216 stream processors apparently, as opposed to 192 on our current one. Nvidia are at it again I see. Pretty nice though, although I wonder if it'll be a limited-time edition like the 112 SP G80 GTS that was about for a while or a fully fledged replacement? Only time will tell, hopefully the price goes down, not up.

ffs people wil be quite angry just bought the card and they releasing a new one i see no point as it is not even 55 nm still 4870 faster

There is only a gnat's nadger either way between the 4870 and current GTX260 in overall performance terms. This increase (albeit small) will probably give NVidia a noticeable advantage and increase sales. ATI must be outselling NVidia 4:! at the moment so they had to do something quick.

Haha, brilliant. If the price is the same it could be quite a nice SLI setup.

Here comes the next round of confusing names.

GTX260+
GTX270
GTX280-

GTX360





Really the GTX260 should have been the GT260 then this new rev could be the GTS260. Going with GTX off the bat leaves them nowhere to go with silly names.


We should have an OcUK raffle.

Am not even going to attempt to understand Nvidia's naming scheme this time

 

[OrphanBoy]

Maybe thet should just rename all their cards to Geforce 10 and let the price do the talking
