At Nvidia editors' day

 

Nvidia has held its famous editors' day, which means that GTX 280 and 260 specs are ready to be revealed. If you weren't there, that means that there is no NDA and you can talk about it as long as you want. The specs of these two new GPUs are basically the same as those which were rumored earlier.

The big chip called the GTX 280 works at 602MHz for the core, and it comes with 1GB of GDDR3 paired up with a 512-bit memory interface and clocked at 1,107MHz. This big chip has 240 stream processors and 32 ROPs with Shaders running at 1,296MHz. This big boys rated TDP stands at 236 Watt, and it should priced at US$600+ at launch.

The GTX 260 works at 576MHz for the core, which is surprisingly close to the GTX 280 clock. This card will have a 448-bit memory interface and it will come packed with 896MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 896MHz. This chip will have 192 stream processors and 28 ROPs, with Shaders clocked at 999MHz. This card will have a TDP of 182 Watts with a launch price tag of US$449.

It looks like DAAMIT might have a chance here, since its cards will have a lower TDP and most importantly a lower price. We will see which ones are better (performance/price wise) when these cards get released on June 16th for the DAAMITs cards and June 18th for Nvidia's cards.

You can read more about it here, but bear in mind that these are an unknown and still rumored informations, although they look like a real deal.
