Tomshardware had something about this hardware coming out on the 15th.
Something new about new NVIDIA Gpus? Two weeks to launch day and absolutely no info about new GPUs. Seems little strange or maybe NVIDIA has canceled it`s 55nm part of GT200?
Silence before the tornado eh ?
Nope ;)Quote:

How do you know that if there is ANY info about it? I remember before GT200 launch or even before G92 launch there were some leaks about performance (mainly 3D marks but still...)or something else. Now there is completely nothing about it - how many Shaders, what clocks, what price, die size.Quote:

PS. I wonder if there will be only GT200B launch or maybe NVIDIA will launch GT206 too (GTX260 successor according ELSA slides) and maybe this GPU will be a worthy successor of G92:):rolleyes:
i hope that the 55nm GT200 launch very soon. i need new hardware :D
Well I can't say much more than that and that 4870x2 is in big trouble :PQuote:

Who cares about HD4870x2?:DQuote:

I hope NVIDIA isn`t going to release another Extreme Highend GPU to beat HD4870X2 only:(
strikes me as odd that the first place i would see a new card is on a e-tailer. But GTX 350?
So we are talking not only 55nm but a GX2 monster. I'm still skeptical. I'd definitely have to upgrade my power supply and that would hurt. Also no practical water cooling since the GX2 water blocks cost half the MSRP of the cards. Although the X2 cards are also expensive to water cool. But there is at least some alternative with dual discrete blocks. Not so with the back-to-back GX2 layout. What would be great is if Nvidia could switch to a dual GPU single PCB solution like AMD.
I think its the big bang drivers coming, not a new gpu.
lol Big bang drivers. Those drivers will probably make your DDR3 transform into DDR5. Maybe some voodoo magic in it and the GPU duplicates itself... :ROTF:
That would not be great. Most nVidia users are using nVidia cards because they want the performance all on one GPU. Right now nVidia has the best single GPU solution out there. I wouldn't see any reason at all for them to go to that double cheesburger arrangement again. I will never buy a dual GPU card. Not ever. It was a mistake going down that road to begin with.Quote:

No it won't grow new RAM, or a GPU, but it does give better performance.Quote:

GX2 monster this month ? Nowhere to be seen, and maybe...never in 2008.
I haven't heard any update regarding the "GT200b" ( notice the quotes, they're there for a reason :p: ) recently, and thus I don't expect a launch anytime soon.
Come on nVIDIA, move your butt.
I'd be satisfied with a new beast from AMD.
I just want something better than the GTX 280 and the HD4870X2, be it a Radeon or a GeForce I don't care, I'm just a new hardware excitement whore and I want it now God damn it :D :(
Its good you have already tested these drivers and come up with these conclusions. Could you please should me actual benchmark numbers?Quote:

Hmm you are saying you don`t expect that GT200b would be released soon. So what will be released 22 Oct. this year? Some guy on NvNews have said refresh of GT200 will be here 22 Oct.. If it`s not GT200b so what it is supposed to be?Quote:

I haven't heard of a hardware release for this month ( it's October now, isn't it ? :p: ).
Only thing approaching to my knowledge is software based ( drivers :p: )
please no more mystery games again :shrug:Quote:
