14 DAY TRIAL // Following the recent details on the upcoming Fermi GPU architecture that NVIDIA made available, news of the company's future GeForce cards continues to surface. Despite the outfit's secrecy regarding the clocks of its next-generation GF100 cards, there are reports claiming that NVIDIA is already working on a dual-GPU version of its Fermi architecture. In addition, the Santa Clara, California-based chip maker will also be introducing new mainstream cards, based on the same GPU technology, which will likely debut around mid 2010.
Our colleagues over at Fudzilla, recently reported that the Santa Clara, California-based graphics chip maker should be on schedule with the release of a dual-GPU version of its Fermi-based GF100 graphics card. The dual-GPU monster should get a formal introduction about one month after the outfit announces its much-anticipated, next-generation, single-GPU GeForce card. This essentially means that, in April, we should hear more about the card that will replace the company's current dual-GPU monster, the GTX 295.
In addition, NVIDIA is also looking to expand its mainstream and entry-level offering, as this is the segment where the most profit is, due to the potential of selling millions of such cards. Based on the same architecture, the upcoming mainstream cards from NVIDIA will take advantage of the same manufacturing process, delivering support for the same features set. According to Fudzilla's sources, the card is expected to debut sometime in June, or roughly about a quarter after the debut of the company's high-end model.
As it's the case with the first Fermi-based card that NVIDIA is expected to roll out, sometime in March, the technical details that make up these cards are still under wraps. However, we should know more by the time NVIDIA decides to officially intro the new card, in a little over a month, now, probably around CeBIT 2010 time.
