Its named as a top tier card. So I guess Nvidia is up to its name changing game again. They should just call it a 660 TI instead of the BS.
Or maybe not, maybe they are just adjusting to the games of AMD. HD5800 was the high-end and 5700 midrange and then suddenly HD6900 is high-end and 6800 midrage and then again 7900 and 7800 even though there's no need to leave room on the low end this time around, because there's no low end.
So 680 against 7800 seems right, because what would marketng guys do otherwise? It's their job to try and eveluate if going to HD6900 is going to make it look faster and Nvidia's marketing job to evaluate if it did hurt them to have a lower number.
