Recently we had the #-Link-Snipped-# series showing price and some core specifications. Now AMD's premier rival NVIDIA is ready with its line-up of graphics cards to compete along with AMD for a place in your gaming rig. So here we have the complete Kepler line-up for you. Have a look and decide who's ready for a slot in your PC.

The above chart has listed GPU's starting with GTX 460 being the Mainstream card to the GTX 690 being the Enthusiast dual-GPU card. If you notice, the higher end cards (GK110 series) has got a larger die size of 550mm² compared to AMD's higher end cards which have a die size of 365mm² and they are even 30mm² larger than its own previous generation GF110 (GTX 580) cards.
The Kepler series will feature the new PCIe3.0 x16 Bus interface. You can even notice from the chart below that the minimum Frame Buffer in the series is 1.5 GB (GTX 650 & GTX 660Ti), so if you have got a 1GB card still stuck in your PC, that's going to be quite old within a few months. The below chart even gives a comparative Performance Scale reporting a 45% increase in performance of GTX 680 compared to HD 7970, similarly a 20% increase in GTX 670 compared to HD 7970 and a 10% increase in GTX 660Ti compared to HD 7950.
