We've heard that there is a big possibility that Nvidia's dual GT200 55nm card that we mentioned before might slip to Q1 2009 and launch in January.The card was originally planned for December, but it looks like Nvidia might not make it.  

Whenever such a card comes out, it will take R700's, Radeon HD 4870 X2’s performance crown, something that Nvidia needs to operate under its parameters.

The new card is likely to end up faster than the fastest ATI, and Nvidia will also bet on its better SLI optimization, all in order to return the performance crown that it needs back so badly.

Nvidia has simply not given up this year and there might be a driver that could change the odds in Nvidia’s advantage, coming very soon.
