Nvidia is working on a new graphics card, which will help in the fight against ATI and eventually take over the performance leader in high-end segment. Card called GT300 will be the first card that supports DirectX 11 The manufacturer as is the custom to shoot on the market in the ultra high-end, and only at a later date cards budget.

We know that ATI should be high-end card with DirectX 11w similar time and in time between the two companies will focus on lower-cost solutions to their existing cards.
For technical details still too early, but the war vs Nvidia. ATI performance graphics systems will certainly fierce.

Internet leaks show that in the end of this year market will welcome new NVIDIA graphics card, which has all chances to threaten the current leader, Radeon 4870 X2 from ATI. It will be a high-end GeForce GTX 350, and it boards new chip - GT300, manufactured in 55 nm process technology.

The new GPU will consist of 480 stream processors (formerly leader GT200, includes 240), 64 texture units and 512-bit memory controller. The core GT300 is to be at clock 830 MHz, 2075 MHz shader processors, and memory (GDDR5) - 3360 MHz. In the specifications that GeForce GTX 350 should be more than 50% faster than the current GT200, and this means that it will smash Radeon 4870 X2.

The exact release date or price of a new NVIDIA product is not yet known. GeForce GTX 350, but will certainly not cheap, however, you can expect that it will be for Christmas can be purchased for around 760 $.

EDIT: Rumors say that GT300 core will not support DirectX 10.1

anyone got more information..?
is it worth holding out? some rumors says it'll be Dx11 support for win 7

Both nvidia and ati have totally new cards coming out at the end of the year so you would be better and wait and see what they both release.
 
Thats all anybody knows as its been going around for months and months that, but what i would doubt it on is the 55nm process, as both camps are moving to the 40nm now, unless they are going to start off with the low/med end cards on the 40nm to test the water, before fully transitioning across.

If those specs are accurate it sounds like a beast. Vid cards are getting pretty damned powerful these days....
 
The fact that it's saying the current leader is the x2 shows how old this article is. The gtx295 is the most powerful card at the moment regardless of cost. And another thing, 512bit bus and gddr5 doesn't seem plausible as it would be far too expensive.

And why name it gtx350 instead of 380, it doesn't make sense...
 
If that's the GTX350 then those specifications have been going around for donkey's. That and at this point GPU-Z wouldn't be picking up the specifications correctly anyway, pinch of salt taken, good sirs.

Edit: However, one interesting rumour I heard about GT300 is that it may be using MIMD technology rather than SIMD. What the hell does that mean to us? Hell if I know, apparently 'go faster'.

well something is not right here it suppose to be 40 nm. anyway more powerful is better as doom 4 creators said that the game on highest settings will only get 30 fps on today machines

GDDR5 won't be that much more expensive than the high-speed GDDR3, infact with better yields it could work out cheaper.

Thats the interesting bit... if it does use MIMD even with the minimal jump to 384SPs (let alone 480) that would give it MASSIVE procesing power theoretically the one card would outperform 295GTX quad SLI for GPGPU and similiar tasks.

Aiming for Q2 2009 launch


According to our well informed sources, Nvidia's next generation 40nm chip has been taped out and is getting ready for its launch.

There will be at least two new 40nm SKUs and Nvidia is aiming for a launch in early Q2 2009. Some sources indicate that Nvidia might even make it to March, which is the last month of Q1 but this will be a tough thing to achieve.

ATI has also taped out its RV740 40nm mainstream chip and it looks that Nvidia plans to launch entry level and mainstream products first before it goes to 40nm with high-end. Currently it looks like it won't be until at least summer time, roughly early Q3, before we see new high-end cards, at least from ATI.

Fake source, no way this is going to be possible in 55nm and no way those clocks are gonna be so high with twice the shaders. I would love to see that card and would buy it instantly but those specs are absolutely not happening on 55nm and 40nm is as we've seen a huge disappointment.
 
I still get excited about new hardware but it kinda sucks because theres no games even in development yet that need any better than what we have now.
