More interesting GPU moves coming from NVIDIA

After the release and rebranding of the GeForce GTS 250 graphics card this month, it appears that NVIDIA might have some more “new” products coming down the pipeline.  And by “new” I mean “not really new at all.”

First up are reports of a GeForce GTX 275 product that would essentially be based on the GPU contained on the GeForce GTX 295 graphics card.  The difference would be that the GTX 275 would only be a single GPU and would sell for somewhere between the $175 price on the GTX 260+ and the $330 price on the GTX 285.  If the assertion that the GTX 275 would use the same 55nm GPU as the GTX 295 is true, then the card specs would be like this:

• 240 stream processors
• 576 MHz core clock
• 1242 MHz shader clock
• 1000 / 2000 MHz GDDR3 memory clock
• 896MB total frame buffer
• 448-bit memory interface per core
• 56 total ROPs (28 per core)
• 160 texture units (80 per core)
