So $480-550 hey? Pretty much 680 prices then for a very marginal speed boost (that was $499 msrp at launch). There's only so much you can do without a die shrink though. I can't say I'm overawed by 7xx but I also don't think it's just a money-grab.


Kinda weird we have never done a deal lol
You know what my biggest issue is, with this card and the previous gen lightning. They advertise all these amazing overclocking features:

•Unlocked BIOS,
•Digital PWM Controller,
•Enhanced Power Design (8+8pin power connectors),
•Xtreme Thermal design◦Twin Frozr IV cooler with Dust Removal technology
◦Propeller Blade technology,
◦Dual 10cm PWM fans,
◦SuperPipe Technology,
◦Nickel-plated Copper Base,
◦Dual Form-in-one Heatsinks

•Military Class III Components,◦CopperMOS
◦Golden Super State Chokes
◦High-Conductive Capacitors
◦Dark Solid Capacitors

•3×3 OC Kits◦V-Check points
◦Triple Overvoltage
◦Triple Temp Monitor

But Nvidia still locks down the voltage...lol
