Only drawback is the yields are ****ty no one has ****** stock :(, Plz take my money and give me 4x GTX680 Classifieds

Good thing I have 5 addresses I can use, hahaha!

I think the GK100's will be the fully unlocked ones, but no idea if they will ever come out.

U mean GK110? Heh why wait when u will can buy GTX 680 CLASSY and OC to more then 30% and be happy while GK110 will be released. Selling and then buying GK110 - problem solved!

Wow, nice!  Will us regular 680 owners be able to step-up? 

Most likely not.

All powered by a 14 Phase PWM, with 4096MB of GDDR5 memory.

FOURTEEN??? Almost flipped out of my chair. Sickest card I've ever seen.

 
>Implying we've seen huge overclocking gains with cards that have the 5 phase pwm that are out already... oh jk lol voltage is locked.

What type of display connections can we hope to see? I know you guys chopped a connection or two for the 580 classified, so I was wondering if any such changes will be made in that regard? (if so I hope you can keep the display port)

Because extra airflow also provides extra voltage!

Voltage is only a problem if you care about your warrenty. I don't intend to use mine as there will be a 685 out by the time I kill my card if I do end up frying it, so I'll take out my soldering iron if we're limited to less than 1.25V on the classified.

Point is with this level of enthusiast hardware, the voltage lock shouldn't be there, period.  Asus made it MUCH easier to unlock with one of their cards (Direct CU) with a couple of simple soldering points.  I really, really hope EVGA comes out swinging and either gives us the same options (simple solder) with the Classified or goes a step further and provides a switch.
 
BTW:  I don't know a lot of people willing to toss away 700 bucks worth of Video card.  I'm not.

Six hundred. Not seven hundred. The 580 classified was 550, this thing is going to be an absolute beast, I'll give it a guess cost of $575, but I highly doubt it will be more than $600. My GTX 460 SE suits me fine since I don't play modern games (CSS is the heaviest usage my video card generally gets), hardware is all about bragging rights and fun for me ^^

Have you seen the price on regular 4GB versions from other companies? I highly doubt this will be under $600 lol

To give a prime example, the GTX 670 stock is $60 less than a non-overclocked 4GB.

I expect the Classy 680s to be $649.99

Well then I won't have any availibility issues. Everyone will just get the vanilla hydro copper :D

Yep, it will cost six hounds.

Is there any idea, in which period the card will be released?
 
Sry but i do not read the complete thread.

Sometimes in June. Again I think these cards will be OUT OF STOCK at the beginning of their release period... So I would count at July on ur place or if u will be lucky then u will be able to get...

Buys reference gtx 680 sli, happy for 1 month then I found out signature come out. sad again.. then I found out ftw come out 1 month after.. sad again.. then I found out classified is on its way for next month or so. Sad yet again.. then I find out classified ultra is on it way for a month after classified release.. SAD AGAIN!!!
Buys classified ultra.. then I find out gk110 is coming 1 or 2 months after. WTH!!!! Process repeats..

Then you do anything wrong.
 
I only wait for the Classified Model. That's more then enough!
 

Just buy something and enjoy it. waiting around for a few percentage points of improvement doesnt make much sense to me, unless all you care about is being able to say you have the fastest card. Buy cards that suit your needs, and play some games and have fun. If youre an extreme overclocker that is only interested in benchmark scores, I can understand a bit, but even then, that is a losing game to play unless youre ridiculously wealthy. (if i was, I'd spend money frivolously on video cards too though)
