    Pff lol that's like predicting the lottery numbers: you can guess and probably get close with some luck.

    Theyll release an ultra version Q4 and the R450/480/500 will be Q2 next year as always.

    Well that page is a round-about spec. I agree with Bindibadgi.

    Watch as i make up the new Nvidia NV56

    Introduced: 2004-Q4

    Description: High end Nvidia graphics chip. To be built in a 90 nm process and support DirectX 12. Launched in Q4-04 in the best case scenario... Supports DirectX 9.0c or 10 and Pixel and Vertex shaders 3.1 with 256 bit precision.


    ;)

    it's not directX 10 anyway, it's going to be called directX next from what I understand. Something to do with copyright I think. Also it's not going to be released til 2005 afaik (directX next)

    I can make two accurate predictions about the R500:

    1. The reference card will use a fire-engine red PCB.
    2. It will be very very quick compared to a Geforce 2 MX.

    :)
