    I'm guessing you mean desktop cards - there's going to be a GTX 270, GTX 290, and GTX 290 X2 coming out at some point, but they're going to be pretty small increases over the GTX 260/280. Mostly small clock speed increases. And I think it'll be awhile yet before they come out - H1 2009 at some point. For now the GTX 280 is nVIDIA's best GPU.

    That's assuming you mean desktop. Notebook, I don't know anything about when GeForce 10 (the 2xx serie) will be coming out.

    It may be a while, given all the issues surrounding Nvidia mobile GPUs.
    The 9 Series seem to be doing just fine, atm.

    Well given the huge size of GTX200s I don't think they will ever release in notebook (9800GTX is already at it limit for size and heat)

    of course they will, it might have to wait until they do a revision refresh on a smaller process size. so they will shrink everything, release faster desktop cards built on a revised core, and then release laptop cards based on that as well.

    same thing happened with the 8800's. they had to do a refresh of the 8800's (g92?) before any laptop 8800's came out. around the same time, we got the "new" 8800 GT and GTS that were faster than the older 8800's. the 9000 cards are basically just a rebranded line.

    so yeah, when the "new" gtx 280's come out, we will see laptop cards too.
