Editorial Did NVIDIA Originally Intend to Call GTX 680 as GTX 670 Ti?

[RejZoR]

Ppl are exaggerating the whole GTX 680 vs HD7970 deal. The cards are virtually identical, each with its better and worse sides. As for the pricing, AMD set it so high because competition had nothing to offer. They might decrease them, if sales decline below what they want.

Get a clue huh?

I was going to reply to you, but then you made the dumbass comment above and I couldn't be bothered. It's you who needs to read and understand.

That would explain why the GTX 680 has only 256bit bus and cheaper price...

You are 100% correct. The only issue is both cards are OverPriced, and that is a FACT

You guys would make my day if not for the rest of this (should I say it?! f**boy?!) crowd. This is what we got from AMD before, Intel now, and obviously: ATI(AMD) and nVIDIA all the time. There is just one slight difference, an error in judgment if you will: nVIDIA should of priced it higher, because this kind of moves usually mean WAR!

I'm talking business-wise, I'm talking long run, because otherwise, if I neglect the bu**sh*t business side of their story, I fell like we should have a following situation:
- a high-end parts ("real" 7970/680) for half a price
- and a infra/ultra/giga/mega/Fatal1ty/some-or-another dumbass marketing labeled part, maybe dual-GPU versions of 7970/680, premium, highest-end model, gold-anodized, priced sky-high and made solely for purpose of removing itches for guys like qubit.

Only then would a world be a much prettier place to live in, and our eyes would be grateful and healthy as well.

Complete nonsense. Price competition is were its at. How is Price Fixing a business point of view
Anyhow, personally going from gen to gen, this gen is not quite fast enough vs. last gen, yet the prices are over inflated once again. Both companies are setting the price bar way too high that forces people to buy expensive or stick to what you currently have.
