If True my step up program will be perfect :D
9800gts is a pretty good value, but i think alot of ppl will be waiting for this instead
Computex is in June ...
9800GTS seems to be o slower and more expensive 8800GTS-512, so theres absolut no value.
Doubtful they will get it moving that fast. I'd guess that's an internal target date. If it would have been ready that fast there would be little need to have upgraded to the 9800 GTX.
The R700 probably would be ready by then which is why these "leaks" happen, mostly because AMD has a lot to regain and has been working quite a while on the R700.
So R700 and GT200 will be very close then? :p:Quote:

That's why I just bought an 8800GTS-512 for £165. Should do me well till these new cards arrive later in the year..........I hope!Quote:

Honestly, gforce 9 seems to have just about nothing of value in my opinion except for the 9600gt which is a true midrange card and the power saving options in the 9800gt- cards
Last I heard, R700 will not be ready for Computex, and I still don't buy the GT200 code-name. What's the "T" for? 200 I can buy when the G80 -> G9x step was so small.Quote:

Yeah, i reckon Nvidia have had loads of time to get their next stuff ready.Quote:

All those features of the 9 series? Do you want to convince yourself this is the right card to buy no matter what? :confused:Quote:

They should use these 3 months to make some wicked drivers. Usually at launch new hardware tends to have crappy drivers. They have 3 more months to get a good driver out... if the R700 will have problems (and it is likely that it will) but the GT200 doesn't.... it'll still sell more even if it's a tad weaker in performance.
Even if GT200 is ready, and R700 for that matter, we're gonna need more than one game to make the most of it! I don't see the rush.
It's definitely finished though........what do you think Crysis was coded on!! :p:
At least SLI Prototypes of the GT200 :)Quote:

Even if this rumor is true, you won't see any of these cards hit retail until probably August just because Nvidia has time to burnnnn....
And inventory. :)Quote:

This is my bet:rofl:
haha this actually made me giggle, and i don't do a whole lot of online reading and gigglingQuote:

huh? i didnt think nvidia made improved cards anymore; just cheaper versions of what they already have :ROTF:
i want the gtX to still be dominating in another 2 years time.
:rolleyes:
