The upcoming Newest GeForce card is the 8 series card which is expected to be 2 times faster than the fastest card currently present.

Also the SLI mode will probably be for 3 cards for this one

More details and performance comparisons here

All graphic cards have been priced too much in Indian market compared to international market donno why ?

I dont expect it to be priced anywhere less than 40k in India. Prices of graphics cards in India always suck. Hopefully this should bring the prices of 7900GTX and 7950GX2 below 30k.

yep a big power consumer, will put a very big hole in the pocket of whomsoever who buys it.

not advisable to buy it now until you are uber rich. better wait for a few months and wait for a few more models.

prices will be above 40k.

8800gts is lukin a better option right now

The power consumption was for the whole system with the graphic card under full load accounting to 300W.

Its just that the sys requires a min of 450W power supply is recommended(It also requires 2 PCl-E power connectors).
