duh? They are gonna be last generation (from nVidia point of view) soon, anyways. (to be replaced with new cards, and yes, I have read the article)

Intel has stopped selling coppermines a while back.

On another note, yeah...


I hope nVidia doesn't try to just cater to the high end market, while their low end cards sucked too much power (compared to their direct competitors, even the mid range 4650 used less power and outdid the 9500gt/ 4550 to the 9400gt. What I didn't like was how the 9500gt and 9400gt have the same power draw listed... despite the halving of cores!

Maybe it was just a typo.

Seems a little extreme to say that, unless nVidia has something up its sleeve at this point. I don't think nVidia is out yet though; no competition is not a good sign D:

The 'shortage' of 260 and 275 parts might confirm this.

A little out there, but it does have a shred of believability. I was looking to replace an 8800GT with a $100 GTX260. Hell, 2 $100 GTX260's would be one hell of a deal. Sadly, $100 is the most nVidia can ask for when it comes to the GTX260, what with the $130 Radeon 5750 being faster and the $180 Radeon 5770 being a bit faster than the GTX275 (all this according to preliminary reports). I bet nVidia feels stoopid for pull PhysX support for their cards if an ATI card is doing the graphics. Some of us recent 5870/5850 owners would of hoped on a GTX260 for physics alone....Nothing like a company shotgunning off it's nose to spite it's face. Let's just hope this gets nVidia to officially allow Nvidia PhysX while using an ATI card to render....Yay nVidia becomes a physics card company! Ageia LIVES!!!

It'd make sense if the GTX285, 275, and 260 are too expensive to sell at a profit at the given price point that they would be competitive.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Personally I would have thought moving the 200 series proper to 40nm would have reduced costs enough to make it competative.

Hell, seeing as how there are rumours the new card won't be dx11 compliant it wouldn't really make them out of place if rebranded.

I'd prefer Intel be in this bad a spot, but not nVidia.

LOL. Sorry but this article rings too much of "the sky is falling" for me to take it seriously. I know that Nvidia is being seriously pressured by the 5800 series and the upcoming 5700 series but it's hard to believe they would just throw in the towel so soon. I'll believe it when I see it. A few healthy price cuts on their currently overpriced lineup and Nvidia will be selling cards again. Though possibly at a loss, it's better than selling nothing. Isn't it?

nVidia's abandoning the high-end market? I don't think so.
