NVIDIA to announce new Geforce FX cards @ CeBIT?

At the moment all the nVidia rumors surround the Geforce FX 5800 Ultra card - the highest end Geforce FX card already announced some time ago. It is suggested that these cards will be in very short supply when they finally hit retail (or if they do as some rumors also suggest they might never make it to retail).

However, NVIDIA does have some serious plans for mainstream market. It plans to introduce as soon as possible (CeBIT is suggested) at least 3 new cards based on GeforceFX core.

First one, is a GeForce FX 5600 Ultra card. This will be aimed perhaps at highest end of mainstream market. Geforce FX 5600 non-ultra might also be introduced but that still remains unclear at this time. Second card, GeForce FX 5200 Ultra will be aimed at higher end of low end market or middle/low part of mainstream market. Finally, GeForce FX 5200 non-ultra model will be aimed at low/entry level of the market.

These cards are planned to replace or upgrade the current position that Geforce4 Ti/MX family holds in the market. All these cards will fully support DirectX9 as well and should be available in stores as soon as beginning of Q2 2003. More details should emerge soon...
