Except its not a victor at all. Even 8xSGSSAA can produce noticeable aliasing in motion because of the simple box filter used.
TXAA is so intriguing as it aims to do more than produce pretty still images.
I'd use the notify option on the Evga site. Managed to snag one on Friday that'll ship out tomorrow. I cancelled my TigerDirect order which was on backorder til mid April.

Cool, just did that.
I have heard early April - which means it could be another week. Just keep checking. I had the same issue when the 7970s launched - so while at work I just F5'd the NewEgg section where they're stocked and within a couple days of doing so I was able to snag one.

Congratulations on the uber-rig.
You may be right but then you need better eyes than mine to notice any aliasing with 8xSGSSAA at 1600p.....
It is unfortunately there. poisson disc sample distribution IMOTBH
Well, this is certainly interesting.

Is that a graphics card with a cooling assembly? or a death-bot?

Well, I have my GTX 580 1.5GB for sale if anyone is interested ($320). Damned upgrade bug bit me.
I may hold off for the eventual 4GB version of this card though. I'm upgrading either way though.

Heh, good luck with that! I sold 2x MSI Twin Frozr III GTX 570 1.25GB for $375 shipped total. The market has hit the bottom...may as well just get your money so you can recoup it in a newer card!

Is there any word on release date for the GTX 670? I'm probably going nVidia this round, but $500 is a bit too much for me.

Most likely Augst-Nov..
Why is this 'most likely'?
The GTX560 and 570 were released about a month after the 580. I'm not trying to be disingenuous, but is it so odd to believe the 600 series won't follow suit?

Balls if that ends up being the case. Might just eat the $100 over budget in that case.

Any word on the date and price of the 4gb 680's? I already have my main PC parts I might wait for those if they're to come out soon.

I've always wondered how heat goes with that kind of setup? Seems like those things would catch fire with the heat being generated and the lack of space in between them to get air moving. Or is that really a non-issue?
Blower style, it pushes the heat out the back.

No game that exists could cause such awesome rig to overheat.

Not really as the 680's run cooler than the 580's with less power draw. I know some folks that had 480's set up like that and talk about not needing a heater in the winter with that set up. But really, if you are running them at stock mhz or even a slight bump, from what I heard a 3 way set up like that runs pretty damn good temp wise.

But.. you want them... do you?
I don't know..I kind of question it myself so I posted it here. I don't think it's a limitation of the tv's refresh rate, but more to do with hdmi spec 1.4 not having the bandwidth to do 1080p60 in 3d. It seems they intentionally left DVI inputs off, but I'm not a tech expert by any means.

Yeah, I'm talking about the HDMI limitation, not the display. Anyway, I guess we'll see.

I don't see a whole lot of space for the blowers to be sucking air in, do they run louder than if the card was free and clear?

The Zotac GTX 680 comes with Assassins Creed 1, 2 & Revelations, for now it seems it's the only brand to come with a game.
Air doesn't require much space to move. The ends of the cards are tapered to allow a gap for air to flow. They don't run any louder cause blower fans run loud no matter what. Axial fans are quiet and OK for single card setup in a properly vented case but in SLI they are dumping a lot of heat inside the case and then reusing the hot air again to try and cool again.

Be careful with advices, I just learned that GAF doesn't have sense of humor when it comes to joking about having certain items in your possession that are not yours.

They're GTX 680's. Even *I* felt a little tempted just reading it. ;P
