Hii,

All hardware geeks are looking forward to see the next generation of graphics card. nVidia next serie will be the GTX2xx serie. They are pretty expensive - $649 for the flagship of nVidia next card the GTX280.

Fellow CJ has shared a couple of pieces of information around the web. He was the source of the GT200 Vantage scores (we’re still uncertain about the Radeon HD 48xx scores), and he’s been a solid source of information over the last couple of years. He’s now basically shared two pictures. One showing a slide where NVIDIA reveals how the current lineup will be changed, I.e. out with 9800GX2 and in with the GTX series, but also the prices of the two new cards. Apparently, the previous rumor of $600 wasn’t enough, because the slide says $649 for the GTX 280 and $449 for the GTX 260. And a second one, which is a picture of what is supposed to be the GT200 die, found below;
