Several manufacturers making use of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 and 275 announced to have stopped production of such GPU-based graphic cards. The reason is rather unusual and is worth a news. While production usually stops because the product is flagged EOL, here this is the lack of GPU that pushed manufacturers to stop production.NVIDIA only ships small volumes, not large enough to maintain production lines. There is no official reason for such status, maybe NVIDIA wishes to move faster to Fermi, but it still needs a bit of time, and the risk is rather high as the new Radeon HD 5750 and 5770 are far better than the current NVIDIA models, but they also share with them a limited availability. It is unclear if such strategy from NVIDIA would also affect the GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition, but the higher price tag and the limited compatibility to only recent Mac Pro models should not be a real problem as it has never been a mass product.
