It is said that nvidia in the future will release the G4X0 series which will integrate 512 SP and will have clocks of 1ghz and memory on GDDR6. Oh and it'll DEFINITELY beat the radeon 5870x2!

Anyone can make that garbage up....
You could easily just take an educated guess and chances are u won't b that far off. I say that posting wasn't much more than someone trying to say they made the "FIRST POST" about it.

TSMC does have the tech, but the move to 45nm is causing delays into Q1 2009 so don't expect to see 45nm video cards in vast quantities this year. MAYBE for Xmas, but I wouldn't count on this either.

Seriously, what is nVidia thinking with these ridiculous prices? Their cards are NOT worth it at all. Why pay $600 for a GTX 280 when you can get a 4870 for $300 which performs 80% as well? Hell, throw in a Crossfire 4870 if you're set on spending $600 and you'll smoke anything the green team has to offer for the next year.

its gonna be a total failure i suppose.. with the costs incurred from a 512 bit bus, and the new GDDR5, Only the most hardcore computer freaks are gonna build it. Im placing my bets on ATI... (its canadian too!! )

ATI is now owned by AMD which is a American company.

from one of my inside sources @ Nvidia is moving straight to the 45nm process,
and instead of 256 they are moving to 512 and 2GB of memory hope that helps

Ya, through service and management fees they bleed the profits to zero so
the Canadian operation looks like it makes no money, thus they pay no tax.
It’s a way to suck money out of the country without being taxed for it.
Been there, done that…. It sucks but what can ya do….

Btw if your paying more then 450 for a 280, yer getting rip’d, OC’s slightly more.
