G92 is due 11/12 - but is it 256-bit mid-range/mainstream?

Intel? :p:

hopefully the rv670 will be a big success not only for ati, but if it's at the same price range the x1950pro's at (being as low as $130), you'd be a dumbass not to buy it for a cheap upgrade

r u serious? :rolleyes:
Now it's 130, but it wasnt launched at that price, :rolleyes:

I love how Nvidia makes an official statement about a release date but a speculation thread still manages to rear its ugly head. We need an "XtremelyOblivious" forum section where we can forward these threads to.

Looks like i'm going to keep using my 7900 for a while :)

Edit:
By that I mean; I'm not going for a 8800gts now that i know this .

I don't disagree with you, but that statement can easily mean a "8850 GT" with dx10.1 gddr4 and 65 nm. It would be a high end card (like the 7950 was), and with new memory, features and mfg process, could be considered new generation in marketing speak.

Welp, Digitimes throws their hat in on this one corroborating HKEPC's article:

No real price drops... this G92, aka 256bit, seems more like a replacement.
Maybe a price drop to clear out the extra inventory.

Ah, it's already been put to vote if we should ban the news from the INQ...and well you can tell how that ended.

At least all the news from them is labeled with a µ. But some people still can't read and get all caught up in the hype and FUD.

Fud is by far worse than le Inq. At least TheInq has connections in the industry and some of their reportings turn out true...
