That's the most impressive part.

I wouldn't call it impressive. More like... depressing. Depressing because there's no well in hell I can work the card in my new comp budget. And I was looking forward to it too.

You're expecting cheaper than the previous gen on a new fab process? It should be costing more, a fuck load more.

Call it wishful thinking. Oh well, time to wait for the GTX 660's whenever those come out.

I'm personally looking at a 670 or 680, or the AMD equivalents which should be the 7870 and 7970. I might go with Nvidia though since performance wise they're mostly the same while Nvidia has all the fancies like PhysX, TXAA or this new adaptive vSync

[QUOTE=wingless;35245024]A lot of those reviews were written before official launch and use sources that aren't exactly respectable, a lot are very sensationalist. I'd mostly trust the reviews in the coming few hours.

Dammit, mergebreak.

[BrainBoggler]

Hopefully with the release of the GTX 680, the 580 will drop down in price. :( Just realised the motherboard I just bought doesn't have a 3.0 16x PCI slot, so getting a 680 is out of the question.

It's backward compatible.

[Makol]

I'm buying two GTX 680s as soon as I can.

Hi Makol. Did I cover the launch good?

I am proud.

Good job Wingless.

Have a cookie or two.

Ok. Can you take over? I wanna sleep now.

[BrainBoggler]

[QUOTE=wingless;35245416]It's backward compatible.[/QUOTE]

It is? Well sweet. Though, for the price that it's at, I don't think I'll be able to pick it up just yet. Still hoping for the price drop of the 580!

And yes wingless, you covered it well. Thanks for all the videos!

[AshMan]

A good time to be building my first pc. Looks like a 680 it is

[QUOTE=wingless;35245447]Ok. Can you take over? I wanna sleep now.[/QUOTE]

Give me 15 minutes.

I just woke up.

I need to shower and stuffs.

[Wingar]

Yeah, I know who it is but they still deserve to be posted here.

If there is anything to like about motherboards.org it's Elric's enthusiasm.

I actually watch them because I find the guy to have that weird annoyingly funny personality. Why do people hate them so much, besides the occasional content?

This.
He's also a bit of an ass and just a plain ass generic reviewer. I'm sure there's other reasons. But my main reason is there's better reviewers. Look at TTL. He has an amazing ability to connect with the viewer and give a spot on, perfect review of everything he reviews. He doesn't talk to the camera like it's a camera, and doesn't talk down to said camera. He's an all around awesome and funny guy and gets probably the most accurate reviews out there.

[Makol]

Best reviewer: TTL

Best unboxer: Linus

Best tips/cool things: Linus

Best enthusiasm: Elric

Best all around: TTL

imo of course

[Wooops: 404]

Wow, the 680 uses 15W more than a 560ti, and is more than double the speed.

TTL's enthusiasm lately has been awesome. That 30 minute video where he didn't talk had me smiling the whole time.

[Makol]

Yeah I know but that's mostly recently, I was judging over the past few years.

Elric actually has been through a lot, not saying Tom hasn't, but through all of it he kept a smile and being humorous.

Linus has the best "spreadsheet" reviews.
TTL Talks from the heart kinda thing while Linus gives you the best numbers.
