Nvidia GT200-successor on 22th October?

[Shadowmage]

This card already exists. It's the GTX 260 216 core.

I got mine from Newegg for 299 bucks with a 20 dollar MIR, and this thing overclocks like a son of a b!tch.

Right now I have it sitting at 700/1509/1250 and at these speeds, it outperforms a stock GTX 280 and obliterates the HD 4870.

With the 180xx drivers come out, the gap between the HD 4870 and the GTX 260 will be increased even further.

How's that competing against the 4870? The 4870 sells for $220! Your card costs $279, which is a 27% higher price. Does it, when overclocked, have 27% more performance compared to an overclocked 4870?

Just curious, was your OC done on the stock heatsink? What volts? It seems like a great OC. I think that you have my 280GTX beat, at least in terms of clock speeds (The only reason why I have a 280GTX is because it was free lol)
