Not seen/heard of a 650. 640 and lower should all be fermi cards. Oem cards should be available for 640/620.
Only with gpus and cpus do people get upset in the question of performance versus what's under the hood.
If Intel released what they called an i2-1170, that was pentium based on 775 fabs and core archi - but was cheaper, faster and oc'd like a monster - I'd buy it. ... I'd not complain about it not being the same fab as a i7-3770 cos I wouldn't care.
Ooo I mean to say, new drivers day today ??

I guess we have already seen it on other sites. Shame not to get Tom's take on it though, I only imagine what he thinks of it.
tiny fugly card
herd it was supposed to be a lower card in the series that's why the pcb is so small
hate the power connectors on the ref card and seems a stuttering issue at decent fps hope drivers improve cus considering buy one.
cudnt really watercool this and look good in a system??

How much stock do we put into the rumers that thi was suppose to 640 or something? Do we think tere true or just fan boy stories, no disrespect ment there?
Reason I ask, and I know business is business blah, blah, blah, but is anyone else slightly riled that we're being charged more than we originaly whould have done for this card?
Wouldn't have been buying one of these anyway, just wondering what people think.

People wishfull thinking want to believe it was supposed to be the 650.
It's more likely the 670 was meant to be the 660 and the 680 was meant to be the 670.
I mean come on, do people actually believe Nvidia are that far ahead? No way the 670 was meant to be the 650, since when has any low end card had two 6pins and been that powerfull... never. Low end cards are low end for a reason.
Nvidia would be putting themselves out if the 670 was meant to be the 650, why would they release a low end card that was more powerfull than their previous high end card? Just doesn't make sense at all because no one would buy any 5xx series card, which means Nvidia would lose more money than making it.
I don't know what it is with Nvidia, but everywhere you go people seem to think the sun shines out their ass and they throw all logical thinking out of the window. The 670 supposing to be the 660 and the 680 supposing to be the 670 makes sense. The 670 supposing to be the 650 and the 680 the 660 doesn't both in terms of the amount of power they use and how much it would put the previous cards out of the market, losing Nvidia more money than making it.
Either way though they are overcharging, but so did AMD when they released the 7xxx series, the 7970 was £500 on release but can be had for £350 now, hopefully the same thing will happen with the 670 and 680

I agree with SieB, the 670 could well have meant to be the 660 or 660TI, but no lower than that. But tbh i believe the 670 is the 670, and the 680 is the 680. I just see the 670 as being sort of a "680 Lite Edition" due to the small PCB and similar-ish power, but it has a LOT of power especially for it's size
