By

The current rumor is that NVIDIA wont be doing a paper launch with Kepler, instead there plan is to do a hard launch with GeForce based products available on launch day. NVIDIA plans to avoid doing a situation similar to there competitor AMD, when they launched the Radeon HD 7970 on December 22nd, 2011 with no retail availability until January 9th nearly 2 weeks later. Kepler is expected to hit the market in late March to early April, around the same time as Intel’s third-generation Core series processors.
