More graphics card 'gossip' today. It seems that the GeForce GTX 660 is
scheduled to arrive this summer. i've heard gossip about Computex already, but
that seems a little too soon to be honest. SweClockers got some info claiming
that the card would become available for 2500 Swedish kronors, which is around
$350 (including high VAT). Earlier leaks said that it will cost between $299 and
$329.
For Kepler it is suggested to be using the GK106 GPU and it would four shader
clusters (SMX), considering that the Kepler architecture has 192 shaders per SMX,
this card would get 768 shader aka cuda cores, stream processors. It is likely
to be paired with 2Gb GDDR5 graphics memory but the discussion on whether that
is 128 or 256-bit remains open. We think it'll have to be 256-bit for the
product to make real sense.
To recap a GTX 660 could be inbound in-between June and August at roughly 299
USD ex VAT. Now a hint to the board partners, somebody just HAS to do a GeForce GTX 666
edition.
