As you may already know, Nvidia is preparing to introduce its new Geforce GTX 260, the one with 216 processing cores, or more commonly known as shader units.

According to the picture that our colleagues from Donanimhaber.com managed to get, the new Zotac GTX 260 AMP! "2" will look the same as the old GTX 260, as there are no changes to the cooler or to the card itself. They managed to score a picture of the AMP! version that comes factory overclocked and works at 650MHz for the core and 1,998MHz for the 896MB of GDDR3 memory. The 216 processing units have the shader clock set to 1,400MHz.

The rest of the features didn't change from the "old" GTX 260, so the card will have support for 3-way SLI, PCI-Express 2.0, DirectX 10 and will need two 6-pin PCI-Express power connectors for some extra juice.

According to what we were able to hear from our sources, this new card will eventually enter the market in September and the price should be around $50 higher than the old version. 

Here is the picture and you can find more info here.
