Same here. If it gets too confusing then I might just spring for an 8800GT when it comes out because I will KNOW that I am getting the G92 with that (and whatever minor tweaks that will come with that, besides I like going midrange part and then trying to overclock the pants off of it).Quote:

I wish my 6600GT didnt die on me, and I was still running it so I could afford a 2900Pro or RV670 or the new GTS or something.... :(Quote:

As sure as we're posting here, some Jerk will blur the lines and try to sale old as new. PowerColor comes to mind right off the bat while trying to sell 9800 128bit as the 256bit version. Hell, I wish I'd have saved a screen capture of the guys trying to sell Xtreme Audio as an Xtreme Music.
NVidia support 8xMSAA in hardware.Quote:

If microsoft classified it as a DX10 part, then there's not a single feature of DX10 that the card doesn't support. Plain and simple.
Anything else I can straighten out for you? :shrug:
With the lower memory interface, 256 vs. 320....will that make a huge difference?, or will the increased 128SP make up for that?
Dosent the lower memory interface mean lower performance?
Depends on the ram speed. If the ram speed is high enough, they can balance out the drop down to 256bit. After all, 320bit to 256bit isn't nearly as drastic as 512bit to 256bit. 2 ghz ram will give it around the same bandwidth with a 256bit interface.Quote:

This card actually has the potention to beast, depending on how well 65nm overclocks, and their choice of ram chips.
looks like waiting for the 65nm GTS is a far better plan than getting a current 320/640 version, then..
depends on how long I can live with an X300SE, I guess.
Any idea when this new gts will be released ?
October 30, 8800GT
November 19, 8800GTS 65nm
November 15, AMD RV670 55nm
Hope they decide to name it something different. I'm personally rooting for it to be called "Super Double Mega Triple but not Quite Ultra 8800GTS" but I guess "8900gt" would be a bit easier on the tongue.
iwant to see how much cooler they will run ... maybe we can once again run sli under water with a cpu on one triple rad ...
who wants to buy my 7900gs?
AAhhh no one:ROTF:Quote:

Looking for a 300-350 price range right guys?
Is there going to be a new G92 based Ultra?
Just wondering when ..... if it does come out in time, then I can Step Up :)
This is so confusing. I give up. I'm just going to wait for this stuff to hit shelves, take a look at the model numbers, then check out the specs, and see how everything turned out.
It doesn't make much sense.
It's Nvidia. It typically doesn't.Quote:
