This smacks of desperation from nvidia's perspective.
I'd have thought that releasing a cut-down GTX260 (call it a GTX 240) would be more sensible.
(I accept that Zotac are not able to do this, but nvidia seem awfully quiet when they should be blasting the market).
Also... aren't they due to release some new GPU's any time now?

The 55nm versions of the 260/280 are rumoured to be on the way.. but it's rumour - nVidia are being *really* tight lipped about it.
Still, I can dig a 1gb version of the 9800GTX+ as long as it doesn't cost any more than a 512mb 4850.

Since the 512MB 9800GTX+ costs more than a 512MB 4850 I can't see the 1GB version being cheaper, In fact I can't even see it being cheaper than a 1GB 4850 (~£130).

Die shrinks galore but no real architecture improvements for a while apparently.

Quite what they think AMD will be doing in that time I don't know...:O_o1:

Are NVidia simply giving up the graphics card market or is this simply PR to make AMD relax so that the top-secret non-existant NVidia GT3xx cards can be released and storm the markets?
