Should still be on


Back in
the summer time we’ve reported that Nvidia had plans for a 55nm-based version of GT200 chip. We’ve learned that such a chip should have support for GDDR5 and naturally be able to run at least a bit faster.

According to some projections, AMD hopes that even a revamped GT200 with higher clock won’t be able to beat their top Radeon HD 4870 X2 offering. For Nvidia and its partners there is a hope that the performance crown can and should be back.

We also heard some rumors of a dual-chip Nvidia-based card coming by the end of the year, but this is something that we cannot confirm. If Nvidia makes such a product it will definitely set some records in heat and power dissipation.

the graphics market is awfully quiet, especially on the Nvidia side, as the company simply doesn’t have a winning strategy against ATI, at least not until November. The new chips, if they come, should be available by late November.
