Another Fermi in the pipe.
Nvidia is set to roll out another Fermi-based product to fill out its product lineup. Spotted on Chinese rumor site ZOL is the GF106 which is supposed to power the GeForce GTS 440, 445, and 450.
Impressively, ZOL managed to secure an actual chip shot of the GF106, which measured an approximate 15.2mm to 15.7mm across.

According to the report, the chip was supposed to launch this month, but has been pushed back to September. Pricing is expected to be in the neighbourhood of $150 to $170, at least for the GTS 450, and it'll be open to custom designs from OEMs.
Last month, the blueprints for the chip were leaked at another Chinese site.

...there's a much larger difference in price then that. The GTX460 1GB SLI can be found for around $460, while the HD5970 is still closer to $690. In most cases there's over a $200 difference.
nVidia! Keep pushing your launch dates and Southern Islands will push you out of the market.

Current gaming STARTS at 2x GTX 460's in SLI, or a single HD 5850, and goes up from there.
Low end
Mid level
High end
SLI... well, that's a new level right there really.
Anything else floods the market and causes confusion. STOP IT!

Really becuase the 5850 out performs the GTX470
