We don't have any additional details, but sometime in December we should finally see Nvidia's refresh of the GT200 series and this time it will be a 55nm chip. The introduction might even take place in November, but the real McCoy will come in December.

Naturally, it should end up cooler and faster, probably clocked a bit higher than the current GT200, and it could be paired up in a dual card, the rumored dual GT200 55nm card, that is.

Nvidia hopes to narrow the gap between ATI cards and its own, or if all goes well to get the performance crown back. This is Nvidia’s only hope, as its real hope, the 40nm chips, are coming March 2009 at the earliest, and we suspect that Q2 2009 is a much more realistic time frame. Until then, they have to try to fight ATI with all they have.
