Nvidia GT206, GT212, GT216 and GT300

October 30th, 2008 Posted in GPUs

GT2xx generation cards' life cycle is not over yet, the GT206 will be released in Q4 2008, presumably to cash in on the christmas shopping season. GT206, the last 55 nm cards, seems to be having problems with its shader domain, which has pushed its launch for that late. Following GT206, GT212 and GT216 would be Nvidia's entries to the 40nm silicon fabrication process, both will support GDDR5 memory on a broad memory bus. GT212 will be released in Q1 2009, GT216 in Q2 2009. Towards the end of the year however, Nvidia is planning to launch the GT3xx generation DirectX 11 cards.
