GeForce 9900 GTX & GTS Slated For July Launch

[mascaras]

Yep I always thought that about the card (if you mean 9800GX2) since launch as I was pretty much expecting this, no optimized drivers that work properly and only a few months life. I don't have driver probs and are introduced at end of current gen's life to desperately "fool" some users not being able to wait a lil longer. I don't think NVIDIA should even bother releasing GX2 cards.

sory , but i cant agree with this :

- no optimized drivers that work .

- driver probs.

did you ever tested a 9800GX2?

i have a GX2 for 2 months now , and i never had driver problems , best card i ever tested !


btw: last rumors even said Nvidia plans to release a new revision of 9800GX2

NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 Cards to Get New GPUs?

NVIDIA was reported today to plan on changing the G92-450 GPUs found on current GeForce 9800 GX2 cards with an updated G92-451 parts. However, the transition will be almost invisible as the G92-451 is pin to pin compatible to G92-450. Cards won't need even an updated BIOS. The reason for this change is due to improved manufacturing yields and ensured continuity of NVTTM production supply. That's also the part where previous reports of NVIDIA shortening the life-span of GeForce 9800 GX2 become somewhat doubtful.

Expensive , yes i agree (at launch time) , now the prices are lower ( here in PT already went from 550€ to 450€) and i think the price maybe go down with the GT200 release , but i cant agree with driver problems and no optimized drivers !
