Nvidia's next-generation GT200-based graphics cards must be close to ready, because details and pictures of them are leaking out at a quickening pace. Yesterday, we had a look at purported mechanical renders of GT200 graphics boards. Today, we see Chinese site PC Online has nabbed pictures of the matching dual-slot stock cooler, which looks half-way between what's on current GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB and GeForce 9800 GTX graphics cards.

According to PC Online, this cooler will fit onto GT200-based "GeForce 9900 GTX" products that will feature 240 stream processors, 32 raster units, 1GB of GDDR3 memory, and 512-bit memory interfaces. Supposedly, the first GT200 chips will be built on a 65nm process, so the cards will have power envelopes as high as 240W. 55nm GT200 GPUs may follow later on, however.

Separately from the PC Online report, Fuad Abazovic over at Fudzilla says he's learned that Nvidia will launch the GeForce 9900 GTX at $499. While previous rumors have pointed to a July launch date, Fudo says the cards will arrive in June.

Hopefully the rumors are true and this is 240SP GPU we've all been waiting for

i may have to get 2 of these cards when they come out. guess its time to build a complete new rig.

I don't know why websites trust what randomly appears on chinese sites... And $499? It had better perform at least as well as a 9800GX2 for that kind of cash. And how can this be next generation if it is essentially 2 G92 cores on a single die?

This is a very good point, all you keep hearing is new architecture this new architecture that, Gt200 is going to pwn! Whatever...it's already known to be yet another G92 revision.

I think nVIDIA is pulling at strings to fight against the RV770XT
Which is over-rated in itself.

I guess that will be around £300 plus in uk

I think a single GPU card with 240sp, 1GB GDDR3, a 512-bit bus, and 32 ROPs would be quite a step up in performance from anything out now. Those specs are inline with the advertised specs of the 9800GX2 though anyone who's owned the 9800GX2 or has had an SLI setup knows that putting two 512mb GDDR3 cards in SLI doesn't mean you now have 1GB GDDR3, with a 512-bit bus. With SLI or a GX2 those specs don't really combine like that, but with the 9900GTX it will actually have 1GB GDDR3 as well as a 512-bit bus, 240sp, and 32 ROPs because it will be one card with one GPU.

If only it had DX10.1 support.
