Nvidia is working on an improved version of GT200 done in 55nm, and the new chip is most likely to come next year. GT200 can support GDDR5, but we believe that this will be Nvidia's last resort.

The question remains if Nvidia really needs to push with a potential version of GDDR5 GT200. and this would only occur if ATI's R700, possibly called Radeon HD 4870 X2, bets Nvidia in a performance crown match.

Nvidia cannot do its cool marketing without a performance crown, and therefore they will fight until their last breath. Some people have suggeted that the dual-chip R700 card can beat Nvidia, but we cannot confirm or deny these claims, as both are possible.

One thing is certain, and that is that Nvidia never sleeps.
