Waaaah where is the 9xxxx series?

[Pugnate]

I bought the 8800GTX on a whim the month it was released. I am so glad I didn't wait for the R600, because of the infamous delays etc.

It has been a year now, and there is no sign of the new Nvidia series. I am getting impatient damnit! I want to play Crysis again, and this time with everything maxed!

Also anyone think that AMD has really screwed up the GPU market by dragging ATi into their mess?

The R600 was delayed by six months which arguably put off any innovation from Nvidia by that long.

And now I read that AMD have stated they won't release the R700 in 2008, but in 2009?

They are screwing both the CPU and GPU markets.

Don't think like that! without AMD, there would be no competition at all, and nVidia and Intel could price gouge and slow down r+d. What are we gonna do, not buy their products? Come on.

At least the R600 and X2 / Phenom offer good low cost options.

Well the way prices have been, it's like AMD doesn't exist.

January and February should see the launches. Just wait a bit longer, your card is still high-end anyway.

No delays


We got a confirmation that R7xx generation is on schedule for 2008 and it won't be shifted to 2009 as many journalist believe. Many journos made the assumption based on Mario Rivas presentation at Investor days.

Mario was talking about Leo platform and showed the slide with Leo platform that has R7xx based scheduled for 2009.

According to current plans R7xx parts in a platform are scheduled for 2009. This doesn?t mean that the discrete products will be late, but at least today it looks that ATI can deliver them on time, at least at some point in 2008.

first of all, i am glad i waited for r600 ... i got it on a nice sale with OB bundled in.
[i didn't have PCIe 'till just before i got my 2900xt]


it's been over a year ... and nvidia is learning that the real money is to be made in the midrange - in the meantime, they suggest what AMD has been doing since 2900xt - buy another GPU for multi-GPU for Crysis. ... then upgrade again.

:Q

finally, it appears that AMD intends to continue with the upper-midrange challenge ... and *will* release r700 as soon as they can. ... in '08

as to the "merger" ... it now appears to be the salvation of both companies

apoppin is right. It takes time to come out on top and trumple something, just wait - and AMD will come out with high end card that will pwn anything nVidia has at the time.
Remember how long Intel took to release C2D? AMD CPUs were the king for a while.
You could say that nV is the king now, just like AMD was back then in CPU market.

This is not the one you want, bit the midrange 9600GT is reportedly coming in mid-february

I would love to see R700 sometime in '08. To be honest, I am pretty darn happy with my Sapphire HD2900XT 1GB. Granted, I still don't get as much FPS as comparable nVidia cards do. But since I got my HD2900XT with an employee discount... I'm one happy camper.

I am planning on either continuing to use my HD2900XT 1GB until the GeForce 9 series cards come out, or purchasing a G92 GeForce 8800GTS. I have an nForce 680i chipset motherboard and it only makes sense to equip it with an nVidia GPU. Would most of you agree that the GeForce 8800GTS (G92) performs almost on-par with the G80 GeForce 8800GTX?

Overclocked GT, yes.

Oh that chart does not have g92 8800GTS 512.

But even GT is on par with GTX when OCed, I don't see why not GTS. GTS had decent stock cooling too.

But the real question is "When does the next GTX/Ultra come out?"

My step-up window ends on March 13. Hopefully before then. I wished nVidia DID keep the "best comes out first" approach. Does anyone have any word on the GTX release date?
