I updated my news post with the rumor but I figured I would post it here as the new story wont get many views from previous posters. Basically it is rumored that Nvidia is planning on releasing a graphics card that is a true next-generation graphics card from the "G100" or "GT200" series. Release date is suspected to be in May or June due to Nvidia supposedly nearing its completion. The card is expected to leave AMD/ATI's R770 graphics card, being released around the same time, in the dust. Opinions? My opinion is that I couldn't care if it's weaker. I hate ATI and always will no matter if AMD improves their graphics cards. Nvidia FTW!!! |
on a personal note, i would say this is incorrect, because the 9600 was jsut released in febuary, and the 9800 is coming out soonn, unless you are talking about a chipset. that would make more sense, im nto saying ur lying, i jsut have a sard time believing they would make a totally new GPU in 3 months. |

Considering how much time went between the 8800 release and the 9600 release its not surprising at all that the 9800s are so far along. If anything I'm surprised that they aren't ready to release them today.
Also, note that nVidia isn't restricted to only a single team of designers. Its likely they have a setup where a main design team works on new hardware lines like the 8800 and 9800 etc... and other teams that work on revising those architectures into the low end cards etc....in short one team is actually making the breakthroughs and another team is doing the more mundane changes. But that just my speculation on the subject.
