Nvidia is going dual crazy i tell you...
:shakes: How many times will they release the same bloody thing. It seems we get a new G92 card every month now.
I'm guessing it will be called something like 9850GX2
amd might not have the performance crown, but stunts like that from nvidia make amd cards much more attractive.
before q3? so thats like a few weeks?
I think it would be REALLY stupid to buy this card instead of waiting for GT200. This is just another G92-like card, GT200 is gonna be more different.
Just to clarify, the chip FUD calls D10U-30 here is the same chip VR-Zone and Expreview are calling GT200.
There is some ambiguity among industry sources at the moment.

Looks like Nvidias tactic of releasing so many cards and code names that they confuse people enough to hide the real next gen card seems to be working (Though I wonder by now if that even exists).
Smake and mirrors...
Whats this, the 9801GX2?
Is this the same naming scheme that gave us 4 different 8800GTS cards, then a 9800GTX that was an overclocked version of the above? :-p
What Nvidia is doing is called market saturation. With so many cards in so many price-points they give the consumers no choice other than to consider an Nvidia product when looking for a new GPU. While you guys may not like it, from a business perspective they are in a position that most other companies only dream of.
How so?
I'm not gonna to take notice until proper info is out instead of relying on FUD.
But if this is true and this is a dual-card... it is estentially going to be 2x9800GTX something the GX2 should really be already. Does smell alot like 7series so they better bloody have a good card that they are developing all this time to for the 10,000 series or equivilant.
There is a market gap for them to fit a dual 9800gtx card in, well in UK markets. 8800GTX/Ultra was in the top £400->low/mid £500, and with the 9800GX2 @ £390ish then its quite probably this article could prove true.
If You don't know already, The 9800GX2 is 2x9800GTX, Look up the revisions on the chips, The 9800GX2 actually has a Higher revised GPUs on it.
So I bet they will be a 9850GTX and a 9850GX2, then the GT200 will be 9900GTX, 9900GX2, and I bet they will make a Revision of the GT200 too, So a 9950GTX, 9950GX2
OMG 999 = 666, we'll gonna die :rofl: :ROTF: :rofl:
lets count:
3850, 3870 and 3870x2, thats 4 in total (3850 comes with 256 or 512 MB)
thats 4 cards from 1 chip.
nvidia has 8800 GTS 320, 512, 640, 8800 GS (256, 512, 1024), 8800 GT (256, 512, 1024) 8800 GTX, 8800 Ultra, 9600, 9800 GTX, 9800GX2
thats 14 cards from 3 chips (G80, G92, G94? (whatever 9600 is)).
excluded 2400 - 3600 and 7100 - 8600 to keep list reasonable.
It Might be 3 chips from Nvidia, but the Revisions of the chips really make the Card, G80 is mainly the 8800GTX/8800Ultra now days, G92 is 8800GTS 512MB, 8800GT,9800GX2, 9800GTX, 9800GT. 8800GS and 9600GT I'm not sure what they are.
But the Revision scale for Nvidia goes like this I do believe
8800GT -> 8800GTS -> 9800GTX -> 9800GX2 -> 9800GT
8800GTX -> 8800Ultra
8800GS -> 9600GT or whatever, like i said I'm not sure what the 88GS or the 96GT is.
The 9600 GT is based on the G94 chip, but I don't know what the 8800 GS is based on.
I won't really mind all these cards coming out if Nv was more like Intel and told use what was coming out when so at least we could plan stuff. All this maybe it's coming out ... maybe it's not ... is just crap.
