The network circulates specifications of new graphics cards from NVIDIA. It is of course to belong to a new series of models GeForce GTX 260 and GTX 280 They have its official premiere already 17 June, but the first information on it is known now.

The second card will, of course, faster, with taktowanym core clock 602 MHz and shader units taktowanymi 1296 MHz. GPU will contain 240 units of account (stream processors). Accompany him would be 1 GB of 512-bit GDDR3 memory Pixel clock to 1107 MHz. The Charter is exhale until 236W at the highest load.

Slower model GTX 260 is, in turn, be equipped with 192 units of account and 896 MB of GDDR3 memory. Graphic processor clock was set to 576 MHz units cieniujących at 999 MHz, while memory will be strong 896 MHz (GPU and combined with 448-bit data rail). The Charter is to be somewhat less prądożerna from its droższej odpowiedniczki, TDP limit for the GTX 260 is in fact 182W.

Both cards are considerable size (10.5-inch) and their GPU reportedly made yet in 65nm technology (despite previously announced by NVIDIA transition to 55nm process).

GTX 260 and GTX 280 so look for the light odgrzewane cutlets, with an extended memory interface and enhanced timing. ATI with its forthcoming chips in 4850 and 4870 is, therefore, for the first time in months the chance to seriously threaten the dominance of performance NVIDIA.

What will the price of new NVIDIA products? GTX 260 is expected to cost about 450 dollars, while about 600 GTX 280
