Next Nvidia card is D10U-30 comes before GT200

[largon]

nvidia has 8800 GTS 320, 512, 640, 8800 GS (256, 512, 1024), 8800 GT (256, 512, 1024) 8800 GTX, 8800 Ultra, 9600, 9800 GTX, 9800GX2

Huh?
8800GTS G80 320MB & 640Mb <- both are discontinued
8800GTS 512MB
8800GS 384MB
8800GT 512MB
8800GTX 768MB
8800Ultra 768MB <- discontinued
9600GT 512MB
9800GTX 512MB
9800GX2 2&#215;512MB

There's only 1 type of reference cards of 8800GS and GT, 384MB and 512MB respectively. So there's really only 7 different cards, not 14.

discontinued? they are still for sale at every major online shop in pretty big quantities.

[Leeghoofd]

What Nvidia is doing is called market saturation. With so many cards in so many price-points they give the consumers no choice other than to consider an Nvidia product when looking for a new GPU. While you guys may not like it, from a business perspective they are in a position that most other companies only dream of.

Conmpletely agree, told this a zillion times too, marketing wise TOP, confusion TOP too lol... luckily for ATI they didn't call their cards 3870GTX

Do you mean that when nVIDIA discontinues a product they should recall whole remaining stock? If we look at European etailers stocks of G80 based cards we can see there's no new stuff coming from manufacturers anymore. Some few brands are offered anymore in quantities.

[Gunslinger]

How many times will they release the same bloody thing. It seems we get a new G92 card every month now.

As long as we suckers keep buying them.

[DeathReborn]

The 9600 GT is based on the G94 chip, but I don't know what the 8800 GS is based on.

G92-150

discontinued? they are still for sale at every major online shop in pretty big quantities.

2900GT, 2900 Pro, 2900XT 512MB & 2900XT 1024MB are also still available for sale but are all discontinued.

Right now they continue to manufacture (though may not be released yet) the following, excluding the 8400, 8500, 8600, 9500, 2400, 2600, 34xx & 3650.

Nvidia
8800GS (renaming it to 9600GSO apparently)
9600GT
8800GT
8800GTS (512MB)
9800GTS
9800GTX
9800GX2

Lowest Bus Width: 192bit

AMD
3690
3830
3850
3870
3850X2
3870X2

Lowest Bus Width: 128bit

AMD also has the RV670 A12 revision chips which may bring a PE card. So it's 7 for nVidia & 6 for AMD. If you want to cover VRAM then you have to consider GDDR4 as a seperate card to the GDDR3 versions.

yea, but also the 8800gtx and 8800gts 512mb are essentially totally unnecessary now that the 9800gtx is here, and you can say the same of the 8800gs because of the 9600gt.
the only relevant nvidia cards in today's market are:
8800gt 512MB
9600GT 512MB
9800GTX 512MB
9800GX2 2&#215;512MB

[Vargher Warg]

So? is the GT200, the next big step (like 8800GTX was) and what we all have been waiting for?

Sorry for beeing lazy, and not having researched on this yet! but now I'm a little bit confused with all these code-names?

[Natalia]

With a brand new name tag

Don't forget that all new product names are supposed to be convoluted and confusing too... tricks you into buying things.

[Decami]

or....it could be FUD totally and utterly confused not understanding that the D10U-30 is actually the GT200 and the mem speculation is just that, speculation. I really dont see Nvidia releasing another array of cards on top of the 9800's then releasing the new GT200 end of the year sometime. Thats 3 generations in 1 year, or reworked gen's should I say G92-G92 rework-G92 rework-GT200 in 1 year, i dought this speculation of FUD highly. Who knows, it may happen, but it just doesnt seem likely at all.

Maybe the gddr3 cards they are talking about is a new mid-low range area, i dont know, we will see I guess.

[Dragy2k]

nvidia = fail

Supposedly.

[OBR]

before launch 9800 GX2 Nvidia announced better improved version of that dual monster ... will be in the same construction but small 55nm G92 chips and only one power connector ... this is maybe what about talking Fuddzilla

Our NVIDIA GPU EOL Rumors post got some people talking yesterday and asking questions, so we wanted to help out with some more specific answers.

We mentioned that the GeForce 8800 GT will be renamed the “9800 GT” gaining some Hybrid SLI features. Along with that, you will see the GeForce 9800 GT represent a die shrink to 55nm as well. It seems as though the 55nm changes will be running and will possibly stretch across both model numbers. Yes, smaller, cooler GT cards which is certainly a good thing. It is also being rumored that the 9800 GTS will be a 55nm part as well.

9900 GTX and 9900 GTS are rumored to be brand new parts, not re-spins of current GPUs, but this is far from being confirmed through multiple sources. I am expecting to see these parts return to $450+ levels depending on what we see AMD do with R700.

It is still just a bit too early for solid details but we will of course pass along what we can when we can.

[RPGWiZaRD]

OK so there's a possibility we see the usual die shrinked midrange cards just b4 the new series is launched. So 9900 series would be GT200 I take it. Hopefully they'll be at least as good as 7900 series was compared to 7800. But I hope NVIDIA moves along after this series and brings something new instead of depending on the G80 arch. Currently GPU market is as stagnated as it never has been before.

OMFG!! So fail, this is completely retarded, do they expect us to run out and buy a new card (that is ironically called the same thing) every 2 months for their stupid die shrinks. Now if we could send our "original" 8800GT's back to nvidia for a new core, then this would sound slightly comprehensible, but its not, I cant even fathom that they are actually even doing this. The messed up thing is every time I wanna buy it too, but im not going to. I'm not buying another card until its a proper newly architectured card.

We all feel your pain man, we all feel your pain.

hahahah yeah

[Vapor]

nVidia is in a unique position...not many companies are even capable of doing this because of stiff competition. nV doesn't really have much coming from ATi at the high end. From a business point of view, I'm not upset with nV. But the XSer in my definitely wants noticeably more powerful cards available rather than just slight upgrades.

[DRCRAWFISH]

If you're gonna count all the discontinued and G80 cards may as well count 2900 ATI series

[LordEC911]

If You don't know already, The 9800GX2 is 2x9800GTX, Look up the revisions on the chips, The 9800GX2 actually has a Higher revised GPUs on it.

So I bet they will be a 9850GTX and a 9850GX2, then the GT200 will be 9900GTX, 9900GX2, and I bet they will make a Revision of the GT200 too, So a 9950GTX, 9950GX2

OMG 999 = 666, we'll gonna die

Since no one else corrected you, I guess I will...
Those numbers are NOT different revisions/respins but are simply different bins.

While they might signify a "better" core it doesn't mean it is the overall "best" core. It could be a specific bin that has the lowest temps with the stock volts and stock clocks, or it could be something completely different.

[STEvil]

I think the 3dfx virus is finally taking over nVidia.

[Vryada]

Well, it’s natural for us to expect enormous improvements after 16 months, and it’s natural too for nv to squeeze the current architecture to it’s max.

Don’t forget that this is business and every new core design implies big investments – investments that every company wishes to avoid if possible.

[superbowtie]

haha NVIDIA is so gunning for the twelve year olds.

But mom!! Jimmy has a 9800 gt and I’ve just got a 8800 gt. His plays so much faster then mine!


Honestly I hope and pray that larabee comes out and kicks major NV butt. last product I bought from them was a 6800 gt. a few r700s will probably make their way to my home too.

[Vargher Warg]

Supposedly.

Thanks mate!
