NVIDIA Kepler speculation thread

Isnt is weird that Heaven identifies a retail card as GK104?

 

300.65 had only a "GK104" string in its inf. GPU-Z detects the same.

He should run 3DMark11 to see if GPU Boost is active in this driver version.

 

does driver screw the all things?

 

card probably indeed runs @700Mhz, it shouldnt be much faster than GTX580 @ similar clocks..
same settings GTX580 54 FPS

Someone mentioned a 'special edition' that runs Heaven 3x1080 at 29 fps. Maybe there are other GTX 680 versions.

 

Here's a result from my GTX570 (825/4200MHz) at the same settings:

 

could be there's 2 default clock state ? 706mhz look really too low ( 580=772mhz, if it was 860mhz 960mhz i will be less dubitative )

Anyway is the photo we have seen yesterday arent the same ? they was taken from this thread ?

 

Yeah perhaps it has a switch that enables the user to either run it in performance or "Eco" mode. Most games should still run more than well enough at 706 Mhz.

 

Less than 72 hours

Less than 72 hours for REAL reviews from reputable sites.

These pre-NDA so called reviews usually have many errors or omissions.

I am also looking forward to a white paper on the new Kepler architecture.

 

I was think to an automatic states.. 706mhz= 3D1 and 1006mhz = 3D2.

The second only kick in when the render start for save power and not when is launched the *.exe

This dont explain why the chinese guys had 1006mhz reported on actual gpu speed and the 706mhz on default clock. ( who is exactly what will show GPU-z if you oc the card ).
I cant even imagine the chinese guys was use a retail OC cards.. 300mhz difference is a bit too much for the first cards to hit the markets.

Lets hope it is just a read problem on the card of the OCUK guy.

100% aggree...

 

to compare, gtx460 OC@ 850/1700/2000 SLI:

 

2090RM ~685USD

Perhaps it operates at 706 Mhz if only the upper power connector is equipped and at 1006 Mhz if you plug in two?

 

My 3930k at 4.5Ghz is waiting for a new video card (or two), so hurry up NV with your bad self!

Given what I'm seeing here, it might still be a 7950 + Über overclock for me after all Nevertheless, I'm still OK with waiting for real benches.

 

$685 USD? Ugh, at this point I think we're all waiting for the GK106. I need to upgrade my card pretty badly and have been holding out the last half year for Kepler but this is frustrating. Trying to think of a reason not to buy the 7850 which goes on sale this week. If the GK106 is another 2 months out then I just don't see how Nvidia will retain the performance segment ($200-$300 USD) customers like me.

 

Haha! Eco-mode.

 

Or perhaps this is the gtx670...

 

706MHz@987mV and 1006MHz@1087mV Turbo 195W TDP, if there is still room to hit 195W it continues to boost say 50-100MHz or null.. without Turbo it consumes less juice than a GTX560Ti.. Ailuros hinted something similar while ago on another forum.. Probably Turbo mode doesnt work on earlier drivers than 300.99..

GPU-Z 0.6.0 with GTX 680 support released, maybe now we can get a better reading of the clocks.
