EVGA + nVidia Launch event?

$5 on something that plays games as well as an existing card, but has some useless feature (to gamers) that will raise the price $200.

^Good point.

Yes, I do believe it's based on the current 2xx design with something "extra" that may or may not be good.

on some site they said it will be GTX275 pair up with GTS250. the graphic rendering will be handled by GTX275 alone and the G92 chips from GTS25 will be use as dedicated PhysX.

I guess well see the results next weekend eh? Could this be a mid stop to counter the ATI 5xxx cards before the 3xx release?

To answer, most likely: no (DX10.1 at best), and yes. Expecting useless filler card, which at least will sell to fans till Fermi arrives, Evga have to use imagination to have anything new in stock for a quarter or so.

I would say it's a combo card.

No new DX, no new OGL, OCL, CS, etc.

Probably a combo of old and new as mentioned, but I would think it's the G210 being used, not something so big as a GTS250.

So sell remaining old and struggling new, on a novelty card.

I think the reason Charlie and Fuad haven't written anything about it, because they're still laughing at the idea, especially with the low cost of current old stock, would anyone pay anywhere near enough for this, just to get the ease of a single card, versus simply adding a cheap GF8600/9500/9600 to a current rig?
