Nvidia is
going to refresh its GT200 offering with a 55nm version of the chip. We don’t know many details, but they will get faster and they might give Nvidia a fighting chance.

We heard that they might be out by November, but this is not something we can confirm at the moment. There should be two products, one to replace GT280 and one to replace GT260.

From the original prognosis this new card might actually end up marginally faster than Radeon 4870 and 4870 X2, but it won’t leave them in the dust, which means that Nvidia will have to wait for 40 nm chips in 2009 to turn the situation around.

The good thing is that they are coming.
