A week after CES
and GTX 295
The guys over at OCWorkbench claim to have received official confirmation from Nvidia regarding the release
of the GeForce GTX 285. The card will launch on January 15th, just one week
after the debut of dual-PCB GeForce GTX 295 and the first day of CES
2009.
As reported earlier, several Taiwanese retailers have already begun
listing ASUS and XFX GeForce GTX 285 cards, with pricing roughly
similar to the GTX 280 regardless of region or country. The Taiwanese retailers also mentioned the January 15th as the availability date.
While the new
55nm card is expected to have an average 10% performance gain over its 65nm GTX
280 predecessor, it is important to note that Nvidia's 40nm GT212s are just
around the corner and may even be introduced at lower price points due to
effective reductions in manufacturing costs.
