EXPreview is reporting that EVGA has sent out 300 invitations to a special event at NVidia headquarters on Halloween night, where they’ll be launching a new GeForce product. Of course, they’re keeping it all mysterious but news is leaking out.
According to what BSN has found out, this would be a dual-GPU card by combining GeForce GTS 250 with GeForce GTX 275, which means an interesting combination of G92 and GT206/GT200b GPUs. Undoubtedly, this would be the very first graphics card which packs two different GPU chips onto the same PCB.
The sole purpose of G92 is be used for PhysX effects, so it sits in idle mode during regular Windows applications. The chip only works when PhysX gets into overdrive.
Rumors have the price point between $350-$420, making it in the ballpark of the Radeon HD5850/5870, but are people willing to pay for a card with no significant boost to rendering quality?
