Nvidia D8E (9800/8900) pushed till 2008? [FUD WARNING]

[NH|Delph1]

Although I like to think AMD and ATI still keep some things to do their own way....

After recent releases from AMD, I think maybe that trip to the bar would be in complete silence, or maybe we talk to our friend, but they sit there and stare at us blankly.

All companies have secrets

Right now a fellow editor of mine is doing some historical on ancient video cards. My contact ATI got really excited was about to start digging for architectural information and all kinds of stuff, when all we needed was some superficial performance figures for some charts.

I'm just saying that ATI has a very open approach in general, while NVIDIA is more of the tight-lipped kind. There are many more companies of both kinds.

Might as well keep all the Fuad in one place, so as not to pollute the News section any further: [D8E GX2?]

So now he's contradicted both claims that BenchZowner made (November 2007 release, single PCB). It'd be great if there was some news from somewhere that we could trust...

Not sure I get it... You only wanted to know where they said that... not when. I still think your Mom owes me a visit!

She will do no such thing!!

Can you trust me or Metro? If BenchZowner or whoever says that there will be a new high-end card in Q4 to dethrone the 8800 Ultra, then he is wrong.

I'm just hoping against all hopes because my next build hinges on the release of this next gen

I suppose it'll be 2008 then.

BenchZowner actually said there won't be a new high-end card for 2007, and I concur.

1. NVIDIA promised double precision floating point in the end of 2007 to the developers.
2. NVIDIA needs new high-end part with lower power consumption (read single slot cards) so it can revive SLI and Quad-SLI interest.
3. NVIDIA needs DX10.1 compliant chips and GDDR4.
4. NVIDIA would f*ck up ATI completely if they manage to release another high-end chip

Based on that, I believe that there will be new high-end part this year.

We already have enough low end parts and they never start with releasing low end. High-end comes out first. Furthermore, if they launch in the same time frame as Intel (Harpertown in November) AMD will be between a rock and a hard place with no answer on both fronts and their shares would go down.
