Has anyone noticed that this isn't any stronger than it should be?

2012's strongest GPU was the HD 7970 GHz (Don't argue, it currently is).  2011's was the GTX 580.

^ You can see that the current leader is 33-44% stronger than the previous one.  It is currently 60-65% the strength of a 690.  Another 30% increase just makes sense.  This isn't special, it should just be called a GTX 780.

It's not a new generation. They could have made this last year if they hadn't screwed up the chip yields; it's just a giant Kepler.

In fact I maintain the yields are still screwed and they'll make 3 of these and <100 of the Quadros (which still don't have all shaders enabled).

Well that's what I am saying.  It isn't a 780, but it should be.  However you make a good point.  Perhaps they still can't get their yields right and that is why this is not a 780 (Because they aren't ready).  But at the same time the 7970 GHz is making them look stupid so they want the performance crown again.  

What will be interesting is how the 8970 performs.  It looks to be 25-50% stronger than the 7970.  That would put it very close to the "Titan" for $300 less...
