The difference between the two will be massive ( those two should've been 660 Ti & 680 ).
Just bear with the numbers:
48 ROPs vs 32 ROPs
128 TMUs vs 128 TMUs
2304 SPs vs 1536 SPs
384bit vs 256bit
3GB vs 2GB
+ some compute features unique to the 780 ( GPGPU )

Can't tell when they'll launch it.
Could be anytime this year.
Could be June... July... August... September... October... November... aaaand... December.

Yea ..... looks to be the same release cycle then

8 months at best on top

Actually this will workout decent for me, being I am in the midst of moving I am hoping to be ready to bench by then and in the interim take Doms approach beating retro cards to the brink .............

Think one or two of the 780's will have to be on my Christmas list

Havent seen any clocking results yet.

If it is a poor clocker, you can expect the 685 or 780 or 680ti x2 + SX69 edition as soon as they get the wafers ironed out.

GPU Boost should be better next time around I hope. Really 5%, thats a boost? why not scrub boost and just sell it at those clocks? Fricking retarded

They already hit 1800+ on ln2 can't get the link right now but it passed 3dmark11

But only by Vince, just like the clocks achieved by Andre and Shamino on 7970 have not been touched by anyone else........we should wait and watch....

Ive already had 2 samples to over 1300 on air man, theyre not bad clockers.... the only bitch part is there is no way to set a hard clock, it all is offsets and runs from a reference point of the voltage/load, so you will definitely need Precision X to make it run well, but even then im sure better software may show up in the future that allows for even more voltage overhead.

I'm sorry to inform you guys but....

GTX 680 @ 1.9GHz - 3D Mark11 WR by Vince

They've also hit 2GHz.
Result should be published soon

A point well remembered before jumping in

[BenchZowner]

If you can, wait for non-reference models.
( for LN2 obviously, for 24/7 usage the stock cards are perfect )

Hmm... terribly efficiency though. I except someone to come along and beat that soon.

7970 is right there are 1690 MHz (280 points lower score), so if 680 is more efficient than 7970 it should be nabbing first place with only 1500-1550 MHz.
