680M is OUT!

[Speedy Gonzalez]

The GTX680M = 85% GTX670

my desktop :
GTX670 @ 1.1G/1.77G + 3770K
3DMark11 = P10290+

M18X R2 7970Ms Crossfire + 3920XM (in default)
3DMark11 = P10500+

M18X R1 580Ms SLI(OC 890/850/1780) + 2960XM(OC 4.8GHZ)
3DMark11 = P8858


In conclusion , the GTX680M will the 7970M

default single GTX680M = P7400~P7600
default single Radeon 7970M = P5800~P6000

Spoiler :

can you downclock your 670 to 680M clocks and run 3D mark 11 ? that will give us a better idea

720MHZ core 900MHZ memory also downclock your beast CPU a little to match mobile CPU's lol

Awesome post, mitsuhide. I hope you're right RE: the 680M capabilities! That, I would pay extra for.

1300+ cuda core? Yeah right, if that is true one card will do P10000 3Dmark11.

The card is probably based on the GTX 670 which means there's about 20-30% downclock. So at best, you are looking at about 6k 3Dmark11.

It will be interesting to see the "official" benches for the 680M as compared to the 7970M.

While memory isn't everything the 680 looks hefty - 1300+ cuda cores and 4gb's of memory on a single card.

I'm tempted to get the 680M just for the cuda availability. I'm teaching myself to code and being able to code into a cuda environment would be interesting.

1300 cores in a single card?
I don't think so.
notebookcheck shows 768 cores in a single 680m.

When I go to configure it, the estimated ship date: July 5.

EDIT: also - it's ~$300 more than the 7970M!

Configured one this morning with estimated ship date of 6/18. Classic black chassis, 680m, 3610QM & 8GB 1600MHz RAM were the only changes I made.

What I want to know is how Origin got the first crack at this card. No disrespect intended; just curious how they have it up and no one else does.

What Speedy said ...

Engadget has a note [I wouldn't call it a review] up that details the specs as well and they are as Speedy has listed.

While the shear number of Cuda cores looks impressive, I'm very curious about the clock speed this card will see. Both Maxpc and Engadget have noted that the 680M supports Nvidia's upclocking tech so it will be interesting to see if the 720mhz number listed is the down-clocked speed or the up-clocked speed.

I expect the GTX 680M SLI will be absolutely amazing, and worth every penny of the extra money.

I just hope they fix the DPD latency and the throttling for ever.

AWESOME! Right after getting 7970M, too. I'm eager to see how it runs. AMD needs some pressure to release a good driver. These cards are beasts, though.

Wasn`t you that guy (lol) who prefered Nvidia GPUs after some issues with your AMD GPUs earlier? Why did you rush to buy the 7970M?
