Nvidia Geforce GTX 280 to launch on June 18th

Fudzilla: "We've found out what looks to be the launch date for GT200 cards. We are happy to report that both GT200 cards are single chip cards, something that we suggested back in January.

The launch should take place on the 18th of June, just in the middle of week 25, and at current schedule that is two days after ATI's RV770 launch.

The name Geforce GTX 280 looks a bit odd, but I'm sure that we will get used to it. The only other alternative was to use Geforce 9900 cliché but we believe that the GT200 deserves a better name. As its been suggested on many occasions, GT200 chip will have significantly more Shader units and the most frequent number that we heard was 240. We are still working on getting the confirmation of this bold specification.

Nvidia just ran out of numbers and it's starting all over again. It's like reseting the odometer, more or less."
