OCW recently revealed details of the latest G80 based cards which include the 8900GTX and a dual-GPU solution too in the form of the 8950GX2.

The Geforce 8950GX2 is a dual-chip card just like the 7950 GX2 and is based on a new G80 chip build on the 80nm architecture. Both GX2 GPUs are clocked at 550MHz and the feature GDDR4 memory. The card comes with a total of 1GB of 256-bit GDDR4 memory clocked at 2000MHz. The $600 card has 96 shaders, per chip.

The 8900GTX will be an upgrade for the current top end card, the 8800GTX. It will sell for  $550 USD and has 128 shaders. It will also have GDDR4 memory at a clock rate of 2200MHz.

Apart from these top-end cards, nVidia is also readying cheap DirectX 10 capable cards like the 8300LE and the 8100GS which will cost $59 and $49 respectively. But they feature only GDDR2 memory and just 32 Shaders. All the new G80 based will be build on the 80nm architecture.
