1.4 billion transistors. Just let that number sink in for a little while. One point four billion transistors. That's how big the GTX 200 GPU at the heart of Nvidia's new high-end graphics cards is. To put that in perspective, Intel's latest 45nm quad-core CPUs with 12MB of cache is about 820 million transistors—70% less.
The two products built using the GTX 200 chip are the GeForce GTX 280, which fully enables all the chip's capabilities, and the less expensive GeForce GTX 260, the so-called "salvage chip" that has some of the chip's parts disabled (typically, this is done to get use out of chips with small defects that would otherwise have been thrown out).
No doubt about it, Nvidia is aiming straight at the high-end with this product launch. With price tags estimated at $650 for the GTX 280 cards and $400 for the GTX 260 cards, these single-GPU cards already occupy the rarified air typically reserved for dual-GPU cards. Does the performance match up to the sticker shock?
