Nvidia is planning to launch their single PCB, dual GPU GeForce GTX 295 card somewhere in mid May although the official launch date hasn’t been firmed up yet. The card is based on a new P658 PCB which is 11″ long and takes up 2 slots with a new cooler. The core clock remains unchanged at 576MHz while the memory is clocked slightly higher at 1100MHz. The card requires 8-pin and a 6-pin power. Price remains the unchanged so there is nothing much to get excited about.

While GeForce GTX275 and Radeon HD 4890 catch the most focus, we’re informed that NVIDIA is working on a new GTX295 reference design card featuring single PCB.
The current GTX295 features dual-PCB design codenamed P656 with one GPU on each. New GTX295 will adopt single PCB design known as P658, which means NVIDIA need to cram two G200 chips onto one PCB board. Therefore, the wiring and power supply parts as well as sandwich cooler need to be rearranged. In this way, the cost of cooler and thus whole VGA card can be significantly reduced. The clock and performance of GTX295 remain unchanged during this transition, and 6pin+8pin power connectors are employed. Added a back plate, the pricing of new GTX295 won’t be influenced.
NVIDIA is said to finalize the engineering sample of new GTX 295 within April, but it won’t be officially launched until May.
