New Batch of NVIDIA Releases Set for May, 2012

One might say that NVIDIA has just finished its most recent wave of product releases, even though it only launched one single desktop product itself, along with some mobile GPUs.

The ones really responsible for how many new graphics cards are now running on the market are the Santa Clara, California-based company's many partners.

Now, it is believed that something similar will take place no more than two months from now, or thereabouts.

More precisely, it is reported  that its most recent wave of product releases will happen in May, 2012.

Also, NVIDIA will be slightly more proactive as well, unveiling two more graphics cards instead of one.

This isn't to say that the GeForce GTX 680 was not enough of a product launch on its own, but the reputation earned by its top-tier status is counterbalanced by the fact that few people will afford it.

As such, we cannot help but look forward to the GeForce GTX 670 and GeForce GTX 670 Ti.

In addition to these desktop adapters powered by the GK104 graphics processing unit (GPU), NVIDIA will release some GK107-based mobile graphics: GeForce GT 650M and 640M.

Not only those, but also a GK106-powered video board called GeForce GTX 660.

All in all, NVIDIA wants to enter the last month of this year's first half with a full coverage of the video market above the $250 price point.

For those seeking cheaper boards, the GeForce GTX 560 SE and its similarly endowed peers should do just as well. It would not do to give customers reasons not to buy the remaining GF114-based products after all.

Nevertheless, what hardcore enthusiasts are looking forward to is the GTX 690, a dual-GK104 beast that will battle the April-bound AMD Radeon HD 7990.

Speaking of which, Advanced Micro Devices is not known to be preparing any new batch of GPUs or video cards besides that monster (for the short term).
