There's some logic in Charlie D's rumour that nVidia are about to pull the plug on the GTX260, GTX275 and GTX285:

Not least as theoretically they should struggle to compete financially with the ATI cards with smaller die sizes at the equivalent performance.
But Charlie is not always right, and despite nVidia's policy of not commenting on rumour or speculation, they have said to the Tech Report that this is false:

Assuming it isn't just a hoax, I'm not quite sure what this means for us, the consumer. Less choice is definitely a bad thing. It certainly won't drive the price of the HD58X0 down any time soon.
Thoughts?

are you saying there's been no competition in the PC sector since FX5800? The 8800 is arguably nVidia's most successful series ever. It was so good that all they've been doing is rebranding it and still continue to flatten the competition with its's sales. It's only until the 4800 series was released that the 8800s (and rebrands) have had any real competition. And nV are a very healthy company as already pointed out so I don't see them going down anytime soon. IMO this scaremongering is getting a bit OTT.
