I dunno. So far there is no prototype chip for the kepler. That would indicate the chances of a new card in 6 months is near zero. It also just recently taped out.
From chatting with someone in the know, it can take a signifigant amount of time from tapeout > prototype, and then the prototype has to be validated. And then its generally 6 months after the validated prototype that cards are released.
How fast Kepler will be out depends a large part if Nvidia orders risk wafers or not (like they did with Fermi). Risk wafers can nock of 3 month of development time. But even with Risk wafers: A perfect, no respin tapeout that have never happened in history, it would take 3 month before Nvidia can deliver. With 1 respin we are in 6 month range.
BTW. We are seeing an Apple effect here. Apple will refresh its computer line in April. Nvidia is desperate to deliver silicon to Apple. Therefore Nvidia have prioritized the mid range GPUs. According to another website Nvidia had test silicon of these chips in September and will release the GPUs in late Q1.
