I'd say good for you mate, but this time it's bad.
Bad for both of us, the picture posted above is a real GTX 290 :(
We'll have to keep our promise and stop using computers.
Bye bye XS :(
..... nah, I'm just kidding... that's a normal GTX 280, and I'm not planning to stop using computers in this life at least :p:
Lol, Zowner.
Anyways, Both cores GT200-300,GT200-302 are both GTX 280s. 302 is possibly just a really high pinned chip. Like one that would be in eVGA's FTW Edition cards.
If we get a 55nm GTX280 or GTX290 it will be called GT200-400. ATLEAST. Because this was foretold by the leaked 180.70 drivers.
I donīt see the sense in that pics. Why not get a quadro 4800/5800 to show the real gt200b?
Because it's fake.
They just wanted to generate hits, which they've done.
Judging from the 9800 GTX to 9800 GTX+ transition, the PCB, the chip substrate, cooling, they're all the same, only the GPU die shrunk. Since GTX series use IHS, i think it's quite possible that the news is correct.
So does anyone have any reasonably solid info on a 55nm refresh? Of any kind, called GTX 280+, GTX 290, GTX 350, GTX 380, whatever.
I actually have some faith that with how long it's taking Nvidia might have something great cooking... At the same time rumors might be true
and their shrink is just not working out at all. Which I hope is not the case.
It seems rather peculiar to me that if this supposed card exists in ANY capacity, planned or actually built that we wouldn't see any decent info.
no reason to discuss fake info
