaiian Islands refresh won't rear its head until maybe December or January.
I really hope they don't do "880ti" and "GTX Titan Ultra Black" this time around though. I think they did it right with the 500 and 600 series and AMD always does it right. Release your flagship card after a period of heavy anticipation and then leave it that way until the following generation. The Titan/700 series was a literal buyer's remorse festival. First the Titan comes out and astounds everyone with its performance and outrageous price. Next its performance is almost matched for half the price with the 780. Then the 780ti outdoes the Titan and the 780 a month or so later with less memory. Then the Titan Black and Titan Z come out and no one cares except for those with more money than sense. Silly.

880ti will happen, Titan probably not.

That's one thing I really like about AMD, They respect their customer base enough to not release an Ultra/Ti/Titan version only 3 months after the release of their "Flagship Card".
I'm thinking they might repeat the 8800 series for Nostalgia, And profit purposes obviously ^_^
8800 GS, GT, GTS, GTX and Ultra.
From the good old days

If its not a sweaty, overpriced mess I'll probably pick up the flagship card for that gen. Chances are it'll be stupid pricing though.
Considering I've upgraded at every generation of card for the past two-three years I think it'll be likely that I will get one, if I have got my act together by then and actually had some time with my 780 that is. Although that depends on how good the whole Nvidia experience is for me

This is good news to me cause I was thinking they wouldnt have anything new out til next year like around February or later. My GTX 670 is doing a great job but the newest games like Crysis 3 has it showing its age a little. I can still run at max settings but I get down into the low 30's too often for my liking so I have to turn I think it is post processing down one notch in order to keep decent frame rates. Hitman Absolution had me digging thru the settings menu too.
So nothing urgent but I am looking for a little upgrade in the GPU department and holding off til around October would be just about right. I can pay off the new PSU and CPU I just bought and have a nice clean credit card to blow up with a GTX880.

Hows the 8350 ?

Hows the 8350 ?
Its been a lot of fun these last few days overclocking and getting it dialed in. For the first time ever I got a golden chip cause this sucker can go. I got 5.0 @ 1.50V to pass OCCT but my H100 ran out of muscle. 4.9 would also go at 1.45V but I stuck with 4.8 @ 1.4 cause it runs a lot cooler and I can keep my H100 fans on low and still have enough cooling while gaming and such. All that wasnt worth the 100 MHz gain. Its also stable enough to have Cool n Quiet enabled which is a BIG plus cause it runs my idle cores at 1.4 GHz @ .85V which really helps.
Gaming Ive picked up a nice little boost in frame rates. I ran some quick benchies in Batman AA, AC and FEAR (the only games I have that have an easily accessible benchmark) and picked up a solid 10-15% boost in frame rates over my 8150 @ 4.5 GHz. Gonna try some more eventually like Crysis 3.
Best of all, picked it up on sale at Amazon for $160 shipped! So yeah, getting new stuff rocks.

My 8320 has to do 1.35 volts to get 4.2ghz :I. Man I wish I had your chip, you've scored a golden one. Must be a pre 9xxx one as well I guess seeing as it can do 9370 clocks with ease.

Ah but I bet yours never had bent cpu pins and thermal paste all over it? Mine hasmine gets 4.4 @ 1.35
Rebending the cpu pins back into position was an... experience I must say.

haha yeah mine has never had that sort of abuse, i bet you were glad you didn't snap any pins

I was very lucky. I was removing the stock cooler from it (it came with the cooler on as I got aria to check the bios for me, it having an older motherboard and all) and ripped the cpu out of the socket. Luckily it only had bent pins, which are an easy fix if you're patient. The AMD stock thermal paste got everywhere as I had to heat the cooler up to get the cpu off the cooler. Good thing its not conductive.
The cpu hasn't skipped a beat since.

I guess so
.Its a shame the cpu itself isn't that amazing OC wise. Its stock voltage was 1.35 though so maybe its not the worse...

I have mine at 4.4ghz at those volts, I could probably go further but I fear for the temps it will be pushing if I do
