GTX290 : 14 layers PCB, 16*64M DDR3, G200-302 core, Samsung 0.8ns memories, higher core clock
Source
thats not a gtx290 or 55nm
anybody know what the core clock of the 290 is suppose to be?
I'll believe in the Gtx 290 when it's listed on newegg.
Seems like vaporware til then. What happened to Oct 22nd?
it passed.Quote:

:confused: Is there something about these pictures that should stand out? Most of my card is covered with a waterblock, but what I can see on the GTX280 looks identical to those pictures. :shrug:
No, that's GT300 :rofl:
That die looks exactly the same as GTX280
so far the only thing "exposed" is Nv with their pants down.

If the picture looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I require a little more than some added text saying "Swan". Which is basically what this is.Quote:

Its a 280 guys. Nothing new here
Probably a GTX 280 with a few more stream processors, and will be receiving the name GTX 380+.
yep, oh for everyone that wants to know. Check out Cpt.Planets IHSless GTX 280 shot thread. Here.Quote:

It's not a die, it's a heat spreader. If you can't read the text stamped on it it might as well be a 260.Quote:

Could there potentially be a GTX290? Yes. We don't know that though, and they might not be planning anything. There are a huge number of people here that got their hopes up in October over a thread similar to this that spouted off an October release date. It didn't happen.
nVidia has always been secretive. They don't give out info, and they plug leaks. We will get a new card in due time, and there will be early reviews, but please wait until we do. I'm being real nice here, and am saying this with a nice soft tone.
I'm pretty sure that is a GTX280 in the pic. I can't be certain though. I really wish these places that do this stuff would cut it out. Yeah sometimes *some* leaks are good, but it's gotten out of hand and is causing people problems. It could be causing nVidia problems if they are getting e-mails asking why the GTX290 isn't out yet.
If you're waiting grab yourself a 280 with a step up plan, and maybe you'll luck out and we'll see something you can step up to before the step up runs out. If not, you'll still have a really nice card.
i've heard that they are having problems with the new fab process.. And that they were not getting any performance gaines.. but who knows.... i also read that the Dual CPU Solutions are not working out very well.. Thermodynamic problems is what the article said. Nvidia's delaying everything until Q1 2009.. in the article it said nvidias dual GPU 280's were simply running way too hot for air cooling and it would not be possible with the current schematics unless they were "Water" Cooling only cards. as you know november 17th was supposed to be the release date for the 270 and 290. If i can find the article i was reading the other day i will post a URL to it.
thats because you cant actually see the die. its covered by a monstrous IHS. but you are right in saying that it does look exactly like the GTX280, because the IHS is probably the same :)Quote:

If people stop linking silly websites that spew out any kind of BS they can come up with the IT world would be way better.
Fakey fake.
Captain Jake ( Cpt. Planet ) was right again ;)
This could be the GTX 290, and whats up with all the ATI fanboys and the negative comments, are you scared nvidia will make a comeback? lol
haha foreal.. last week when that article came out putting the 260 core 216 vs the 4870 1gb which showed the 260 beating the ati card in pretty much everything they started screaming Conspricy Theory haha lmfaoQuote:

If that's a die shrink, then something must be very wrong!Quote:

I second that :yepp:Quote:

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.
you hypocrite..Quote:

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.
LOL!Quote:
