Once more we have confirmed that the chip that we call GT300 is on schedule to launch in 2009. The way it looks now the chip should be launching roughly in November timeframe and of course it will be a high end product.

Nvidia has put in a lot of effort in order to beat ATI and keep the performance leadership, as this is something it cannot afford to lose. The real volume shipment of Nvidia’s new DirectX 11, 40nm high end part should be expected in early Q1 2010 but since $599+ products are not selling in millions of units, Nvidia should be able to ship sufficient cards to consumers.

Even if something goes wrong, Nvidia will still show its hardware in late Q4 2009 just as they did with Geforce GTX 295 dual chip and ship it in early Q1 2010, as the strategy worked last time.
