On the heels of a rather unusual (and poorly received) announcement this morning that they'd be showing off the GTX 400 series at PAX East this year, NVIDIA has made a second and much more to-the-point announcement today.
 
The GTX 400 series will be launching March 26th.
 
And at this point that's all we know. Specifications, performance, pricing, launch quantities, etc remain to be seen. Perhaps more interesting is that this is on a Friday. We can't immediately recall a Friday GPU launch, even for a refresh part. Like everything else, the whether this has any significance remains to be seen.

    You just said it, they will not necessarily lie... I read other tech than him, google search about 40nm and find out about it. Okay the guy won't find anything bad about ATI... he's got a side, but doesn't mean what he says his all false... that's said by nvidia's fanboys who I think are blinder than anyone else

    And himself says that he heard rumors, speaking with people linked to TSMC... but then again do the research on google about it and find the similarities. The guy is not THE ultimate reference, but it'S not up to say he's worth nothing without explaining why...

    I like Charlie's work. He's no Anand, but of all the tabloid style tech reporters, he's the only one worth reading. Sure, he blows stories out of proportion at times, and he clearly has a bias against nvidia. But he's been spot-on about Fermi all along, and months before everyone else. He alone was responsible for exposing the fake Fermi cards. Frankly, until HardOCP reviews the card, I'll believe what Charlie says about Fermi over any other source.

    I won't believe anyone on a card that isn't even out in the open yet.

    Examples or it's not true. He's been right about an awful lot, personal vendetta or not.

    nVIDIA uses every marketing/pr trick in the book. Friday means everything.

    FYI for those posting about nvidia skipping 300 series, well that is incorect on your part.

    Nvidia 300 series parts as you can see on thier web site is specifically for OEM branded use, basically its thier built in video on laptops and mobo's series, not actually buy off the shelf video card series.

    But the new cards are not going to do well since they cant compete with ATI currently.

    And no this is not a fan boy remark at all,
    check specs comon logistics,

    Nvidia 400 series will do 3 panel display only if you have SLI so you need to buy more cards just to make it work, and also the max resolution they spec for thier new 3 panel option is 1920x1080.

    Ok why would anyone fan boy or not spend cash for 3 LCD's and have to buy 2 or 3 vid cards just to run at 1920x1080 ? even if they are a bit faster then ATI, most would prefer a single card that can run 5760x1200 or even go portait mode 3600x1920 for 3 screens. Ill take the 5760x1200 or 3600x1920 any day over a 1920x1080 max even if i lose a few FPS for it. Bottom line nvidia is in trouble, as there 3D touting stuff is only a gimick item for a few games, when ATI gives you 5760x1200 which you can use for work as well as just play, its got more overall long term usage value due to that effect alone, reguardless of speed.

    Most poeople buy LCD based on size 1st then quality.
