Was thinking to get Nvidia 8800 Ultra...but my friend advice that, normally near christmas...nvidia will come out a new range...which this year should be GeForce 9 Series. So 9800GTX will be in the range. So no point buying older graphic card since is around the corner.

Can anyone confirm...or heard about the new card around??

Should be out by November, probably early of November before Crysis comes out

New series for each year? Btw, this is 8900 series and 9800 series as well

As part of the new 8900 series, NVIDIA plans to introduce the GeForce 8900GTX which will replace the current high-end 8800GTX. It will ship at a retail price of $549 USD and it will also see the inclusion of GDDR4 memory which allows NVIDIA to raise the clock speeds to outrageous 2200MHz frequencies.
http://news.softpedia.com/news/NVIDIA-Stri...ies-47233.shtml

The fully scalar design of the G92 (9800) series of GPUs is combined with a 512bit wide memory interface and an extended support for as much as 1GB of GDDR4 graphics memory...............549-649 USD for the GeForce 9800 GTX and 399-449 USD for the GeForce 9800 GTS.

Brother got so early launch meh?? then EVGA 8800GTS superclocked wanna sell out?? I wanna try . btw G92 izzt 8800GT or 9800GTX? confused with their codename.

most likely 9 series won`t be happened very soon..
as long as ati not come out with new powerful card that can kill those 8800 gtx, (tend to be marketing purpose)...

rumours from oversea forumers..
g92 is 8600, n g 90 is 9800

since when their change the code name, don`t know, a bit confuse

But normally Nvidia will come out something for christmas. This is the only time the sales of a graphic card in states start to boom. Where parents might thinking of a christmas give for their kids.

Imagine USD550 can get a new super graphic card. Which is cheap...if u work in the US. Like RM550...cheap bo...

I don't see them launching anything fancy to kill their own top end card, since there is no competition, it just doesn't make business sense. What card are you using now, and how long can you *wait*...

Me using Asus 8600GTS. Thinking to make my killer machine once bonus out. 2 top line graphic card SLi over. Current best is 8800GTX Ultra. Which i think will be replace soon.

I o ready make a mistake once liow. Bought an Intel processor, after 3 weeks...intel come out new range...cheaper and similar performance.

I this round make sure not going to kena again...

They did this consistently before and killed 3dfx (their main competitor) in the process. You cannot assume your competition is standing still. If you are one step ahead, you always want to try and keep it that way.

Ya ho, 3dfx, good card...i still remember the voodoo card. One of the best card, they are the very first company that use 2 GC for one CPU. before nvidia SLi

The new high end is Quad Crossfire / Triple SLi.
No buts.

Nice work NVIDIA... hehehehee ATI will have to ultra boost harder to outbeat their latest range

If is Triple SLi...meaning need to change mobo again lor...siow one

Just buy the one which suit your requirement. No point getting a high end graphic card when you are running a tiny puny display or simply go sli when its not needed. And still early to talk bout those "9800" card.

The current mobo i am using now is a quad SLI ready from Foxconn while So far i see Asus have triple SLi ready mobo.

Quad and triple SLi mobo is good for multi-display as well as multi-display OPENGL usage.. for DX its still not supported. Even current SLi isnt fully supported yet.

9800 wont be released until late next year as speculated while the 89xx series will be competing with ATI 2950 series.

Dude,USD550 and RM550 is a lot of difference la.
You're comparing rm550 to 550Rupiah.

8800GTX at USD 298

Imagine what you can get with USD 550

I will be drooling deeply.. 8800GTX Sli mode

USD 550?? is there a shop will sell it..

Dont know which online store selling you a 8800gtx for 290usd but from what I see on newegg, all are 500usd above, except for MSI 8800gtx which is bout 455usd

Hahaha. silly silly. the standard living in states and Malaysia is like comparing heaven and earth. is much different. i wish the economy is not that screw up. so that everything will be cheap too. Woohoo Cheers!

Oh by the way. 9800 GTX. Are u sure is this coming christmas. if it is, i would love to force myself go to states. haha.

wah 9800
it reminds of Radeon 9800XT AGP 256mb 256bit

Wont the names of the 9xxx series clash with the previous Radeon 9xxx series? They might need to rename their products after the 8series

yup yup yup
why cant they just use their revision number
like NV80 or NV91
its really more professional and straight forward
unlike the mouthful
NVIDIA GEFORCE 8800GTX
or wait till u mention Gigabyte's model names with all those numbers

why cant it be for asus for example
Asus ENV91
or for Radeon
Asus ERv600

Not surprised if faster series will be out anytime soon after Crysis... just like how FarCry/Oblivion bring down the high-end cards at that time to its knees... we need something to take on Crysis and the like!
Wondering what is NVidia or ATI doing on the high-end range after the release of 8800/2900 series?

