*Typo in the title, it's supposed to be "Flagship"

Excuse me while I go change my underware.

dam 1 grand for a graphics card, but 60+ fps on all those high-demanding games on ultra settings...

I want NVIDIA to release their REAL successor to the 580, because the 680 uses GK104 which isn't as good as GK110. The 680 should have been the 660ti, but they upped it a bid and sold it to compete with AMD's 7970 because NVIDIA has a few things up their sleeve and knew that they could cut a corner...

GTX 685. I want nao.

I love my GTX 550 ti :fa:
