    I was on eurocoms website checking out components and I noticed something very interesting. They list the GeForce GTX 380M as available to be shipped. I thought it might have been a mistake in the name BUT its specs are 1GB GDDR5, DX11, made on 40nm! a pretty big mistake to make!

    Here is a screenshot of it I took.


    What do you guys think!?

    Eurocom has had the GTX 380M on their parts list since January. It is misinformation that they are notorious for.

    1. It's Eurocom, so don't believe it unless other sources confirm it.
    2. The 3xx series will only be 2xx series cards with DX 10.1 tacked on. In the high end, we may even see an actual GT200 derivative (only kind of crippled).

    Is that GDDR5 on a 128 or 256 it bus?

    Even if it was g92b core I would be interested if the memory (GDDR5) was paired with a 256 bit bus.

    GDDR5 on a 256 Bit bus might run too hot.
