expreview.com has news that NVidia, presumably in response to AMD’s latest move to reschedule the Radeon HD4890 release to April 2nd, has done the same with the GTX275.
Unfortunately, NVidia has a reputation for “paper launches” (eg, Issuing press releases saying that it’s released, but without any inventory to actually sell). So even with the card “released” on Thursday, it’ll probably be a few months before anyone is actually selling them. That should give AMD a good lead in the short-term.
Specs on the GTX275 can be found on Hardware.Info
Update: Tom’s Hardware has more on this story.
According to Expreview, Nvidia will release the GeForce GTX 275 on April 2nd. Naturally, without some kind of source, such a date would be chalked up as simply rumor. However, that may not be the case, as DollarShops actually had the card listed for around $327 USD (€249) and promised to have the card in stock by April 4. Manufactured by Sparkle, the GeForce GTX 275 offers the 55nm GT200 GPU clocking in at 633 MHz and a 1164 MHz memory clock, 896 MB of DDR3 (448-bit), 240 stream processors, 2 DVI outputs and HDCP. However, now the card is gone, ripped from the online retail shop altogether.
Will it be released this week or not? That’s the big question right now.. Oh the Drama..
