| Quote: | Won't launch at Nvision
We've learned that Nvidia is working hard to launch GT200 55nm but this will most certainly won't happen in August or September. Our sources imply that this will take place in Q4 2008.
Nvidia simply wants to win the performance crown back from R700. Adding GDDR5 memory and 55nm process will certainly speed things up and they will take the dissipation down.
Thermal dissipation is Nvidia's biggest problem as the chip turns to be extremely hot and the new 55nm should be a bit better. Once you take care of thermals, you can clock the chip higher which eventually means more performance.
The 55nm process with a new clock and GDDR5 memory should get GT200 55nm a bit faster than R700 and this is exactly what Nvidia needs. |

I guess the boffins at Nvidia are working overtime on this one  . |

YaaaY! Yet another butt-fuck of the early adopters by nVidia!
"Sorry you just spent £300 on your spanking new GTX-280, we've replaced it now with a faster and more stable model. What's that? Can you get a rebate, a refund or a replacement!? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Oh my no..."

Sadly I bet its going to cost twice as more than the 4870X2.

Die shrink doesn't necessarily means a better performer. It merely means it will use less power and be cooler. But from that one can guess nV will try and clock it a bit higher than the 280 GTX. Still, make no mistake about it, it's by all means the same card, so don't expect wonders from it.

Same deal as the 9800GTX+, Nvidia doing their best to stay competitive.
