Nvidia 600 series

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been active lately because of a recent move. Last year I posted a build that I thought was going to happened soon, but still hasn't. Now with the review for Hardware Heaven of the HD Radeon 7970; the first PCI E-3.0 card, when do you think Nvidia will join the race and release their 600 series cards? Do you think that Nvidia will make better use of 3.0?

They're probably going to trail by a couple of months, but it's all rumors and hard to say since 7970 isn't out on the market just yet, and the really interesting cards like the 7870's are still unknowns. PCIe 3.0 will only be useful when running computations off the cards, but that might be good enough for some. Gamewise PCIe 1.0 x16 is still good enough so there's little to gain there.
