The launch of the Geforce GTX 680 provided AMD with more than a little healthy competition in the latest 28nm generation. Nvidia’s latest graphics processor performs better on average than AMD’s flagship and is also competitively priced, giving rise to new speculation that price cuts are underway.
Yesterday’s launch of Nvidia’s latest and greatest, the GeForce GTX 680, was preceded by a great deal of secrecy, especially regarding the potential price tag.

Both AMD and NVIDIA have confirmed that their first video cards built on the 28nm process will launch in 2012, but the word was that part of AMDs lineup would see the light of day as early as late 2011. This appears to be wrong, according to the latest rumors.
