Doesn't make any sense to launch another high-end single gpu so soon. With GTX295, the GT300 would be kind of useless.. Especially in that timeframe.
Then again, nVidia already made that mistake, with GTX280..
After market cooling solutions is almost a no go with GX2 design, seems like a really good reason to prefer the AMD's approach to me and nothing delusional at all :shrug:Quote:

It's a moving target though since on-die bandwidth and processing needs will continue to outstrip any sort of inter-die communication or data-sharing approach.
dont know if anyone saw this yet from expreview

shows some real potential
Tell me something I dont know.. :up:Quote:

It doesn't necessarily speed anything up when compared to a game with proper CF profile support where transfers are already minimal.
Deanz, that link doesnt work
Let's hope sooooo...Quote:

and what does that mean 'limited numbers'
Limited websites, hand picked i assume...people they trust under NDA etc.
Review will be only on few magazines ... wait for tommorow
With Nvidia games list.Quote:

hmmm so sites that reviewed nvidias favourite 5 games will recieve these new card :ROTF: i already see guru :DQuote:

Will be out for sale on the fisrst day of CES and the MSRP will be around 500€
im guessing the cards will be well overpriced worth the money ? hmmmmm i will hold tight think its guna be a stormy ride this one lol
Like AMD doesn't do that, oh wait. :rolleyes:Quote:

Looks good :yepp:
PRJ
Any reliable source for this? 500€ sounds about what I would expect though, like $599 in USD MSRP I would guess. Of course europe's high taxes and low availability at launch will probably push them at least to 550 EUR, but let's just hope NV won't pull another 8800 Ultra as far as price and availability goes. :p:Quote:
