@SashaX

I have a Phantom and its probably the best cooler I've had on a card. I've tried Zotac AMP! 3 slot and ASUS Direct CUII and the Phantom is my favourite. far better than the ref, which I started with.

Havent looked at fan speed but gaming I've yet to see it go over 61C and silent with it. Its a 2 and a half slot fit if you're considering sli.

3d Mark extreme score gave me an increase from 3200 to 3450 roughly boost at factory overclock.

I dont see the need to overclock further, but liked the idea of a better power phase design for longevity.

Now I'm seriously leaning towards the GTX 690. One of those bad boys and I won't be upgrading for about 4 years (I hope).

Damn you nvidia, just when I had my heart set on the Asus 680

According to THG....it's actually true.... Oh yeah, and it may be up to 6 months before 660Ti launches....

Wouldn't problems in design have shown effects by now? So far from all reviews and user experiences, the card seems to be performing flawlessly.

Its not news its rumors,they even say that themselves.
With alot jumping on the 680 cards that would normally get a $250 card i could see them being sold out..it sucks that nv does not have there mid range cards out
It does not take a rocket guy to think that somethings up...but what?

Design problems show in different ways. In this case, the problems seem to affect manufacturing. Could simply be that the design is extremely complex and difficult to manufacture. Or, it could just be that TSMC has competency issues....

From what I understand, that guy is a stupidly biased idiot (who, weirdly, worships amd which is currently in the sh*t) - if you read someone like that, you're no less of an idiot
