It's looking increasingly unlikely. :(

Kyle at HardForums said dont expect a new high end until next year
The new high ends are not coming till Feb/March 2008.
You can choose to believe kyle or someone from xs and no one will offer concrete proof because what you hear from inside sources cannot be referenced.
Take that as you wish.

any rumor on the dual RV670 or dual G92??
EDIT: Several swedish sites has already Club3D 8800GT 512MB listed and lowest price is 1 884,00 kr or ~$292 USD incl VAT or 1,507.20 SEK / ~$233 USD excluding VAT. Prices will prolly go down yet, they're usually a bit high before launch especially in Sweden. :p:Quote:

continues too look more and more apealing, mabey its time to get read of my 7900's
Knightwolf, a single 8800GT 512mb, when OCed, has enough power for there to be a performance increase over two 7900s.

...rv670...:yawn:?:eh: :wasntme:
You do realise that a faster cpu can skew the results a fair bit?
I'm not sure where you get those scores from, but I just ran 05-3dmark with my 8800gts 320 and it came out to 16,6k
So, my question is.
With the 256bit bus compared to the 320bit bus on the older model, how will the newer ones perform?
Is the gt slower than the older 8800gts and how much faster is the newer 8800gts than the old?
I'm really wondering if I should sell my card or if it doesn't matter at all at this point
I realy like those G92 pictures... my 6800Ultra Wather Block from Innovatek will still fit on G92... that's COOL ...Now I'm Realy thinking on a G92 with 512 memory ... bicouse I got the BLOCK B-)

Looks from what I have seen, the gt is going after the 2950 pro but will not be faster than the 8800gts.
The new 8800gts will be faster the older 8800gts and has 640megs of memory, but is priced around $310+
still $50-60 more than an 8800gts 320.
Does this sound correct?
sounds correct... best thing to do is probably wait and see as usual.

I want to know if this is supposed to be a mid range card then what's the high end like?
umm dont you mean mark 05? unless your GTS was in the 750+core range you cant get that type of score. with a healthy oc on the cpu too boot.
why are these reviews showing mark 05 anyway? who cares about 05, use 2006.
anyway i think the next high end part well may be a GX2 config, seeing how nvidia has gone to the 65nm gpu. it could very well work this time, unlike the 7900GX2. Or we may see a whole new deal
new 8800GTS FTW
NO!!!
the new 8800GTS has 512mb (Not 640mb) and 256-bit

seeing the 3dmark results posted in this thread , both 8800GT and new 8800GTS are faster than the actual 8800GTS 320mb/640mb
new 8800GTS maybe faster than 8800GTX ............
you Got 16.6K with 8800GTS 320mb in 3dMark 2006?????????? , maybe you meant to say 3Dmark 2005
- only have 256-bit but have more Stream processors , 8800GT has 112SP and new 8800GTS has 128SP (same as 8800GTX/Ultra) against the 96SP of 8800GTS 320mb/640mb
- 8800GT also have more shader clock (1500mhz against 1200mhz of 8800GTS ) ---- new 8800GTS probably will have even more (specs not released yet)
- Core/memory clock also higher , 8800GT has 600Mhz core and 1800Mhz memory against the 500mhz/1600mhz of 8800GTS 320mb ----- the new 8800GTS probably will have even more (specs not relelased yet )
- also 8800GT are 65nm and 8800GTS 320mb/640mb are 90nm , so the overclock will be better like we already saw here (8800GT @ 900Mhz) while the average 8800GTS Overclok its around 650mhz - 680mhz .
---8800GTS ("old") --------------------------8800GT ----------------------- 8800GTS (New) ----
---90nm --------------------------------------- 65nm ------------------------------- 65nm ---
---96 Stream processors ---------------------112 Stream processors --------------- 128 Stream Processors---
---320Mb/640MB -------------------------------256Mb/512mb ------------------------ 512MB---
---320-bit --------------------------------------256-bit ------------------------------- 256-bit---

---1600Mhz memory -------------------------1800mhz memory ----------------------- ???????? ---
---1200mhz shader clock --------------------1500mhz shader clock ------------------- ???????? ---
----- 8800GTX
----- 90nm
----- 128 Stream processors
----- 768mb
----- 384-bit
----- 575Mhz core
----- 1800Mhz memory
----- 1350mhz shader clock
NO , it´s faster
BTW: the 3dmark 2006 scores you see in this thread of 8800GT its with AA 4x & AF enable

Oops, didn't mean to write 06-3dmark.
I was doing a comparison to the 05 scores that someone posted.
http://service.futuremark.com/orb/re...0&UID=11587944
I cannot replicated the 06 scores because I don't have a full copy of 06 3dmark.
For those that ask why people use 05-3dmark, because it's more of a gpu benchmark since it relies less on the cpu for calculations.
06 is an overall benchmark.
This is at default stock 8800gts no oc.
x3210 cpu oc to 2.85 on asus p5n-e sli, 1066 crucial ballistix
Stock on this 8800 I think is 560mhz-gpus, 850mhz-memory
I was in the 17's with my evga 680i, since the oc was at 3.5, but the board was so unstable and I had to rma it a handful of times, that I downgraded to a more stable but less powerful board.
Here is the real issue though.
Nvidia is selling the 8800s at a very good pace and gtx models as well.
Why would they bite their own nose by releasing a cheaper model that performs better than an 8800gtx which costs 2x as much and yet have the newer gtx come out next year.
It doesn't make any sense..
They in a sense would be killing off the gtx model, putting the ultra model in bad spot being $500+ and losing customers from the 8600 gts models... All this from the profit of $199 boards?
Thats like saying mercedes just came out with a car thats much better than their 80k model and they are pricing it at 45k
Also, why are all these benchmarks from taiwan or china.. why hasn't one vendor here been able to produce real benchmarks?
Everyday these specs and numbers are changing, meanwhile tomshardware is doing reviews on beer water-cooling for god sakes!
Also, last but not least, these benchmarks mean jack squat unless you are using an fps benchmark in games.
The 06-3dmark that most people own will not let you bench with any effects, anti-aliasing, etc.
Thats why the 2900's do so well in 06-3dmark, yet when it comes to gaming, they hit the sh*tter when all the effects are on.
What they need is a benchmark that has 2 min scenes from about 5-6 games all combined into one.
Depending on when the new 8800gts comes out, I might just use my step-up on that. I play on 1280x1024, so the memory isn't really a concern for me. More stream processors and an improved manufacturing process (greater o/c ability) are what intrigue me.
