Well, looks like I owe Perkam a cookie. He won the bet pretty soundly. In my defense, I made that claim when everyone still thought they'd have 64 SPs. :p:

Kyle has to make money some how even if its not honest.:eek: :nono:Quote:

The GT loses to an x1650xt in some games. It's a good thing I went the notebook route this upgrade season.
Cybercat will not be getting the following title: "I Make Bets I Can't Win"...seeing as the GTS is still a solid contender as its overclocking potential in SLI is quite impressive.
I will wait for 8900GS and HD2900XL.
Perkam
a graphics card with power gpu and weak memory subsystem
only factory OC will help it to become popular
They are definitely not that much appealing.
8600GT\GTS at newegg.........

thats what dx10 is all about in the first place, right?
-1/4 memory bandwidth.Quote:

RV610/630 will have-

Integrated sound for HDMI
65nm for less power hungry, cooler running cards
The rest has yet to be seen... but so far so good.
These cards will run DX10 like the FX5200 runs DX9 -mark my words :cool:
Still 128bit memory though.Quote:

Only good point on HD 2600 is the 65nm, otherwise it's pretty much as disappointing as the 8600 seems to be.
and that is what holding me from buying the sweet 8800gts 320mbQuote:

And why do we have an Official 8600 Series Review Thread when we never had one for the 8800?
Times are a changin' ;)Quote:

These should be released as 8200's and 8300's. Not 8500 and 8600...Will NVidia come out with an 8700 series with 64 SP's?
1. $200 cards are their biggest market segment.
2. These cards give the least for the money.
3. Profit.
you mean 200vs $250Quote:
