You know, AMD is to be blamed for this shit from nV! Had they release a proper card, nV would have showed G100 already, and maybe even had it released. Instead, they have no reason to even mention it, they just put that crap.

this sucks.
those dual gpu cards suck. may be really fast but what good is that if some games will give you the same or even lower performance than single cards.
and what good is the 9800 gtx and gt if the only real difference between the 8800 g92 cards is the 3-way-sli support which nobody but the enthusiasts with way too much money care about.
bah. the 8800 gt rocked so much but now it's really going downhill.

who knows, the 9800GX2 was supposed to come out in january? So who knows when that thing will really come.
they will probably at least wait for AMD to come up with something that actually threatens their current products. until that day comes there's no real reason for nvidia to hurry up with anything new.
and yeah, this topic was originally about G100, which is actually called GT200 now.
So apparently GT200 was supposed to come out in march, when all we're really getting now is more G9x stuff.
maybe they just felt like they didn't need to do any better considering amd can't put up a real fight for now.

Yea, that's what I read somewhere as well, but as Surray said I also think that it will get pushed back due to marketing and what have you. |

what a huge disappointment. I mean... everyone saw it coming, but it still sucks.
apparently it's really just as fast as a simple OC 8800 GTS and the 8800 Ultra and GTX may even be faster in some cases where high memory bandwidth is important.
why do they take 8800 cards and call them 9800? That's just ridiculous, and misleading for people who don't know that it's not any faster.
bah

GT200 to launch in Q3
| Quote: | We learned that Nvidia's big 65nm chip is going to launch in Q3 or possibly even later. Nvidia is about to launch the Geforce 9800 GX2, its dual chip G92GTS card, and after that it plans to launch a product codenamed GT200.
Someone called this card the D10E (Desktop 10th generation Enthusiast) and it is likely that Nvidia might brand this product as Geforce 10.
The earliest we believe that Nvidia can launch its GT200 / G100 / D10E is in late Q3, but we wouldn't be surprised if it slips to early Q4 2008. |
SOURCE
And
| Quote: | VR-Zone's report doesn't go into much detail about the GT200, but Fudzilla suggests the forthcoming GPU is on track for a launch in the third quarter. The GT200 will be Nvidia's 10th-generation enthusiast product, and it may very well be part of a new GeForce 10 lineup. Don't expect shiny GeForce 10s to give Radeon HD 4000s a run for their money too soon, though; Fudzilla says the GT200 is actually scheduled for the latter part of the third quarter, and that it's likely to slip into the early fourth quarter.

Better late then never hey

I have my crossfire 3870s which are more than sufficient for the time being, however, if something insanely good comes out, I can definitely see this being purchased.

Why? ATI used to have great great times, when nV were shit (anyone remember the FX series?)... If both competitors are good, that means lower prices and better products/drivers. I'm all for it. |

AMD's killer card is coming | Quote: | | AMD has recently notified its partners that the company expects its share in the discrete graphics card market to rise after its next generation RV770 GPU shows up in the end of the second quarter, growing from the current 35% to reach 50% by the end of this year, according to sources at graphics card makers. |

not gonna perform noticeably better than a 8800 GTS.
According to fudzilla the price will be only 299-349$ so I guess it's ok.

it doesn`t deserve a higher number infront of the cards name. It`s just a faster 8800 gts.
Guess we`ll have to wait till autumn for a new chip generation.

Previews said the 8800 Ultra outperforms it. I'm certainly not convinced. |

Nvidia's 55nm parts to launch in June
| Quote: | D10U and probably more
Nvidia should have its 55nm chips ready in Q2, and this time we got an even more precise date than just a quarter. When a company say it launches something in Q2, we always hope for early Q2; but in reality it always comes at the end of the quarter.
Nvidia won't make an exception, as its 55nm parts should launch around June time, which is the last month of the quarter. As of today, Nvidia's 55nm chip looks like an advanced and die shrunk version of its well-known G92 chip, but we are still missing many details about it.
At least Nvidia can show the world that it can do it, but we won’t miss the chance to remind you that this will occur more than six months after ATI managed to launch its first 55nm chip. In the meantime, all ATI chips are 55nm, while Nvidia is still at 65nm. |
