14 DAY TRIAL // According to recent reports on the Internet, memory vendor Mushkin is about to launch a complete new line of NVIDIA GeForce-based graphics cards, providing end-users with yet another alternative to the crowded market of GeForce graphics cards. All of the new models will be based on the latest NVIDIA GT200 GPU architecture and will be available in both standard and custom form factors, featuring increased clocked speeds and memory capacity.
According to a recent news-article on hothardware, Mushkin has announced its entry in the graphics card market with the launch of a complete series of GT200-based graphics cards. This new line will be part of the company's ultimateFX family of graphics processing units, which will apparently be comprised of GeForce-based solutions.
As part of the new series, Mushkin has debuted a couple of new products, namely the ultimateFX GeForce GTX260, GTX260 (1792MB), GTX260 OC, GTX260 OC2, GTX275, GTX275 OC, GTX275 OC2, GTX285 and GTX285 (2048MB). As you can see, there are a number of new models waiting to make themselves useful in your high-end desktop PC.
Although we have no specific details on the technical performances of said cards, it looks like Mushkin will try to differentiate itself from the pack by offering its new cards in a specifically designed package. According to the aforementioned article, these new cards will be delivered in special little wooden boxes that the company has trademarked as the “WoodBox.” This will certainly give computer users a sense of uniqueness and provide the cards with an upmarket packaging.
Unfortunately, there’s no word on the pricing of any of these cards, but we expect them to be priced a bit over those of the competition, especially given their unique package. As far availability goes, these solutions should become available soon enough.
