NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275: launch problems

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 is little more than a week old and was released to compete against the ATI Radeon HD 4890. The card was meant to be launched on April 14, but due to the early launch, only 5,000 units were made available.

However, one DailyTech reader has said that more of these NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 GPUs were available in North America via e-tailers Newegg and Mwave. DailyTech had also been emailed, and it said that 10s of thousands of the card were shipped. NVIDIA told them that the chips are now in mass production, and they are already available in stores and webstores.

The GeForce GTX 275 has been featured on the GT200 architecture and comes with 240 processor cores operating at 1404 MHz. The card has great performance thanks to a 448-bit memory interface, 80 texture-processing units, and an 896 MB frame buffer.

Looking at previous benchmark performance, the GT200 proves to have a slight edge on the Radeon 4890.
