I do not know what to buy ((

I purchased 2 (not thinking about the Kepler architecture change).
I tested with the new Kepler test build and was seeing somewhere in the range of ~3.5 ms raycasting with both cards enabled and in a fairly simple scene.
I promptly sold one of the cards for close to what I bought it for, shelved my other 680; - and put my 2X480's back in.
Can't speak for the 580 precisely, but atm (and from my experience) 680 is a poor choice for Octane. I was actually getting comparable performance from a single 460.
I should say though that the 680 is a great card aside from the GPU rendering issues. So if you're considering purchasing it for game play/development, it's great. Like many have said already; avoid buying it exclusively for GPU rendering at the moment. I took a bit of a risk and bought mine within the first week of release: Lesson learned.
