nVidia planning dual chip GTS450 card for November?

jmke · 15th September 2010, 15:27

hen we first heard about the GTS450, there were 2 variants on the sheets we received. We were uncertain how they related to each other – both seemed identical – but one rated at 75w and the second at 150w. Second piece of info was the lack of a refresh part for the GTX470 and GTX480 – even though they both need it. While the timeline for GTX475 and 485 (if that’s what they’re finally called) moves later and later – maybe into 2011 – how does nVidia fight with AMD’s toughest products?

Lastly, the driver. nVidia released a driver which listed the GTS450 twice. Now why would you need 2 entries for one card? We’re gonna go out on a limb and say that nVidia is preparing a dual-GTS450 card for launch in November which will retail in the UK at just over £200. The aim will be to knock sales of the Radeon HD 5850/5870 and also make life harder for the incoming Radeon 6000 parts.
