GeForce 9900 GTX & GTS Slated For July Launch

People are saying its both a dissapointment and improvement. Obviously, it's the fastest single GPU out there, but it still won't conquer the elusive Crysis 2560x1600 without multiple GPU's so take it for what its worth. Also, I'm hearing rumors now that in some games especially towards lower reses, the gap between say a GX2 and GTX280 won't be that big whereas at high reses (1920x1200+) you'll see it really shine. Somewhat makes sense, since those are some ridiculous specs and so the card might be well future-proofed. And that's not a bad thing - having > GX2 performance in a single GPU is quite amazing. The bigger issue to me is whether the cost and power usage is worth the performance vs. other alternatives, which there aren't many at my resolution.

Obviously it makes sense: besides Crysis, no game out there is really so demanding that the G80 GTX/Ultra and G92's cant handle at 1600x1200 and lower and the complete power of the GTX280 may not even be used at medium-range reses and lower