But the price is killing man....i bet when it's out the 8 series cards price are gonna drop like hell...

yups...i guess tats one of the reason why there is so much ppl selling of their 8800 cards now and wanted to get a lower end card for this phase in time.

Once new generation card out...the price for the 8800 series will be droping soon

There is NO new generation in 2007. LOL.

Even 9 series would launch in the second half of 08.

Are u sure?if it's out before that sorry la if u kena bomb here.. ,is it ur own opinion or is there a link to it for us to check out on it?

Potentially you only get another GX2 card for Q1 2008.

Q2 2008 is too close for a launch.

Go ask nVidia.

well instead of having nv90, why not 8800GTX2 or UltraX2
ahaha

that's the reason i bought a x1950pro card instead of a dx10 card. this card will tie me over till next batch of dx10 card come and price reduction of current dx10 card. by then more dx10 games will be out. hehe

Sometimes was thinking, normally ppl get the latest graphic card to play latest games or just for the sake of having it for benchmarking in 3Dmark

there wont b DX10 anymore...DX10.1 will take over the future starting with 2950pro s the 1st ever DX10.1 card 2 kick start the new empire n therefore certified FTW

I think it will be the end of this year or early next year. Better start with the waiting game now( save fund)....

what?! 9800 ah?? i wonder how much is the price maa...

O ready saving bullets to get new cards liow...once bonus come can buy.

If they're looking to play all the latest games at max they're going to be disappointed. So far as I know there's no hardware available that can totally max out WiC if you run at the highest resolutions (1680x1050 for instance) the latest hardware will get you a whole 18fps.


"So i just installed the game on a 10krpm hdd, vista, qx8650, 8800ultra, 4gb epp. ran the benchmark at 1680x1050 on 22" widescreen with very high settings. got fps minimum/average/maximum 18/32/64. then i ran it on 1280x1024 with very high settings and the load time was halfed and got the fps 19/35/71."

From http://www.gamespot.com/features/6179006/i...html?msg_sort=1

when 9800gtx release..the price sure bomb u like hell... grab 8800 Ultra la after 98Gtx release.. the price of 88ultra sure drop like heaven

Thats why u will notice some ppl are selling off the card liow...smart way. To avoid a big lost soon. Is always more untung to by the card...once it launch. Used till almost and of the year...sell it off..the max u will lost around 500 - 700 bucks. Once

After my experience with the 7950GX2, I dont think I'm gonna trust the 2 in 1 sandwich cards again. So dissapointing. Wait n wait n wait for teh Quad SLI drivers n it never materialised. If I had known the Quad drivers were never gonna materialise, I wud haf jsut bougth 2x 7900GTX at the time. The 7950GX2 was nowhere near the performance of 2x 7900GTX.

well as far as i know
they abandoned the quad sli already
so the story of 8950 ended there.

they are supposedly concentrating on tri sli and hybrid sli.

yup i hate tat card because of the heat tat it generate.. damn hot

even drop oso will still b above 1k one so no point better get 8800GT or wait 4 the 640 GTS V2

9800gtx?......only money can do the talk......huhu

So far there's no news about geforce 9 coming in this NOV 2007 ... so sad I thought I would be expecting the geforce 9 would coming out in ASAP but next year??? q1 2008 ??? wat a crap. Well hopefully it comes truefully and superb outrageous monster geforce 9 than geforce 8. Darn.... looking forward the high end graphic cards in the next generation and hoping it comes the greatest graphic card of all. Now saving money for the series geforce 9 and the rest of the motherboard haha lol.

