8800 ultra still need around rm2500 arrr...

GeForce 9800 - NVIDIA has the Press by the Throat

NVIDIA has finally gotten a strong grip on the media's throat with the selective information and press releases they are putting out. It's no wonder we can't speculate on the NV55 / Gxx that we call the GeForce 9800 series, because they simply haven't provided with a codename yet. The G92 is officially the 8700GTS, the G98 is some lower end model priced at $59, and the G86 is unconfirmed? I'm still placing high bets that they are going to call it the G90, but then again I can't be sure of it. As for a November 2007 release date, I would agree that it's highly probable considering the company's history of high end cards, as well as staying competitive with AMD/ATi's new upcoming lineup. Additionally, German based CryTek has given some hints about working exclusively with Intel and NVIDIA to give gamers the "best possible experience", meaning that Intel would release its Extreme Edition of the 45nm Penryn "Yorkfield" and "Wolfdale" chips in November, and NVIDIA would accordingly release the GeForce 9800 series.

Anyways, congrats to NVIDIA for keeping their release info on the "down low". As much as you all want a definitive answer, I'm very sure that it will be a November release for the GeForce 9800.

G98 is some lower end model? Wow... What about the higher than 8800GTX ones?

A bigger value for the codename doesn't have to mean more superior for nVIDIA. Like G80 > G86, G72 > G73 in some cases.

So based on this info, there's no >8800GTX models for Nov release right...

There might be...saw this on Google News Today:
According to insiders at a Taiwanese production plant, new information about Nvidia’s holiday lineup of graphics cards has come up...

[edit]nvm i found out it's old news

old source ler, can believe or not ah?

thats Bad news for me,
i even think to buy a 8800GTX or 8800ultra for a good price,
after 9800 release my 8800 become low-end, great..........
my aspire for high-end PC is harder now

well like what mr ian said
thats the price for digressing.

u buy for u needs now.

i enjoyed my gtx for half a year and my ultras likewise.
the hd2900xt 512 for a 4 months
gts a year..

they were all damn good GPU's

Uh.... Im saving money now and get the 9800GTX by next year.Btw, who know the price for 9800gtx ?? Im really want to know >.<...

Gona save money for the big toys coming!!

um...may i ask a question?....Is it recommended to get the 8800 to use with single core CPU? Will the performance be different when used with dual core? If yes...by alot or a little?

Imo normally mid-range (8800GTS 320MB) of 3Dcard series doesnt drop price as obvious as higher-range ones.

As i noticed at NVNEWS posts..


Cheers

nope.. imo because the amount of ram for both cards are not equal...

err dont think so ultras are dropping

heck the lastes msi oc ultra is around us 559...
even evga cards u can get the ultra superclocked around the same

so guess the normal cards should be around 525??

also the source is from pricegrabber.. which is usually wrong...

heck u should check their so called prices of rams...

Got a question for u guys about the SLi setup...

Lets say if I buy a 8800GTX from ASUS and the other from XFX...can use those two to run SLi or not?

If so , is it stable?

YES , possible , u can operate SLI mode with diff brand , as long are same chips and same model .
if u talk abt stable , i have no idea .
