This doesn't seem right....they made the distinction between GTX 295 and GT300 but hopefully they're not confusing them. Earlier rumors said GT216 on a 40nm process with some improvements over GT200/GT206/GT208 in Q2 with GT300 following in Q4 with a new architecture.

Seems early for a new arch imo. I would think this would show up about 3rd qtr 09. The refresh being 1st qtr.

Wasn't GT300 supposed to be on 40nm and in 2nd or 3rd quarter? I think this is GTX 295.

I also think this is gtx295, wouldnt make sense to release a new series at around the same time

They need to chill the fuck out and let a product stand for a yr or more and just be like the old days how we could go on the same card for 1-2 yrs without having new models every 4 months. The way it's been going, your hardware becomes obsolete or an "older gen" whithin a few months :Q :Q

They are always pushing the upgrade treadmill. I'm sure that the 4850s I purchased (two pairs!), will be obsolete within six months, at the going rate.

Just because it seems that way, doesnt mean it is not a good card. Companies should not stop progressing just so your e-ego isnt hurt

I'm going to go with the thread consensus on this one and say that they are not referring to the next architecture.

All this speculation... Why can't we just wait until they release something.

When did we have a GPU that stood the test of time for 2 years? The upgrade cycle has been about 12-18 months since the first Voodoo showed up in 1996. With a refresh cycle at about 6 months past initial release.
