"A 3DCenter.org report shed light on what NVIDIA's GPU lineup for 2013 could look like. According to the report, NVIDIA's next-generation GPUs could follow a similar path to previous-generation "Fermi Refresh" (GF11x), which turned the performance-per-Watt equation around back in favor of NVIDIA, even though the company's current GeForce Kepler has an established energy-efficiency lead. The "Kepler Refresh" family of GPUs (GK11x), according to the report, could see significant increases in cost-performance, with a bit of clever re-shuffling of the GPU lineup.

NVIDIA's GK104 GPU exceeded performance expectations, which allowed it to drive this generation's flagship single-GPU graphics card for NVIDIA, the GTX 680, giving the company time to perfect the most upscaled chip of this generation, and for its foundry partners to refine its 28 nm manufacturing process. When it's time for Kepler Refresh to go to office, TSMC will have refined its process enough for mass-production of GK110, a 7.1 billion transistor chip on which NVIDIA's low-volume Tesla K20 GPU compute accelerator is currently based.
The GK110 will take back the reins of powering NVIDIA's flagship single-GPU product, the GeForce GTX 780. This product could offer a massive 40-55% performance increase over GeForce GTX 680, with a price ranging anywhere between US $499 and $599. The same chip could even power the second fastest single-GPU SKU, the GTX 770. The GK110 physically packs 2880 CUDA cores, and a 384-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface"

thanks for the link.

its pretty strange so many people are easily led to believe that nvidia wont release a gk110 as a geforce. Its kind of way out of their character. Anyway, would also like to challenge charlie D saying that geforce will only get the poor cut down silicon for geforce gk110s. Its not gonna happen. Just as with fermi, nvidia can have higher speed geforce than tesla brand. I expect we will see that again too.

Actually I also believed that consumer Gk110 won't happen, guess I was wrong.But hey I am happy about it

the lower your expectations the less likely to be disappointed. So i guess its better for you to not be expecting much this next generation. It brings a higher chance of great joy of the likes you have never experienced.

A lot of sites are running it, maybe it's legit?

My heart strings can't take this, I need me a gk110

Well, ABT has been saying to expect a GK110 GeForce since May


We don't get a lot of respect for being right

As did I, but I (probably) did get it right in saying that if it came out as a Geforce card it would be more expensive than the typical $499 price point Nvidia's single GPU flagship has been at release in the past several years.

Hopefully wrong on both counts, I hope Nvidia brings some semblance of reason to the mid and high end price ranges once again.

If not for maximized profits, to at least cripple AMD when they're already down.

If it is indeed "40-55%" faster than 680 no way it will sell for $499 unless AMD can do something magical.
