New nvidia GPU card launch October 30th

Just had this e-mail from [email protected]

NVIDIA and EVGA would like to invite you to a new graphics card launch at the NVIDIA campus in Santa Clara, CA. No it’s not based on the new Fermi architecture… we are still finalizing those details, so stay tuned. But, it’s a rocking new graphics card designed by NVIDIA and EVGA to take PhysX to the next level.

And, since the launch is on October 30th, we thought what would be more fun than a Halloween Party?

That’s right, folks…. Not only will you be able to feast your eyes on a new graphics card, but you’ll have a chance to win great prizes in our raffle contest, hobnob with fellow gamers, and try your luck playing Batman: Arkham Asylum on the latest products from EVGA, including a sweet 4–way rig designed for the uber gamer.

The party starts at 7:00 p.m., with food and drinks (non–alcoholic) provided.

For those in the festive mood, come dressed up as your favorite Batman character for a chance to win even more prizes.

The party is limited to the first 300 participants that RSVP through the online form below. There is no age limit, but those under 16 have to be accompanied by an adult.

Club SLI members: you have guaranteed admission as long as you register by October 23rd at 3:00 p.m. PST. After that time, any free seats will open up for regular admission.

Event registration closes on October 29th at 3:00 p.m. PST.

Please click on the link below to guarantee your spot at the festivities!

Presumably it's a rebadged something or other or have they got more die shrinks of existing chips coming along?

BubbySoup · 20 Oct 2009 at 23:21

It's PhysX

Who cares ...

My bet is that its a rebadged tweaked g220.

Go dressed as a batman character?

They're seriously clinging onto Arkhum aren't they.

Andric · 20 Oct 2009 at 23:33

If it's a new, secret product to realy compete that woudl be great but somehow I really don't think it is - probably just a rebadge

LoadsaMoney · 20 Oct 2009 at 23:34

Pmsl im howling, its a PhsyX card

They rebranding the old Ageia PhsyX ones, gona put Nvidia stickers on em

Geckovich · 20 Oct 2009 at 23:36

Something else along the lines of their pointless gtx285 classified I'd imagine.

chaparral · 20 Oct 2009 at 23:42

Maybe there doing what i said in the discontinued GTX285 and GTX275 thread

chaparral said:
Don't worry guys.........These same cards will be released again very soon....

They just need some time to change the stickers to GTX 360 / GTX 375 / GTX 385

It's a rebadged 8800GT with two new LEDs

chaparral · 20 Oct 2009 at 23:49

Wonder if it nvidia own version of the asus MARS GPU (gtx 285x2) at a lower price..

GT240 does sound likely actually.

Oh yeah, i forgot about the 240

Orcvader · 20 Oct 2009 at 23:58

Mmm, but it sounds like they're trying to improve PhysX performance as well...

Yup, personally I can't wait for a card that overclocked pretty heavily can't beat a 4850, that costs less, wooo.

...corrected :cool:

I hope it's another rehash of the G92, just for the laughs.

LoadsaMoney · 21 Oct 2009 at 00:14

Jesus look at the specs of that, Nvidia really are a ******* joke now

So I'm guessing the people above are accurate and its the GT240... nVidia were supposed to have high end cards on the same process but I'm guessing they are still having problems ramping the silicon upto those sizes, the description wouldn't match that and I assume by now nVidia realise its too late to the party.
