StokedGamer.com has learned that NVIDIA will launch the 55nm successor to the GeForce GTX 280 at NVISION 08. We previously had our suspicions that the launch would be at NVISION. If you remember in the past NVIDIA has launched other GPUs at GeForce LAN, which is still a part of NVISION although the scope of the event is much broader than just a large LAN party.
This visual computing mega-event will be held in San Jose, California from August 25th-27th.
