man i'm ready for new cards any time they want to put them on the market lol i want two low high-end with low memory crap ones. and o.t i never upgrade for games
they aren't going to leave pci-e 1.1 out. are there even any boards out that have a 2.0 slot? i'm already kind of pissed about it being 3X faster than the g80. image quality is the concern, imo. wattage/heat is the 2nd concern, imo. speed is no concern imo.
Too many cards and too many drivers. Too much coding for everything, and the pc problem. We are all in agreement that competition helps to lower prices etc. But does it really help performance wise, i think not. Imagine, just Nvidia Hardware, and that was all devs had to worry about, I think the performance in all games would outweigh the cost. Watch the video below. Thats on a ps3. Its not a hd vid. http://www.jeuxvideo.tv/heavenly-sword-video-40611.htmlDorg.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=gLE I'm guessing to run that decently and at a nice rez, you'd need a 8800gts-gtx,etc. on pc, just because of the overhead with pc games.
:smoke: Only those with deep pockets are going to be able to afford the new cards, AMD has nothing available that will cause a price war...and regardless of the stated price point, no one is going to sell them at that price , they always jack the price well above the suggested retail ....Also unless the GTX really sucks in upcoming DX10 titles there will be no rush to buy....I may find them worth buying when I do my normal upgrade late next year, maybe by then the price will drop to affordable levels, but not sooner...

I doubt it, nvidia had no competition with the G80 and the prices were fine. Hell, they even got subpoenaed (sp?) for price fixing this year. For me I bought both my 8800GTX's back in november, spending another $600 this november would probably be worth it. Also if anything, atleast the G80 is proof that Nvidia does spend it's money towards R&D, 450 Million is a pretty penny.
Meh id be more excited about the 9 series if i did gaming beyond 1680x1050... Before this rig i gamed on 1280x1024 for what seemed ages. I like my 1680x1050 so my 8800 Ultra has a lot of life left in it. :smoke:
LOL calm down peps this G92 is only going to be a mid range gpu, here is a quote from V*-zone Posted - june 28, 2007 We heard about an upcoming GPU from NVIDIA on 256-bit memory interface earlier this month and we thought it is the rumored 256-bit version of G84. Now we learned that it is actually the next generation G92, a 65nm performance part supporting PCI Express 2.0 and 256-bit memory interface. G92 performance lies between GeForce 8800 GTS and 8600 GTS so it is not the highest end GPU from the G9x series yet. There might be a G90 which we haven't heard about yet and NVIDIA gave clues that their next generation GPU will deliver close to 1 TFlops of performance in a recent analyst conference. G9x could support Double Precision FP too. Sampling will start in September and slated for launch in November timeframe.
to be honest guys, im sick of this crap that the likes of Nvidia and ATi pull. The G80 series has been out for what? 5 months? and theres already talk of a G90 card??? I think they have us taken in...hook, line and sinker.
Well if they drop the prices of the 8600gt/gts's and place these cards in that price range cause these cards never met what they were suppost to and that is match the performance of the 7800/7900 series cards and nvidia know that. So i wouldn't be suprised if nvidia pushes the 8600 series down to low budget (basically under $100) for the release of these newer cards to force ati to come up with something to challenge it.
i thought they had not used all the bandwidth of the agp platform ? , never mind using all the bandwidth of pci-express
The G80 was released over 9 months ago so there is no doubt that their next gen. card wil be available before Christmas this year.
lol and i just ordered my 8800 gts. who cares, at least i get to play bioshock at max setts come august! I'll have money saved by xmas for another overhaul.
As far as I know it should be compatible with current PCI-e motherboards. Anyway I usually always skip one generation or keep waiting when there's 3x performance boost over older generation. This might be similar performance boost what we saw with NV40.
im more concerned with getting a CPU that can accomedate the card's i already have. hopefully my SLi setup will last a little longer the G90 doe's sound like a potential beast thou. wonder how G80 SLi will hold up against a single G90 ...
