Today I'm curious too ... Behold we started to pack our GTX200 Cards with a CD WITH 180.42 Drivers ... Big Bang my pants ...
I wonder what's this going to be ... now It's a Cat in a Bag ! :hehe: or glued GTX260 ? Oh please ... announce it nVidia , you can do it !
Hardware.fr got a GT200b chip in their hands.
Apparently, it's pin-to-pin compatible with the GT200.
473 mm˛ (22x21.5)
:rolleyes:Quote:

Could it be GT200 @ 55nm ? Maybe.... maybe not.
Don't raise your hopes though...
It has now been 63 days that the 4870x2 has ruled the market as the king of video cards.
......ok....Quote:

I expect nothing from nV. The whoop-ass master for opening cans talks too much, but does so little.Quote:
You expect nVida to make some press conference, or whatever at 3AM? : E
If the card was supposed to be released today it should have been on the shelves already and all the reputable sites should have their reviews done and posted.
well, we are all waiting... :bounces:
Now it's 9:00 in New York. Another can of whoop ass?
Badboy CEO Jen-Hsun Huang must be in the gym right now getting ready for the big day.

in my experience when Nv is releasing something it shows up on their site between 9am EST and 11am EST but as for today I dont expect a card to be released as when a card is released their is usually more info on it some say dual gpu some say 55nm gtx 280 some say a potatoe with a rocket pack on it, who knows
AFAIK no GT200b coming today. Tomorrow they will launch v180.42 beta drivers (big bang 2).
Hey Sampsa :) Do you know if theres a rough timeline for new hardware? :)
i dont think something is getting launched today...
some asian guys always get their hands on the hardware and post it weeks (at least days) before launch, at least the specs and pre-benchies:cool:
is there a press conference today, anyway?
i dont think nvidia would launch something like this hushhush
Haha YHBT.
Again...
we're deep in this thread, so could anyone remind us what started this expectation that 55nm GT200 will be out today, or this year for that matter?
oh, there was a good chance of it coming out in q4 (a few months ago), but there were some "unexpected problems"
the october 22 date popped up somewhere in the middle of the thread... i think it was that czech guy, dont remember his name
OBR :p: is his name clonez.
And... like I said some posts ago... there's no hardware to be launched today :D
And surely not this month at all.
Big bugs II coming up.
modify date in thread title? :yawn:...close thread?
I have no idea what`s wrong with NVIDIA. Maybe there is no GT200@55nm? No leaks, no benchmarks preview, no die shot, no specs. Simply NOTHING confirmed. Maybe NVIDIA has some problems with 55nm version of GT200 like ATI had with 80nm r600? Or maybe it wants to skip 55nm and go straight to 40nm next year? I don`t know but there are some strange moves from NVIDIA because it needs something new to fight with Rv770. No visibly faster but surely cheaper. But now? Hmm still waiting?
but Nvidia will always answer back. Its Nvidia come on now have faith. Only a matter of days now.Quote:

I wonder how many people waited on this only to loose deals where they could've used rebates and didn't because of this thread.
Post stuff like this when you have at least something to make it believeable. If you don't come forward with an official source it's meaningless.
well as long as people spread his "rumors" he gains money, and thats why he spreads them in the first place. ;)
Dude... that's not right actually.Quote:

What are you expecting ?
Recording a tel conversation or a video recording of a meeting and posting it in public ?
There are two kinds of people...
People who are attention whores, who'd post anything just to get some attention or hits ( like some sites that I'm not going to mention now ).
And... people who have sources and get some real info, and sometimes leak some info because of their excitement and "will" or "love/passion" on helping the PC enthusiasts, etc.
I can easily name some people that are trustworthy and have brought some real info in the past and of course didn't provide what you call "proof" back then.
no offense,
