More and more rumors appear are surrounding NVIDIA with a poending graphics card release.

As you guys all know, the new GPU, Kepler, is launching very late for unknown reasons. The flagship part might even be released end of year.

However, the latest rumor was that the new mid-range segment cards would be launching (delayed to) April this year. According to an (their own acclaimed) reliable source at ChipHell they learned that NVIDIA's GeForce "GTX 680" part could be launched some time in February.

The source says that this part would be competitive with the HD 7970, though not exactly NVIDIA's fastest next-generation GPU in the works. Which seems to confirm that a high-end part is nowhere near release.

The small bits of information are oozing out in a rather steady flow and slowly build the idea that some sort of launch late February (right before Cebit) might be a plausible.

The 28nm GPU based graphics cards based on this part would be equipped with 2 GB of memory, and its core clock speed is supposed to be 780 MHz.
