ELSA Slide Shows GTX 200 Series Successors
Slides published during a press meeting held at ELSA's headquarters in Shenzhen, China reveals what look like NVIDIA's future graphics processors (GPU). Although not quite playing on the global stage, ELSA is a popular channel vendor operating in China that concentrates on Asian markets. ELSA showcased several of its products. During a press event where its consumer graphics plans were discussed, ELSA published a slide that shows two future GPUs from NVIDIA, codenamed GT206 and GT212. These GPUs are positioned to succeed current flagship GPUs as in the G200. The slide shows a graph with launch time on the x-axis and performance projection on the y-axis. It can be inferred that GT206 is going to succeed the current GeForce GTX 260 and the GT212 succeeds GTX 280. Time scales show that GT206 comes out towards the very end of this year, and GT212 comes out sometime in Q1, 2009.

Every single one failed and had to be replaced.
I thought they went out of business.
Still might think about it if its out in time for my step up and is priced reasonably.
But that could just be how their news poster has read it. Bit hard to tell. My first impression was 48nm. Who knows... :confused:
It will be GTX280+ or GTX290 some thing along them lines.
Where all these rumors are coming from?
I pitty Nvidia
I just decided to buy a GTX 260, now I don't want to.
Check my 4870x2 playing crysis at 1920x1200 res. all setts on Very-High with 8xq aa on youtube.

They even went on to show that you could buy a SLI mobo and 2 gtx260s for about the same prices as the 4870x2, so its not realy the king IMO.
The 4870x2 is very nice 2 gpus in one card, but I think the price needs to come down some to make it price performace king.
Now the 4870 was king when it came out, but the GTX260 can be had cheaper now, and does better in most games so ATI is no longer #1.(this is all based on reading lots of reviews that we done months after the 4870 and 4870x2 came out)
The new GTX260+/GTX270 w/e they call it, with +24 shader cores, this will be the card to get IMO.
I play crysis at 1920x1200 res. with all on very-high setts with 8xq aa and i get 30-50fps.
The 260gtx is slower than the 4870.The 4870 actually competes with the 280gtx.
I have both the 4870 and the 4870x2 So, you can't convince me till you show a vid of your 260gtx/s cards.

And thisis the crysis game play.

Im not saying its not good, and glad you like your card, but in most games GTX260>4870 and GTX260 SLI > 4870x2 GTX280 SLI/Tri > All.
Im not going to link other sites reviews, but I read one just the other day they took 10games, ATI 4870x2 won 3, NV won 5, and 2 were a tie, due to being CPU bound.
Im not a ATI fan, had bad problems with 3 that i have owned, but Im also not out to make them look bad, but what I am is sick of ppl YELLING ATI IS KING when they dont do reserch,and base their claims off the price of the card when they came out.
Fact ATI had the price vs preformace when the 4870 came out.
Fact ATI has the fastest single card on the market.
Fact ATI makes good cards.
Fact ATI(AMD) is the number 2 CPU/GPU maker in the world.
Yea i agree not sure that GT206 is the new GTX260 or not, lots of ppl say the GTX260+/GTX270 will be out this month, the GT206 shows to be out around Christmas, but it also shows to be a lower card then the GTX280, this would lead many to think its the +24shader GTX260.
I mean why would they have 2 cards in that same preformace spot.
Check my friends "Russiaforthewin" 260gtx's benchmarks on youtube.
I have had both ATI and Nvidia cards and both are good.But now,Nvidia's best card is not faster than AMD's "4870 not the x2" and it costs a lot more.
So, AMD is the best choice.
Also they probably don't know anything about the new chips except the pin number and layout, power envelope and such things, nothing about the internals or performance. A card assembler or partner in general doesn't really need more info and they could have based their performance expectations based on memory width and power envelop, and both could be the same as on current GTX cards. But on the smaller nodes, performance can be much higher at same power envelope.
