This was mostly unexpected, but then again, AMD have been waving their big red flag all over the Internet in the last few days due to the leaked AMD Radeon HD 7970 performance and specs. Today, we have PCINLIFE leaking an NVIDIA slide, that shows the difference in performance between their current single-GPU hero, the GeForce GTX 580 versus the GeForce GTX 780.

Say what? GeForce GTX 780?? Not GTX 680? Yes!



The above slide shows the performance between the current GTX 580 and the next-gen Kepler-based GTX 780. The test bed is a Core i7-3960X, Windows 7 64-bit, 297-Series driver, 2560x1600 resolution with both AA and AF enabled. The GTX 780 is virtually twice as fast as the GTX 580 if the chart is correct.

Impressive... no wait, there's a better word for this, amazing. No, that's not good enough. CAN O' WHOOP ASS. Yeah, that'll do. But, why the skip from the 600-Series to the 700-Series... well, it would make sense if NVIDIA want to not be affected by AMD's Radeon series, and feel like they're on an even playing field.

AMD's next-gen cards are a 7-series (7xx0) and NVIDIA's next-gen, if released in number order, would be the GTX 6xx range. Skipping the 6 and going to 7 would make sense, and if it provides a near-100-percent improvement in performance, NVIDIA can do whatever the heck they want and I'm sure we'll all still love the name.

2012 is definitely going to be the year of GPUs. Now we just need some games, or monitor upgrades to make the new GPU power worth it.

Remember: This is just a leak, rumor, so TweakTown advise that you're up-to-date with your grains of salt and skill levels of pinching

What do you guys Reckon
Real or Fake?

Probably fake. I only say that because of the "Nvidia Confidential" in the bottom right.

But hey, will just have to wait and see.

if true, huzzah. if not, some nerd likes photoshop

They're not leaking anything, that graph is old news.

fake

^ This.

Some pretty sad nerds out there if they have to resort to attention whoring like this.

Yea , i Know Where you Guys are coming from But but what i think is that since The new Benchmarks for the new AMD Radeon 7970, Nvidia are probably creating something that are going dominate the Graphics vendors or Vendor seeing that Their competion is still AMD/Ati Who knows their may be New nm Chips gpus's might have newer technology Other then Phyx and Cuda . You if you think about it i wonder what after market coolers like how msi have their Licensed Twin frozr I /II /II and How they Factory Tweak The Gpu's Setting ^. Sorry i forgot to mention the Memory Bandwidth and Bandwidth speed would you guys reckon that it will be using the new pci-e 3.0 ?
