Brian what are you basing that opinion on? I agree but for a different
reason. The gtx 580 or 590 has almost double the CUDA power (not cores) as
the 680 or 690, and more than triple the 670. It is a very significant
upgrade to CUDA and the 3D raytracing engine I have experienced first hand.
nVidia gimped the CUDA performance on the kepler gpus. This has been shown
on multiple benchmarks. Also the gtx 580 is cheaper than a new 680. I'd
highly recommend the 3GB 580 or the 6GB 590. a lot of bang for the buck
