Nvidia is ready for its next-generation GPU launch. According to sources at graphics card makers, the company plans to launch its GeForce 9 series GPU after the Lunar New Year in February. The first chip to rollout of in GeForce 9 family will be the D9E, a high-end product that adopts 65nm manufacturing. The new product will also support DirectX 10.1 and Shader Model 4.1, revealed the sources. In addition to the D9E, Nvidia will roll out a mid-range GeForce 9 family product named D9P in June 2008. The new GPU will adopt 55nm processing, the sources pointed out.

then 8800ultra will be crap
waiting the day to come lol

If thats true, the shit yeah! I want to play Crysis at it max! If this card can handle it lol.

3 month.. We should start saving our money from now to buy this card

Indeed a good news but this is the high-end version with high end price! And these is where the mid-range cards come in, scheduled on Jun 2008. At the end of the year mainstream version probably come out, and prices for high and mid range should be cheaper. Only then i would consider upgrade... The soon to be released G92 8800GTS should hold up well until then...

best time upgrade during oct/nov, when those hot game are out.

playing waiting game huh? i doubt i could wait for that long, would grab either 8800gt ot gts soon or else i'm gonna miss lotta fun and my pc is just idling there collecting dust

tips on buying graphic cards : Always skip a generation

-if you bought a GF4, wait for GF6
-if you bought GF6, wait for GF8
-If you bought GF8, wait for GF10

then you'll really feel the difference, and save a ton of money

wow thta fast, i thought its only cmin out around september or october next year. hmm, probably ill pass on this card. cuz i just got 8800gt and now ill wait for 10 series.

hahaha. its about time 2 save all ang pow money 4 these babies.

But I always buy a next gen card, how?

but then, there's no big name games around tat time next year
currently waiting for sins of a solar empire, tat's should be the closest big name games scheduled to be released in feb

can't deny that sometimes it kinda of hard to resist

why WAIT / BUY when you can BUY / SELL ?

haha, im still using geforcefx series, guess if i upgrade anytime also got big difference heheheh.

keep waiting and i'm sure u won't change in your life time =_="

i think untill mati also cannot afford those new highend gc...
but maybe a good news for me, since the price of current higend gc might drop a lot...

i can see you are a low end gamer eh but then new card means new system setup wey

I actually planing to jump from 6 to 9. lol

lol...nice jump.. think the score will be triple up eh? 6 series still can play new games but with low reso, low setting.
