According to Digitimes, the two major GPU makes are already readying the next generation cards that’ll be capable of DirectX 11. The said cards will be available by the end of the year.
Nvidia’s GT300 series cards will be done by end of this month and will be ready for shipping by December of this year.
With the ATi’s 5800 series will also be done by around the same time Nvidia’s GT300 series, but they’ll start shipping 2 months earlier which is around October. A little too fast. As usual trying to catch up to beat the competition.
This’ll pretty much mean that price drops are coming. Upgrades are coming. Time to save up. LOL. I ain’t upgrading my GTX295 anytime soon. I’m still saving up for an i7.

I know Asus is pretty expensive but, holy cripes! $1700 for an SLI card?? Are they insane? Noone’s gonna buy that. At that price anyone can already purchase a darn good computer. I know it’s not exactly marketed for the mass market. But they could at least charge a lot less for it. Since you could already buy 3 GTX295′s with that price and still have change. According to Newegg, an EVGA GTX295 Co-op edition costs $529.99 as of 6/24/2009.
The guy I’ll be seeing having one of these on TPC would have to not care about money at all or they’d have to be, well, stupid.

Asus Mars
Any of you guys absolutely sick of hearing about the Single PCB version of the GTX295? Here’s a follow up now to what Asus has been cooking up.
As you can see this monster will be just like it’s predecessor a Dual slot card with 2 PCB’s sandwiched together and the heatsink will be in just like as it was with the reference version of the GTX295, right in the middle. There are vents on each side that help dissipate the heat.
