Nvidia Releases GeForce GT 300 OEM Series Bump
When Nvidia announced that its next-generation GF100 parts would be marketed first as GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470, we all noticed that the company skipped the 300s. Now we've noticed what the graphics maker is doing with the 300-level – saving the numbers for refreshed OEM parts.
VR-Zone spotted three new GeForce products on the Nvidia OEM-only section of its GeForce Family page: the GeForce GT 340, GeForce GT 330, and GeForce GT 320.
The GT 340 appears to be a GT 240 but with a GDDR5 bump. The GT 330's roots are a little more fuzzy, as Nvidia lists the part as having somewhere between 96 and 112 CUDA cores, which leaves us guessing that it is either another variant of the GTS 240 or upgraded GT215. The GT 320 presents a pleasant bump from the GT 220 with 72 CUDA cores.
Enthusiasts' eyes will be more interested at the release of the Fermi-based GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470 when they launch on March 26.
I just want Fermi... I was hoping that the 300 series would be a smaller form factor of the GTX200 series at least.

I don't understand the logic in this.
What is it about the concept of OEM only cards that's beyond your understanding?
Somebody won.
but... us...>_
so.... Nvidia is holding everybody back??
lucky bitch. lol. i wish i had enough money (but the wife don't let me...)
Don't worry pal. If those Fermi are the new champs, then you're still on the top three for some time.
Nvidia please...do not feed the troll. Are you holding back? First with some random Geforce PC with 2 GB of RAM and a 9800 card, now you're using de 300-ish playground for the OEM camp and we still believe that you're using the G92 somewhere in the middle of those cards.
Let's see with what they come up with before March 26. Prediction: Geforce PC with 4 GB of RAM and a 300 series (oh wait..that's...ugh..nerver mind) or Geforce GTX 290 refreshed with 45 more CUDA cores and still 55 nm ( as 285).
