NVIDIA GT200 : GeForce 9900 GTX & 9900 GT In Q3

No it is not some April Fool jokes. VR-Zone has learned that there will be two high end parts from Nvidia to replace the current GeForce 9800 GX2 and 9800 GTX in Q3. These two parts are GeForce 9900 GTX and GeForce 9900 GT based on the new GT200 architecture. GeForce 9800 GX2 and GTX will have a short lifespan since they will be replaced in a couple of months time. Nvidia has positioned GeForce 9900 GTX to replace 9800 GX2 and this gave a clue that a single GT200 card will actually outperform a dual G92 card. Likewise for GeForce 9900 GT, outperforming and replacing 9800 GTX. CJ revealed to us that Nvidia will have a hard time fitting GT200 onto the PCB since the GPU is gonna be large and very power hungry so we can probably assume it is still 65nm based. The PCB for GT200 will be P651.

Interesting but I wonder why they are steering clear of the 45nM manufacturing process everyone else is already using

Looks like another generation to skip...

No one yet but ATI has been using a 55nM process on all there new GPU's ... NV seems stuck on 65 ...

The R700 GPU was supposed to use 45nM but we will see

NVIDIA has to start shifting to better process technologies but they have to rely on TSMC to do that. This is one advantage ATI has over NVIDIA right now.
