We should just lock threads that deal with quotes from the inquirer. Honestly, why give that trashy BS site another hit so it can pump more revenue into more BS. Let the site die and don't visit it.

The Inq makes up a date. That date is wrong, so instead of the Inq being wrong company X is late.

Agreed. INQ often contradicts themselves, or make things up time to time.
Majority of the B3D guys dont seem to think INQ is wrong because some of the stuff that they said doesnt make sense.

The G80 PCB has been ready for a long time ago. I dont think NV wants to lose their "6 week" advantage from ATi.

Another interesting bit of G80 is that the PCB has 12 ram chips.

Lol, exactly.

According to nVidia via their most recent comments on G80's release (which was last Spring), G80 would be launched in "2H 2006."

Maybe Charlie just got confused by all the BS fud that typically gets thrown around amongst him and his fellow reporters. :roll:

I'd like to see it before the christmas season but wont hold my breath.

Doesn't really matter. Nvidia cards are doing quite well for the time being. Vista won't be here till Jan 07. Even if ready now, I'd release the card, late Nov. early Dec.

 

[GundamSonicZeroX]

I don't care. I'm not getting the DX10 cards until later next year when I upgrade to Vista. For now, I'm going to get a second GeForce 7900GT.

 

[JackBurton]

I need a DX10 card AND Vista out before I do any upgrading. So this is no big deal to me, if true.

And September isn't over yet, so the point is...?

it sure as hell matters. G80's arrival will drive the cost of the current high ends. remeber x850xt selling for <150. i want that sittuation again. then i'll buy a x1950xtx. 🙂

384 bit bus? Sounds tasty! (EDIT: for those who don't know video card drams are 32 bits wide, so 8 of them yeilds a 256 bit bus, 128 bit cards use 4 drams and a 384 bit card would use 12. a 512 bit card would naturally use 16.)

September for final tape out. 😉

 

[BFG10K]

I'm looking forward to the card as I've decided to avoid SLI and Crossfire this generation and wait for G80.

I hope they crank the RAM on this one and I hope it's not as hot as the initial claims.

They never offically mentioned any dates nor months, but just "hinted" for a september/october launch.

Even if they did, they say a lot of crap that isnt true, like "the FX cards have 8 pipes too", or "a 400mhz g71 as fast as a 550mhz g70...", and more BS. I personally wasnt expecting the g80 or r600 any time earlier than November, maybe even December.

well my 9500pro has 8 drams but its only 128bit.... they are however arranged 4 on top, 4 on the bottom, like theyre soldered to the same contacts

 

[R3MF]

but you would expect cards to either have 4, 8, or 16 chips if they had a regular Power-of-two data bus like 128bit or 256bit.

12 chips does hint at a 192/384 bit data bus.

a lot of 9500pros were 9700s in disguise
