Sources at graphics card makers told DigiTimes that NVIDIA is working on a GF110-based GeForce GTX 580, this card is expected to be released by the end of November or early December and promises to be 20 percent faster than the GeForce GTX 480. This new chip a tweaked version of the GF100 GPU, NVIDIA's true next-gen GPU Maxwell, and this 28nm chip isn't expected to arrive until late 2011, around the time that AMD will introduce its next-gen parts as well.
After GF110, Nvidia is also set to gradually unveil its GF112, GF114 and GF119 in 2011 with market positions similar to its GF104, GF106 and GF108, respectively. The company is also preparing to announce 28nm Kepler GPUs by the end of 2011 and is currently developing Maxwell as Kepler's successor.
