It is speculation until Nvidia announces it.

im drawing a logical conclusion from a few facts and key statements on nvidias part.

they have said there will be no core changes, bar the move to 55nm

they have said it will be "roughly" 10% faster overall.

put those 2 together, and you will see it has to be clocked faster.

i just want to share my opinions about cool new hardware man, mates?

regardless of all of this it is still ironic that a cost cutting measure such as a smaller manufacturing process is increasing prices.

only at first. give it 2-3 months when the 65nm parts are harder to find, and they'll suddenly announce 'price cuts'

i'll end up getting a 55nm 260 if nothing betters out in that price range by late january.

Ditto

Also do you think using a PCI-e 2.0 card will see a significant performance hit using a PCI-e 1.0 motherboard?
