What video card do you think Nvidia will launch as a replacement for GT 720?

A design based on GM108 or something different?

(GT 720 was announced ~one year ago---> http://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-gt-720,27424.html, so I am thinking it might be up for replacement fairly soon now)

Rebrand most likely.

According to Game debate (which sources a forum member), there will be a GT 930 based on Maxwell released September 2015.

Despite being also manufactured with a 28nm technology, it has an extremely large L2 Cache which allows NVIDIA to produce Graphics Cards with relatively small memory data transfer rates, without causing too much impact on the overall performance.

The part about the cache size reducing bandwidth needs I thought was interesting considering it (along with GK208 based GT 630/GT730) is a 64 bit DDR3 card.

Kepler 64 bit DDR3 vs. Maxwell 64 bit DDR3, how much farther can Maxewell go on the same limited amount of bandwidth?

White paper from Nvidia discussing the benefits of the larger L2 cache on reducing memory bandwidth needs:

Maxwell also boasts a dramatically larger L2 cache design; 2048KB in GM107 versus 256KB in GK107. With more cache located on chip, fewer requests to the graphics card DRAM are needed, thus reducing overall board power and improving performance.
