ASUS GeForce GTX 760 DirectCU II OC Listed
European price-aggregator Geizhals.at sniffed out at least two retailers listing the upcoming ASUS GeForce GTX 760 DirectCU II OC graphics card. The card is priced at 316.5€ on average, including VAT and shipping; and 264€ excluding them. While the card itself isn't pictured by either store, specifications posted by Geizhals appear to check out with Monday's leaks. The card is based on a 28 nm GK104 silicon, with 1,152 CUDA cores, 96 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and a 256-bit wide memory interface holding 2 GB of memory. The way Geizhals describes it, the card features a dual-slot DirectCU II cooler. We don't expect it to look much different from the one that cools DirectCU II versions of GTX 660 Ti or GTX 670. The 264€ pre-VAT pricing of this non-reference design, factory-overclocked card suggests that most GTX 760 cards should be priced in the neighborhood of US $250 to $300.

Price wise it is the same as the GTX 670 now (i don't see the point if the 670 is better...). The retailer said that it will let us know the final price and availability in a couple of days.
Here is a link to the product (Warning! It's in Hebrew):
Gigabyte Geforce GTX760 2GB (N760OC2GD)
760 at stock clocks is faster than a 670, and should overclock to atleast match a 680. At the price of a 660Ti (Possibly a 660 NON Ti if you want a lower clocked version)
Honestly, I won't speculate on what a 760's might come in at... Green Marketing has proven my judgments now wrong twice lately. That said, and the consideration this may well be a gelding from last year's production Nvidia could be very aggressive on the release MSRP.
But considering such a card may well perform between a 7950 and a regular 7970, AMD may well have a struggle on their hands. Hard to say how much market truly remains in sales. Though this will/should dislodge any folks that have not felt the need to upgrade from 470, 560, 5870, 6970 and such is undeniable.
on another retailer I can find even cheaper GTX670s than the price of the GTX760 that was listed. Again, we are talking Israeli prices here, not US/EU!
And the price isn't final either.
