It looks like Nvidia learns from mistakes of G7x generation On April 17th, Nvidia is set to introduce 8500GT, which will feature a chip with a full 128-bit memory controller, supporting either 256 or 512MB of DDR2 SDRAM memory. The GPU will be clocked 450 to 500MHz, depending on cooler and MSRP, while memory clocks will be set at 800MHz - you can expect faster versions as well. The chip only supports one Dual-Link DVI, so forget about running two 30-inch monitors but big issue is absence of mandatory HDCP. This may be a cause for cheer, because you can actually pick a card without HDCP, which leaves doors open for the creation of software emulators. We will see what nV planned with this one... AMD will follow with an event in Tunisia from 22nd to 25th of April, and we will be able to what Chimpzilla does with its RV610 design.
