After checking out EVGA.com, we found a page in the news section that announces the event as well. As it turns out, EVGA and nVidia teamed up [or to be more precise - EVGA's engineering team delivered] and organized a launch party for 300 lucky participants who will come to nVidia's campus over at Santa Clara, CA and witness the launch of a new GeForce product. This kicked out interest into high gear, but being geographically dislocated [there are 'only' 6131 miles as the crow flies between my building and nVidia's Santa Clara campus] meant that we'll have to skip on the event. We turned to our sources and after few hours discovered the reason behind the event.
After talking to several people in the know, we managed to get to the bottom of this quite exciting announcement. While we don't have a final name for the card, it turns out that EVGA created a dual GPU card by combining GeForce GTS 250 with GeForce GTX 275. That's right, a dedicated PhysX GPU in the form of trusty G92 [debuted as 8800, rebranded as 9800, GTS 250 and GTX 260M/280M] and GT206/GT200b GPU for graphics. This is quite an interesting combination, to say the least. You're free to correct me in the comments if I am wrong - but I think this is the first time that any company took two different GPU chips and combined them on the same PCB. I've been a tech journalist for 10 years [Dec 15, 1999], but I never heard of such a combination.
