Cant wait. Though will be amazing when GPUs utilize GDDR 6. IMO that will be real upgrade.

@below

GTX670 is amazing, most of the time within few FPS of the GTX680. They are amazing value.

I got 2 GTX 670s, I think I'll be good for 2 years... to run everything max settings, I hope so

RankFTW4025d ago

I have 2 GTX 680 Lightning's so will probably not upgrade unless Nvidia pull something awesome out of the bag. I game at 1440p also so depending on how much VRAM they have I'll have to see.

ABizzel14025d ago

More than likely it'll be an upgrade to the 600 series.

I doubt AMD's 9000 series will be that much of an improvement over the 7000 and 8000 (the 8000 being just a rebrand of the 7000 with some newer (useless IMO) models).

jcornish4025d ago

@hydrolex i have the same, they are tanky as hell aha we should be good for a while :)

AMD GPU's are BOSS!! HD7970GHZ is the KING! Nvidia made Titan just to save face but a HD7970 CFX set up for $750 beats the crap out a Titan which is $1000!

AMD has been on a rampage as of late and have done so well that they don't plan on releasing HD8000 until 2014 with GDDR6 and maybe DX12

The Never Settle Campaign is a success as almost every AMD GPU comes with a great free game or TWO. I got Tomb Raider FarCry3 Crysis 3 and Bioshock Infinite all for FREE with my 2 HD7970 purchases.

But Never Fear Nvidia is not down and out. They are still a good buy but Nvidia's focus on TEGRA has let AMD take the top GPU spot.

I'm sure these GTX600 refreshes will push the GTX780 performance pass the HD7970GHZ but buy then the HD7000 prices will be too ROCK BOTTOM to pass up!

Good for Gamers all around!

WUTCHUGUNNADO4025d ago

Already forked over my $600 on a 680gtx... they'll have to whip out the 800 or 900 series before I'll dish that kind of money out again.

KingPin4025d ago

wtf?!!
$600 for a graphics card.
zim dollars?

ABizzel14025d ago

You gotta pay the price if you want max settings on your games.

That being siad GTX 680's can be found for just under $500 now, so it's a bit more affordable. That or a 7970GHz.

WUTCHUGUNNADO4025d ago

$600 isn't that bad... kinda out there for most but definitely not the most expensive. I just payed to be ahead of the curve... The 680 will be capable of playing games for years to come.

dcbronco4025d ago

Console makers need to start offering Ultra models to take some of that money. A $600 console that isn't pushing some new disc format or alien CPU architecture could compete on graphics and be upgraded every 3 years. MS could put a 8 core(Power) APU in a box with a secondary discrete GPU and compete with anything on PC. Or use a special Windows 8(Gaming Blue) OS and go toe to toe with Gaming PCs. If people are willing to spend $600 on a card every few years why not go after it. It would only take a short time to prove it could compete.

SITH4024d ago (Edited 4024d ago )

My $1000 GTX 690 must give you a heart attack if $600 disturbs you.

Game victorious!

i see this site cant see jokes when they made.
damn its sad. gamers nowadays are waaaayyyyy too serious.

but yeah, $600 is a bit steep. im surprised gaming is gone this expensive.
back in the day a top of the range rig could be bought for $600, graphics card included.

but hey, happy gaming bro. enjoy.

ExCest4025d ago

No way. Back in the day with COD4 and stuff, a top of the line rig cost over $1k. I have no idea about mid/low range but I do know that back then, $200 for an 8800 was considered expensive. Now that price is only reserved for mid/lowish range cards.

Biggest4025d ago

Back in the day. . . CoD4. . .

Kids these days.

KingPin4024d ago

Excest
Some of us were playing pc games long before COD4 came along.
we were games when unreal tournament 99 was the HALO/COD of its day.
even before that we played games when need for speed looked like this
http://www.pcgameshardware....
when 4MB of video memory allowed you to run games on high settings.
when voodoo 2 8MB was the card of choice among gamers.
and yes, those were the days where $600 for a pc was insane.

come back when you older kiddo.

GetSnooked4025d ago

I'm still chuggin along with my Geforce FX5200 lols

WUTCHUGUNNADO4025d ago

600x480 everything low I bet. 5fps max :p

Plagasx4025d ago

Ahhh....the good ol days. I remember way back when the 5200 was my first video card and Far Cry and Half-Life 2 was the first game I tested...

ninjahunter4024d ago

I was so excited that i could play FEAR(on low). I was like OMG DA GRAPHIIIIICCCSSSSS
XD Oh the good ol days.

Bethesda Needs to Reduce the Gaps Between New Fallout and Elder Scrolls Releases

Waiting a decade for new instalments in franchises as massive as Fallout and Elder Scrolls feels like a waste.

Microsoft have Obsidian but I feel it's Bethesda who just don't want to play ball as they've always said they want to do it themselves.

Once MS bought Zenimax in 2020 they should have put the Outer Worlds 2 on the back burner, allow Bethesda to finish off its own Space RPG with Starfield (despite totally different tone why have two in your first party portfolio with two developers who's gameplay is a tad similar) and got Obsidian for one of their projects to make a spiritual successor to New Vegas.

When the Elder Scrolls VI is finished Bethesda can then onto the main numbered Fallout 5 themselves.

The Outer Worlds 2 started development in 2019 so putting it on the back burner wouldn't have been the end of the world, they'd have always come back to it once Fallout was done and it would have been nicely spaced out from Starfields release once they had most likely stopped supporting it and all the expansions were released.

If they did this back in 2020 when they bought Zenimax and the game had a good, steady 4 - 5 years development, you might have seen it release in 2025.

We are literally going to be waiting until 2030 at the very earliest for Fallout 5 and all they seem bothered about is pushing Fallout 76.

RaidenBlack3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Its not just only Todd not playing ball.
Obsidian have made a name for themselves in delivering stellar RPGs, but most famous once have always been sequels/spin-offs to borrowed IPs like KOTOR 2, Neverwinter Nights 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Stick of Truth etc.
Obsidian wants to invest more in their own original IPs like Outer Worlds or Pillars of Eternity with Avowed.
Similar to what Bluepoint & inXile wants to do or Kojima is doing (i.e not involving anymore in Konami's IPs).
So yea, even if New Vegas has the most votes from 3D Fallout fans, Obsidian just wants to do their own thing, like any aspiring dev studio and MS is likely currently respecting that.
But a future Fallout game from Obsidian will surely happen. Founder Feargus Urquhart has already stated an year ago that they're eager to make a new Fallout game with Bethesda, New Vegas 2 or otherwise. Urquhart was the director of the very first 1995's Fallout game after all.
And don't forget Brian Fargo and his studio inXile, as Brian Fargo was the director of Fallout's 1988 predecessor: Wasteland

KyRo14m ago(Edited 12m ago)

Obsidian should take over the FO IP. They're do far better with it than Bethesda who hasn't made a great game for almost 15 years

Athenian Rhapsody Throws WarioWare into a JRPG

Athenian Rhapsody is a JRPG with a difference: alongside turn-based combat & exploration, you'll need to complete WarioWare-style microgames.
