still don't see why my quote was funny :p
show me somewhere that shows the gtx260 is a space heater....
you want a space heater lets look at a 4850... tossed both of mine and i've never been happier

The word “Fanboy” is one of the hundred or so new words that Merriam-Webster has decided to add to their Collegiate Dictionary this year.
Apparently the first occurance of the word was in the year 1919.

This is an honest thread this time, and it does have basis in fact. Don't get another video card thread shutdown...please. People have said there is gonna be a soft launch, and that the GPU is already out there in another card right now. They will be filling the other cards market with them as they resupply with the new GPU's. As needed in other words. They will be using up the 65nm stuff first. This is not another world beater, but probably will give some slight boosts as they always do. It's a refresh. It looks like they've made some RAM improvements, and maybe worked on power draw and circuitry...we'll have to see how that works out. I would bet that some of the larger high end graphics card makers already have some. I don't know speciffic dates because they cannot discuss it. I have asked. They said "soon". I didn't press the issue or quiz them because I did not want to get anyone into trouble.
Then I guess we'll just have to wait for it......
but it sucks that it doesn't show in store name or something? if I want a 55nm i want to know if i buy it or not, will the retailer mark it as new?

haha one more gtx 260
I think it would make sense if they went for GTX 265/285 looks like a nice clean card though. The reason the clocks are so low is because board partners want to differentiate themselves, allowing a great deal of room for the clocks is Nvidia's way to make them happy.

so we should be able to tell if its 65nm or 55nm by looking on the back of the PCB?

Looks like a nice card. I think the real question is what additional overclock, for running 24/7, will the 55nm process provide. Maybe 700+ on factory overclocked cards, and run them in the mid 700s. That would be pretty nice.

They say that it will be better in overclocking but they question is how much.

Komplett clearly have 55nm in the product spec, and the design on the sticker is different than the 65nm evga card.

*waits on heat, power consumption figures and price before deciding*
55nm GTX260 may very well end up being the card going into my new build, providing the heat output is reduced
Current System:
eVGA 680i SLi "A2" P30 BIOS
intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (currently at stock)
OCZ ReaperX 4GB DDR2 1000 (running at DDR2 800 Speeds with cas4)
320GB Seagate 7200.10
XFX 8800GT XXX 512MB (stock clocks)
auzentech X-Fi Prelude
PC Power and Cooling Silencer 750 Quad Copper
Win XP Pro
I just received my GTX 260 216SP yesterday. I think I'll be using BFG's step-up program to get the 285 GTX. Good times.
For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
