When can we expect to see these on overclockers? From what I've seen the evga ones have a slightly different cooler and they seem cheaper than the 65nm ones.
 
Be very surprised if they are cheaper. How often do you see newer cards under cut current ones on release?

No doubt OcUK will stock them, in theory they should overclock even better than the outstanding 65nm 260s.

They will be a more expensive than the current 260's, making old 65nm's an even better bargain than they are now. Hopefully the 'old' 260's will be flooding the bay etc

hmm you guys really think it would actually be cheaper than a 65nm part?

I don't, and i can see Nvidia kicking up a fuss about the 55nm being mentioned as well, as thats not going to get all their 65nm's shifted which they need to do, as everyone will just be buying the 55's.
 
Wow, he is right. A competitor is currently listing them as pre-order and the 55nm look cheaper. :eek:

EVGA GTX 260 SSC, 2304MHz GDDR3, 55nm GPU, 675MHz, 216Cores is £221, that's cheaper than the 65nm equivalent that I just bought.
 
I like the look of the EVGA model, but they should be at 4870 1GB or below price and not above. Probably will drop in price a few week after launch hopefully.

They are exactly the same clocks as the 65nm ones and the one above is the ssc pre oced one. I guess it has a lot more headroom so the premium over the stock one is therefore not that big.

This could well be my next upgrade. Would you say this will be a good noticable improvement over my current gfx card which is a 8800 GTS (G92)?

I need a bit more horse power as I have just bought a new monitor!

:)
 
hmmm I wasn't aware of this. I've just got my new card today. May DSA it and wait for this one if it 10 quid cheaper clocked 5mhz higher and 55nm :confused:

Should be quite a boost. :)

Good, might be ordering one of these then very soon!

Just moved up to the world of 30" gaming, although I wont be gaming at native res - I will just be downscaling to 1920x1200 (I dont think this card is that powerful enough!) :D:p:D
