Anyway, I'm hearing a late may-early june release, just thought I'd add that.

BTW, for those who forget..one of the number one reason for high-end shortages in the past has been because companies go for high-end ram near it's initial launch, and stuck with not being able to get said ram. Remember the 6800Ultra and X800XT/PE? Both had countless supply problems because of going for what was the best ram at the time.

Sticking with GDDR3 means ram will be in high supply, meaning NVidia can pump out as many cards as they can make gpus.
Doesn`t seem strange you have said that Benchzowner and you have similar info about GT200 and then he is saying GT200=Q4 release and you are saying it`s about May-June So who is right?

So it means FUdos info about GT200-300 tapeed out is BS? If it`s truth then we should see GT200 in 2-3 months not later.

The second thing - is there ANY possibility (if these specs are true of course) to push 120TMU, 240SP, 32 ROPs and 512-MC in "only" 1B trannies? It`s only about 250M more than G92 which is supposed to have about 2x less TMU, 2x less SP, 2x lessROPs etc. With these rumoured specs (i hope they are really true) GT200 should have about 1.2B trannies at least.


Hmm i can only say i really wait for NVIDIAs "next BIG thing" (worthy G80 successor) and i hope that after crappy GF9 series they will release very powerful GPU (single die).

PS. You have said performance is better than 2xG92 (GF8800GTS) in many cases? But it`s only rumoured performance or someone already has working samples of it and this performance level is what this GPU can really do?
