A week after CES and GTX 295


The guys
over at OCWorkbench claim to have received official confirmation from Nvidia regarding the release of the GeForce GTX 285. The card will launch on January 15th, just one week after the debut of dual-PCB GeForce GTX 295 and the first day of CES 2009.

As reported earlier, several Taiwanese retailers have already begun listing ASUS and XFX GeForce GTX 285 cards, with pricing roughly similar to the GTX 280 regardless of region or country. The Taiwanese retailers also mentioned the January 15th as the availability date.

While the new 55nm card is expected to have an average 10% performance gain over its 65nm GTX 280 predecessor, it is important to note that Nvidia's 40nm GT212s are just around the corner and may even be introduced at lower price points due to effective reductions in manufacturing costs.
