Guru3D.com Image Another report has revealed more details on the NVIDIA GK104 GPU (graphics processing unit) based graphico card.This is the chip that will power the Santa Clara, California-based company's mainstream cards, also known as mid-range models.

That means that the GK104 will land on the card, or cards, that will succeed the GeForce GTX 560 Ti.

That is to say, the successor to the GTX 560 Ti will have a performance around the level of AMD's Radeon HD 7900 series. The GK104 has a memory interface of 256 bits and will be backed by up to 2GB of GDDR5 VRAM.

Meanwhile, the TDP (thermal design power) is of 225W.

Needless to say, the implications of this are massive, but one should not be too quick to jump headlong into excitement just yet. But when looking back at the GeForce 400 series being prepared, there was a similar level of hype, with many hoping for a product series that would clearly best AMD's Radeon.

The GTX 680 could arrive as early as February.
