According to AustinComputers in Austrailia, it looks like Nvidia is rolling out its 55nm GTX 280 (supposedly called GTX 280+) this month. Additionally, a GTX 350 is expected within the close of the year, featuring 2GB of GDDR5 on the same 512-bit bus. If this product page is correct, this new card could easily be a beast! :eek:

I stumbled upon a Hardspell article written July 18, 2008 that speaks of a GTX 350 engineering sample with the same specs as listed above:

HardSpell.com - NVIDIA GTX 350 ES version is ready and the specs revealed?!

We got to know the related news but we are not so sure about this:

NVIDIA GTX 350
GT300 core
55nm technology
576mm
512bit
DDR5 2GB memory, doubled GTX280
480SP doubled GTX280
Grating operation units are 64 the same with GTX280
216G bandwidth
Default 830/2075/3360MHZ
Pixel filling 36.3G pixels/s
Texture filling 84.4Gpixels/s
Cannot support D10.1 .10.0/SM4.0

Hasn't Nvidia's roadmap has already shown us that the refresh of the 280 is due in Q1 2009, and that it's going to be based on a 45/50nm process and not a 55nm one?

As far as the GT300 is concerned, only thing it could be is a GTX280 X2. There's no way they developed a whole new core with twice the shaders and implemented GDDR5 support into a single-core that fast. And if, by somehow the video game God's do allow such a card to be released this soon, just imagine how much it's gonna cost...

Agreed. It has to be a 280X2. Twice the cores, twice the amount of RAM...only makes sense. That's assuming any of this info is accurate.

Highly unlikely to happen given temperatures. Not to mention the cost would be astronomical.

Umm, that's also me. Same author ;)


Do a quick google search and you'll see it in more than 8 places.
 
Where's VJ when you need him.. I was going to order a GTX 280 today but if the GTX 280+ (or GTX+ 280? lol) is coming in a month, I'm gonna have to wait. They won't let you step up will they? Can you step up from a GTX 260 to a GTX 260 core 216?
