Catalyst 12.1 and 12.2 Preview both do not support the 7900 series. I can't wait for the 7950 to land and watch AMD fork it again.

I can't believe it's been two months now and Nvidia not only doesn't have competition to the 7000 series yet, they haven't even said anything about it.

The most surprising thing about these GTX 680 reviews coming out are on the power consumption/acoustics side of things. Nvidia finally seems to be getting those under control and even beating AMD to some degree.

I'll probably pick one up, but I'm waiting for a store I buy from here in Canada has stock in the EVGA version. Now that the results are in, I'm getting off my experiment with the AMD card. I know people have had different experiences so I'm not trying to start another debate. All I know is that personally the past year-and-a-half since I switched to using a Radeon card has been a non-stop barrage of driver issues. The fact that you can now turn on Triple Buffering in DirectX and apply FXAA to anything directly in the new Nvidia drivers without fooling around with third-party tools is the clincher for me. That new vsync option sounds pretty interesting, too.

Nvidia are also working on something called TXAA which could be interesting. kuddles fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Mar 23, 2012 |

I actually put money down to pre-order the EVGA GTX 680 at NCIX. I also asked for autonotify for all brands of the card at NewEgg for when they are no longer "Out of Stock". This all happened March 28th. At this point, I refuse to believe this card actually exists. kuddles fucked around with this message at 14:06 on Apr 20, 2012 |

I can understand no longer offering driver support in terms of performance enhancements, etc., but it seems odd that they won't even provide official drivers for Windows 8 at the very least.
