Our sources have confirmed that NVIDIA is talking about a dual chip solution that might come in December. We are not sure which chip is behind this dual card story, but it has been rumored that there might be a dual GT200 55nm card that is currently in the works. NVIDIA is extremely secretive these days and they didn't share their future plans with clients. They simply told them to believe in CUDA, PhysX and graphics plus concept, something that NVIDIA really tries to push. We need to remind NVIDIA one more time that money actually comes from gaming and other segments of video markers, not from these CUDA like things, but we are sure that NVIDIA that knows that as well. - FudZilla NVIDIA Working On Dual-GPU Card And 40nm Switch
This dual card would most likely be the hottest and the most power greedy card of all times but it won't matter if it manages to put a good speed margin between itself and the Radeon HD 4870 X2, the card that currently leads in the extreme performance market. If all goes well, NVIDIA will have its new architecture 40nm chip ready for launch in March. We don't know if this is a mainstream, low-end or high-end GPU, but at least one of these chips will be ready in March. Of course, this is the best case scenario and if something goes wrong, the schedule will have to be pushed back, but let's be optimistic for a moment. And lket's hope for NVIDIA's sake that everything will go smoothly this time. In fact NVIDIA had hoped to have its 40nm chips earlier, but due to some delays caused by TSMC this will have to wait at least until March. After quarter two of 2009 there should be even more chips from NVIDIA and ATI in 40nm as they both plan to make this transition roughly at the same time. For once, NVIDIA is likely to get to 40nm first, as ATI might wait to see what NVIDIA has up its sleeve, as it currently has dominance with its 55nm. But it should follow shortly after NVIDIA, or roughly at the same time.
