NVIDIA: the GeForce GTX 560 will be released on May 17

NVIDIA seems to have decided to end the NDAs covering its upcoming products and their launch dates itself, since it has once again officially announced its new baby: the GeForce GTX 560. Lacking the Ti, it will be officially unveiled on May 17th.

And it's via a YouTube video that we learn this, showcasing two games sponsored by the manufacturer: Duke Nukem Forever and Alice: Madness Returns. In the end we learn fairly little about the titles, aside from the fact that they run really great on this new product! (no kidding?).

We can see the card, which looks strikingly like a GTX 560 Ti, with two six-pin PCIe connectors on the power connectors. No other information will be given about this product, we'll have to wait a few more days to get all the confirmations.

As a reminder, until now it was a matter of 336 CUDA Cores, 56 texture units and 32 ROPs (like the GTX 460 1 GB), all with a 256-bit memory interface and a GPU at 800 MHz (versus 675 MHz for the GTX 460 1 GB).

So its price remains unknown. Right now you can find GeForce GTX 460 cards with 1 GB of memory for around €150. Let's hope it will be the same for this replacement.

Well, all I know is that a his 6990 makes a GTX 580 look ridiculous (50 fps difference in 1920x1200 on Stalker.

For info, the 6990 is actually 2 6970s with 1250 mhz memory.

However for this kind of card, you need a serious power supply!

AMD and Nvidia have been playing the who's-got-the-biggest game for a while now ^^' ...personally I don't care about cards between 200 and 600€ (or more)
In the mid-range, AMD easily wins the performance/price crown. Sure... not flawless (noise, temperature, confusing model names, etc...) but on that front Nvidia doesn't do any better.
