A representative for NVIDIA would comment that the performance increase between GeForce 9600 and GeForce 8600 is "almost double."

That isn't saying much at all. It will probably still end up trailing the current 8800GT in many games and will have to be priced substantially lower.

Nice. Now they just need to release the 9800GX2's. ;P

looks like two 8800GTS (G92) shoved together....
256SP (128/GPU), 1GB RAM (512/GPU), 2 65nm GPUs.... only 30% faster than the 8800 Ultra....

Eh, I want a high end card but couldn't care less about an SLI based model. Although it's interesting that they are calling it a 9800. This along with the fact that the 9600 does not support DX10.1 suggests that the 9 series will consist of G92 derivatives and have no architectural changes. It looks like Nvidia is following AMD and giving these cards a new gen name for no reason.![]()

Just use some common sense. Double the performance of the 8600, but no DX10 support would be very foolish of Nvidia.
I'll be looking like a hawk at the new cards coming out.
Can they even push single cores any more? Just how the CPU has moved to multi-cores, I see the GPU making the same push.

Stream processors are roughly equivalent to cores. GPU's are already massively parallel.
