NVIDIA GeForce GTX275 Specs Detailed

We said that NVIDIA was not planning reference sample of GTX275, and we manage to grab more details about it.
The performance of GTX285 is supposed to between GTX260 and GTX285. There’re rumors indicating that GTX275 is an overclocked edition of GTX260, which is untrue.
According to our source, GTX275 features 240 stream processors just as GTX285. Equipped with GDDR3 memory to form 896MB/448bit, GTX275 is coming with core/shader/memory clock of 633/1404/1161MHz. Considering the default frequencies of 648/1476/1242MHz and memory interface of 512bit found on GTX285, their performance should be very close.
NVIDIA aims to beat HD4890 with GeForce GTX275, but GTX275 will naturally affect the selling of GTX285, so this would be a problem for NVIDIA.

also worth noting is that with the 240 shaders I imagine that the full 80 TMUs are available. So differance would equal a whopping:
4 ROPs
64-bit
60 fillrate/27k Flops/30gbps bandwidth
That my friends, is absurd. That’s really splitting split hairs, when the 260(216) is already so close in actual performance.
Anything, I suppose, to keep the 285 propped up.
The question is: If any form of 4890 is faster than 285, does the house of cards fall, or does nvidia fill the gap with a 290, perhaps with an 8-pin plug?
This is getting (more) ridiculous.

As always, they’re just stretching stuff out until the new chips are released.. milking the cow, you know what I mean
