really a hard fight between nvidia & ati...

never ending war.......

if the ati can make it come true, the next gen r700 will come with multicore for vga, even midrange hv 2 graphic core... hope nvidia will do the same...

What war? It seems that it's been nvidia all the way this year - at least from looking at the steam hardware survey http://www.steampowered.com/status/survey.html

It's only a war if there is some fight.

From this, there's absolutely no reason for nvidia to release their next part out as early as February. The only reason nvidia would release a new part would be to spoil the launch of another amd/ati part.

Wah sei i change too many stuff now new one ! HAIZ headec liao ! and tooth pain !

Why not. They beat AMD by being way early. They beat 3dfx by being early. Waiting for your competitor to catch up or surprise you is not a good idea in this game.

There are no surprises here. Everyone has a roadmap to follow. If i recall just recently we all know that the 8800gt was launched to counter the HD 3850 and HD 3870. It's about market dominance. The more dominant nvidia are in this the less incentive they have to release new products, it's the same with any other monopolists.

edit: I also thought nvidia beat 3dfx by buying them out?

Just start planning to buy 8800GT card, and hear this news. Aiks, what should i do ?

jus get it bro, It's not gonna end if U just wait and see what the technology produces, aihhhh, I am also getting confused... technology has been growing rapidly

if your current card still statisfy your need, then don't need to upgrade. but if you feel your card is already somewhat out of your test..then just grab 8800gt. always only buy when you need it. tech is changing fast

btw..good to have war between them..if not..we will suffer from overpriced hardware...

6 to 9...
haha
if 8 wait to 10 lar?
my tips for upgrading gc
u got the money go for it
why bother wait
plus if u use 8 change to 9
the 8 ppl still want it in garage sales
6/7 outdated edi
haha

if your current gc could cope your needs and u r happy with it then just keep it, if upgrade is needed indeed then no point for waiting, hard to always keep up the new thingy unless really loaded

Last time I jump 4 and 5 to 7. Hehe

They owned 3dfx before buying them out (oh the pun). There is no monopoly in the GPU market, plus nvidia have bigger problems to worry about than AMD in the long term, namely intel. It would not do them any good to pull their punches.

Seriously u cant always wait . Like what they said , the hardware is already outdated once you bought it , just waiting for it to be obsolete .

Yeah, i get what u meant, Moore's Law .

However, I do hope that by the time i get a new card, it will in the right timing which will be a long way before the price starts to depreciate.

the 3870 and 3850 launched to counter 8800gt actually...

so..this news is confirm? btw the new cards will be pci 2.0 rite? high end card 65nm and mid will be 55nm? isit 55nm more oc ability than 65nm?

You got it wrong.

8800GT was mid-nov originally, later than 3800s.

They made an "emergancy" launch and you could count it as one of the rather poor launches nV has made. Performance is there, but you get literally no stock at MSRP, DOA cards, and some people actually got the 3800s instead.

If they launched after, people would've waited, and there wouldn't be so many issues anyway.

total money i spend to my pc . can buy a kancil liao
