I just wanted to make note of a new NVIDIA release that is happening today - a revision of the GeForce GTX 260 GPU will be hitting the streets this week to increase competition on the 'AMD Radeon HD 4870'.
What is a "new revision" of the GTX 260? While previous versions of the GTX 260 were based on the GT200 GPU and came with 192 shaders, today's updated GTX 260 cards will ship with another full block of SPs enabled for a total of 216 SPs. That puts it just 24 SPs away from the full 240 that the GTX 280 card sports. The memory configuration remains the same though: 448-bit memory bus with 896MB of frame buffer.
