1. By Q4 2007 (Xmas) NVIDIA will be releasing their GeForce 9800 series GPUs.
Unlike previously expected the codename for nVidia's next generation GPU will NOT be "G90" but instead be "G92".

I have some info form NVIDIA insider about the upcoming G92 graphics processors.

G92 will be released in November 2007 timeframe in the form of "GeForce 9800" series.

"G92" GeForce 9800 GTX specs.

- 65nm process technology at TSMC.
- Over one billion transistors.
- Second Generation Unified Shader Architecture.
- Double precsion support (FP64).
- GPGPU native.
- Over one TeraFLOPS of shader processing power.
- MADD+ADD configuration for the shader untis (2+1 FLOPS=3 FLOPS per ALU)
- Fully Scalar design.
- 512-bit memory interface.
- 1024MB GDDR4 graphics memory.
- DirectX 10.1 support.
- OpenGL 3.0 Support.
- eDRAM die for "FREE 4xAA".
- built in Audio Chip.
- built in tesselation unit (in the graphics core"
- Improved AA and AF quality levels

Pros.

65nm process will allow for better yields and better power consumption. power consumption will be lower than that of a GeForce 8800 GTX.

GeForce 9800 GTX will be over two times faster than a GeForce 8800 Ultra in real world games and applcations.

Release date : November 2007. There will be TWO products at launch: The flagship GeForce 9800 GTX and the second fastest GeForce 9800 GTS.

price for the GeForce 9800 GTX will be 549-649 USD.

price for the GeForce 9800 GTS will be 399-449 USD.

kns

i just bought gtx from s1.. yesterday..

Hope current owners will start dumping their 8800GTSes into Garage Sales.

well, since there's already 7 series, 8 series, why not having upcoming 9 series card?

LOL..No news about 8900GTX yet and the 9series is already coming..LOL..

Agree! Agree! I'm looking for either the GTX or GTS 640mb....

This is the news I've been waiting for!

these 9 series using PCIE2.0 but still compatible wih PCIE1.0 n 1.1

what to do..nVidian desperate to released it beast at the end of this year

time to start saving, gonna sell my gc if the 9 series come out..

This GPU sure gonna be out of my budget...

Hehe, by that time, it will be fishing time in garage sales

well... if like that, i might be sticking with current mobo la...

why ler no between 8600 n 8800 series..
end up 8600gts right now..

hmmm the price seems reasonable,
hope it runs cooler than the 8800GTX

LOLOL

People should learn to come up with more believable fake specs.

Yeah me too, someone here want to sell their GTS 640 at lowest possible price pm me k...

Well, if this releases, I forsee alot of users switching to 64-bit OS since the GC already takes up 1gb. Lol, if on SLI then you MUST use 64-bit or suffer the losses lol.

hopefully it not so power hungry and runs cooler..........

wander hows the GTS version would spec,

i think if the new replacement for 8800GTs 320mb price rought the same, it would be a great hit for the market

i'm waiting for this, and yeah, where's 8900GTX?? no rumors about it whatsoever.

look good spec

Nah, it's nothing to what Intel will be coming out with their new GPU specs around the same time.

i did not concern about their another high-end product , but more to waiting for their mid-range performance product like 8700 or 8800 pro which will more close to current largest user market .