Technology is fast, but not that fast i think

i think its almost impossible to try catching up wif technology, especially comps. unless ur damn freaking rich

so what sorta power do we need for post-dual sli? >800W?

quote from a movie title: too fast too furious

i can tell u
dont wait for new stuffs to come by
when there's new item coming
there will be reviews on upcoming item as well
if u keep waiting
u wont get new PC but u'll b left behind
like gamers always says
todays high-end is tomorrow's mid-range
haha

get what worth with your money ...most important is you know how to utilize the HIgh enD stuff if u bought it

The 9800GTX price sure bomb out 3K i guess

DirectX 10.1/ 11 support

Will cost nuclear not bomb haha.

nvidia kasi can same ati to catch up with it gc ma
even 3870 cant even beat 8800 seruies

single card is a yes but 3870 CF mode is more promising than 8800 SLI

3870 CF got awesome performance

Exactly...costing a bomb expected

9800GTX ? should be next year..even G92 GTS release at December...still have a long time to wait

With games like Crysis pushing graphic cards to the absolute maximum.

Both Nvidia and ATI/AMD are going to continuously come out with more powerful, power hungry, hotter (literally) and bigger graphic cards.

This is a good thing, I doubt they will price their graphic card out of consumer reach. Thereby, ensuring their doom.

not at all, it depends on the game.

http://futuremark.yougamers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=67852

also, for the price of both card on cf or sli you can get an 8800GTX which yields better results. both cards dont scale that well on the newer games that i want to play

Huh got GS now? Or GT???

my next card upgrade will be 9800gtx, it is said to cost around RM1900

This post has been edited by zexynova: Nov 26 2007, 11:14 PM

weet? rm1900? i tot will be more then 2500 at least

i work in the states. and ure right, i just bought an 8800gt after tutoring for 10 hours and im not taxed!

it will probably replace the 8800gtx. would they use the same n92 though?

no le i when online check, 9800gtx when release the price is around RM1900.

can you give the source?

wewt...dun make me happy plz

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

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

http://www.xbitlabs.com/discussion/3953.html

well, for me, i will consider it as braggin articles....



This post has been edited by 168257061: Nov 28 2007, 02:17 AM

If those prices are real that not really expensive la... normal.

RM 1,900 .. Sounds not bad le

since itself (xbitlab) says 9800 series come in November, i don't think its about that price Braggin articles

Not bad here, I bet it be no doubt than the geforce 8800 ultra.

I think there will be no next generation until Q3 next year with R700 and G100.

aiks how come no more next gen card this year november

Vixxiee already gave the source. my source also has the same price.i forgot my source d. i saw for quite some time ago.

9800 ..?? sounds like old ATi tho..

wow 9800series GF ....i wonder how much the price of an 8800gt card will drop? ... cos i planning to buy the 8series, save cost.....and btw....how high can the 8800GT card support? crysis high detail 22" screen ?? can ar?

indeed hope no lawsuit occur next year

haiyah you should ask in 8800GT thread ma dont OT here

Hmm..reasonable price..8880ultra price will drop when the 9800 series are out..i think that's the best time to grab thosee ultra and start to SLI it...

Ya....that's a good idea. Dunno how much the 8800ultra when this 9series comes out, definitely cheaper

Well, by the time it is out, you will not consider it already. Same reason here why most people are opting for those mid range 8series card instead of the high end 7series when they arrived. It is known that the 8series perform lesser than the high end 7series but people opted for the 8series. Its just people do not want older technology here and besides that, it will be hard to find those older cards anymore...

No matter how much it will drop, it will still be hefty price, better off getting 9800GTS with such budget

I guess my 8800GS will not arrive after all..sigh...

Why dont go 8800GT instead, good performance and better price

9600GT will be the 1st card from the 9 series family.. based on its rumoured spec, nothing impresses me though..

hahaha since when there is 8800GS coming out

Ops 8800GT

hahaha why not try 3870 1st while waiting

True also..i would even rather go for the 9 series too when it's out..

Wrong! Nvidia 9xxx series will only be out next year 2008.

lol quit the harsh on thunderbolt...man u see the date he posted is 10 of oct 2007..when that time everyone tot the new highend will arrive in nov

yeah...he posted is in 10 oct.
some ass articles even announce 9800 will be release at november.

Just 2 months less to go.....Again then they(nvidia) will state 9800 will be twice or thrice th3 performance of last gen card.

And the recent G92 cards price will drop. Time to grab them

Oh no...it still expensive, the lower end 9series will not empress me though.

Well then if ATi still doesn't come out with some fight back machine.....situation will be the same.No competitor for nvidia and then for a year.But worst if Ati is beaten.Nvidia dominating.....then their nv card price sky rocket...wouldn't want to see that even I'm "nsist" on nvidia.
