NVIDIA Preparing GeForce GTX 275, RV790XT in Sights (http://www.techpowerup.com/87746/NVIDIA_Preparing_GeForce_GTX_275_RV790XT_in_Sights .html)
AMD is on the course of releasing a new line of high performance products based on its upcoming RV790 graphics processor. The high-end single GPU SKU, Radeon HD 4890 is expected to be competitive with NVIDIA's (http://www.techpowerup.com/87746/NVIDIA_Preparing_GeForce_GTX_275_RV790XT_in_Sights .html#) GeForce (http://www.techpowerup.com/87746/NVIDIA_Preparing_GeForce_GTX_275_RV790XT_in_Sights .html#) GTX 260 (216 SP). NVIDIA on the other end of the field, is planning a retaliation to the RV790. The GPU giant is carving out a new SKU based on the 55 nm G200b: GeForce GTX 275.
The new SKU will be placed in the US $225~275 range. While the specifications are not known at this point in time, there are two theories: G200b with 216 stream processors (http://www.techpowerup.com/87746/NVIDIA_Preparing_GeForce_GTX_275_RV790XT_in_Sights .html#) and a 512-bit memory interface (http://www.techpowerup.com/87746/NVIDIA_Preparing_GeForce_GTX_275_RV790XT_in_Sights .html#), and the other theory suggesting 240 stream processors with the existing 448-bit memory interface on GTX 260. The latter looks inexpensive as the former would step up manufacturing costs due to the addition of two memory chips.
