Ah.. and there goes me about to drop an 8800GT in my rig.. Guess I'll be waiting sigh.

C-Sniper · 30th Nov 2007, 17:49

Been waiting for these... i have a 7900GS and an FX5950 Ultra in my 2 PCs.
Gonna put the 9800 in place of the 7900GS and the 7900GS in place of the 5950U (DX 8 cheesecake!!!)
and the 5950 will probably go somehwere but im not sure.
but finally we have a timeline on when they will be out.

2JSC · 30th Nov 2007, 19:02

As fast as what nVidia releases new cards, I'd much rather have an HD3870 now... and then buy another one or two or three and still be quite satisfied.

DXR_13KE · 30th Nov 2007, 19:28

i was expecting them this Christmas.... ow well, i thing i will get a 8800GT for my next rig.

Redbeaver · 30th Nov 2007, 19:55

adamc · 30th Nov 2007, 22:01

Gunsmith · 30th Nov 2007, 22:44

Barely.

Still, that 5950 would work great in a HTPC.

Woodstock · 1st Dec 2007, 03:18

i could see me getting an evga gpu in january, and a nice stepup

outlawaol · 2nd Dec 2007, 08:03

I hate this literal jump to new hardware every few months. Games are being pumped out at a crappy speed ( I say that because a lot of DX10 games suck). Come on developers, get with the program. Having "the" best graphics dosnt mean a hill a beans if the story aint worth two cents. Look at the HL series, excellent story is key. Looks is second.

I think the industry is hell bent on hardware development atm, since everyone and there brother can create great looking games with no actual decent story.

I honestly think its becoming hit or miss with games. Sad really...

*sigh*

(RFFN)-SqUeD · 2nd Dec 2007, 13:34

D*mn got my seld a nice 8800gtx SLI setup a half year ago..... now i know what to do in february!!! get my self a 9800GTX SLI :-?
i'm curiuos what the power of those graka's are???

Haven't played dx10 games i'm (still) an xp kinda guy!!!!!

wuyanxu · 2nd Dec 2007, 20:00

whohoo. my dream card, here i come!

but i'd probably wait for a 9800GT to spend some sensible money instead of like last time.

GoodBytes · 2nd Dec 2007, 20:07

I expect to see the Geforce 9800 be like when the Geforce 7800 was released.
An (to the eye of the consumer) and overclocked Geforce 6800 with 4 new features.

From a source I cannot say, I know what will be new in DX10.1
In DX10.1 it will make all the optional things in DX10.0 be mandatory, the Geforce 8800 does support this.
Then it has independent blend modes per MRT, cubemap arrays and per-sample shading.
Technically, independent blend modes per MRT and cubemap arrays can be achieved with the GeF-8800, but at reduce performance, the last think cannot be achieved.
I can't say more I'm afraid, I might get some people in trouble

DeXtmL · 3rd Dec 2007, 10:14

It's said that D9E would employ over 2TFlops performance and force ATI to release their R700 (and 3870x2 falls).
If this is true, we gonna have a real next-gen visual experience! especially on Crysis 2!

Cheers.
