GeForce 8900 GTX & 8950 GX2 [Rumor]

[Nabobalis]

Some charts have leaked onto the great internet of ours that reveal some pricing and information for NVIDIA's upcoming series of graphics cards (thanks TERATOGEN).

Our friends over at OCW seem to be talking to the right people here in Taiwan and have a bunch of information regarding the most expensive GeForce 8950GX2 that will be sold for $599 USD. It is rumored to be a dual GPU solution much like the 7950GX2 and will come with a total of 512MB GDDR-4 memory per GPU. The second on the list is the GeForce 8900GTX which will replace the current high-end 8800GTX. It will ship at a retail price of $549 USD and sees total pipelines increased to 128 which is an increase of 32 or 25% as suggested by Fudo over at the INQ recently. It will also see the inclusion of GDDR4 memory which allows nVidia to increase the clock speed to a huge 2200MHz DDR. It also seems like the manufacturing process is being reduced to 80nm from 90nm in the latest batch of G80 chips.

Brand new cards from Nvidia. Just a simple boost in pipelines.
I wonder if I can get mine traded for one of them.
