Where are the 680's little brothers?

marqmajere · Apr 15, 2012, 03:00 AM

The 680 is a damn impressive card, but I can't pay $500 for an upgrade right now. Where are the 670 and 660 series vid cards? Any word when they might be available to purchase?

They are all on Ebay, start bidding and let that hurt flow through you

. They are available and going for what the market will support. Looks like the available cards from the manufacturers are being sold to the highest paying retailers - a.k.a Ebay stores. Which if the supplies are few will limit the 680's to stores selling them greater then the suggested retail price.

$750 Bones is a bit rich for my blood.. Specifically the MSI Frozr, must say after having 2 5770s Twin Frozrs.. I don think I could go back to anything but them after dealing with a reference card... even the best bang for the buck (7850 IMO) are going for upwards of $100 over MSRP due to lack of supply.. the only other decent deal concerning perf/$ has been the couple of GTX 480s at around $200 (Newegg/TigerDirect/Microcenter)

So, I could sell my 680 and pick up two 7870s?

7970 is a great price/perf component because it can be had for 480 boners...
