GTX 260 55nm images (Uploaded on imageshack)

[Acekiller]

I have the 65nm. I don't believe the 55nm are available for purchase anywhere yet. I'll be stepping up to the 55nm GTX 285.

There are a limited amount. Not a lot but a few

Looks like the new EVGA model numbers are going to be 896-P3-1255-AR and 896-P3-1257-AR
Apologies for the small images. I will ask someone at the EVGA Forums if we can get some high-res imagery.

wonder how good they can oc evgas looks nice by the way

[Flinch]

Nice find,

Guess we know what the 285's will look like

[Caveman787]

wow thats a big bump in price...hope that's just the pre order pricing.

[BababooeyHTJ]

I just picked up a new 280 for that price.

Dude, you trip me up!





btw: what do you guys think this will do the the sales of the HD4850/70's ..?

It shouldn't cost that much for being basically a stock-clocked GTX 260 216.

According to Fud, EVGA is going to ship the 55nm gtx260 on Tuesday in Europe.

price = fail!!!!! this is retarded.. i guess what a lil bit for some drops... i'm looking out for the gtx 285 anyway!!!

[Blacky]

I prefer to get it from newegg, they could be cheaper

[nosboost300]

ya.. imma wait it out on newegg as well.. but i hate paying tax... damn living in california

The current listed prices on various sites won't reflect the lowest available prices when all retailers have the cards.

[Stevethegreat]

From the FUD article:

SuperSuper clocked should work at, at least 666MHz, while we suspect that it might even reach 700MHz.

I don't get where's the big deal then. Regular -65nm- 260s were able to touch the 700Mhz mark and the 55nm gpus -at least as shown from g92b- gain an extra 7%-12% overclocking headroom, which means that these new cards should be reaching -at least- the 750MHz to worth the wait. If not are we talking about a bad shrink, a bad batch? And if so, with the $300 price mark I see everywhere (while -in fact- the 55nm process makes the cards cheaper to produce than their 65nm counterparts), I don't see why the 55nm shrink is worth the wait, or worse how nVidia -even now, that does not have the crown- still tries to rips us off. This card should have cost closer to the $200 mark (30% less), no questions asked, even the cooler uses less material (and as such HAS to be cheaper to produce).

nVidia HAS the chance for a comeback, it would be really sad if they throw it -again- away. Their arrogance will turn even people like me, who were supporting them for years to come, to ATI fanboys

[YukonTrooper]

I don't believe the $300 price tag will stick, and, in fact, many retailers will be selling under that price point at launch, or at least shortly after.

Depend on how good these cards are going to oc with stock cooling solution. If an average person easily hits a 20% oc on the core, the demand generated from such info could easily keep the prices at the levels you are seeing now.

So , looks like the reference clocks of new GTX260 55nm are the same as the GTX260 65nm reference clocks (576Mhz/1242Mhz/1998Mhz )

I honestly cant believe that so many people out there think that a 10nm shrink is going to bring so much more to the table

I have a 65nm GTX 260 that does 760core 1536shader 1250mem all day long with the stock cooler set to 75%.

I remember when so many people with 55nm 9800GTX's were bragging about there 800mhz core overclocks when I had a 65nm version that did 860mhz on the core 2200shader and 1200mem.

with the $300 price mark I see everywhere (while -in fact- the 55nm process makes the cards cheaper to produce than their 65nm counterparts), I don't see why the 55nm shrink is worth the wait

It isnt worth the wait and it certainly is not worth the price increase.

Their arrogance will turn even people like me, who were supporting them for years to come, to ATI fanboys

And once you get a taste of ATI's driver work you will be running back to NV. Trust me.

Hey that EVGA one is actually cheap, ~228 EUR converted to EUR (damn didn't know the GBP has become such weak compared to EUR). That's less than even any GTX 260 with 192 SPs in Finland. I would preorder one right now if I'd live in UK.

[GAR]

hopefully these will overclock like the 8800's

[tajoh111]

Aren't the current non 55nm on clearance right now. I think 290 will be the price of the new core 216 55nm. Its kind of predictable because I expect it to beat its ATI counterpart(1gig 4870) which is 250 prior to a rebate. Not sure if it is fair, but I almost expect it to be 290 because of this.

What that means is people should get gtx280 at under 300 right now. Because once that deal is gone, all we will see is gtx 285 which will have a marked price difference but not so much performance.

[Nelly]

On pre order in the UK at Scan now.

ive got bfg gtx260-216 overclocked 750mhz so is there any point me upgrading stepping up got 40 days left to step up so what will be worth the step up if it was worth it ? my resolution 1920x1080 thnx in advance.

No I don't think so, 750MHz is a superb clock on 65nm GTX 260-216, doubt the new 55nm would let you go further at all. Having a great clock on an older version is more satisfying than having mediocre on a newer better OC'able version if performance is same clock for clock, at least to me.
