Nvidia G92 will be a beast

[UF Matt]

Yeah, NVidia doesn't need to release any 9-series card anytime soon from the looks of it. An 8-series refresh would more than do the job.

Oh whoopee, another card that people claim they will wait forever for instead of just buying when they need an upgrade. :/

As said, 8 series refresh is more useful and realistic.

not necessarily ... it depends on what games are out then
--so many potentially great PC games with awesome GFX are in the 'pipeline'

Agreed. I keep thinking this as well, and it finally looks like PC Gaming will have a lot going for it. And to power these beautiful games high powered graphics cards are needed 🙂 Especially when resolutions keep going up - 30" 2560x1600 + G90 would be awesome!

Hope that AMD/ATI will get its act together and finally delivers a truly competitive series of cards powered by their new family of the 65nm chips.
Competition does wonders for the consumers!

Holy crap; the GeForce 9800 will be awesome. I heard that it will have eight pixel pipelines, a 256-bit memory interface, and support for DirectX 9.0, all on an 8x AGP bus! It's supposed to run Doom 3 really well... 😛

I heard that it will have 1024-bit bus, 1024MB of memory, and 1024 shaders, and 1024 SPs. They're going to call it the 9800-quad. you're welcome.

I think they should start a new name instead of 9800.

NVIDIA SAYS its G92 high-end graphics card will deliver almost a teraflop of computing performance

T don't think it's entirely necessary look at the Geforce 8500, there was a Radeon 8500 but that was ancient history, by the time Geforce 9800 comes along, Radeon 9800 will also be ancient history by comparison. It was when H1 2003? Compared to the H2 2007.

yeah but 9800pro was far more popular than 8500. everytime a user searches for 9800 he will get reviews on 9800pro. A sitruation nvidia would want to avoid
