8800 no more use?haha?price will reduce?

Hi Guys,

We will be launching Albatron 9800GX2 and 9600GT here very soon. Perhaps even as a sweet Valentine present.

Watch out for our posting here for benchies and pics soon.

All the best.

Cant wait to see the score

Do not judge it that way. Currently, both of the 9series card (9600GT and 9800GX2) would not be competing with the 8800series though..Except the Ultra i guess

Yup, good one akachester!

Being an NVidia disty, this is our understanding of the NVidia VGA current positions:

1. 9800GX2 and 9600GT are NOT meant to replace any cards. They are additions to the line.

2. This is probably what the line would look like after Feb 2008: 9800GX2, 8800GTS, 8800GT, 9600GT, 8600GT DDR3 and so on...

Hope this clarifies some of the concerns here. So guys, 8800GTS and 8800GT are still good buy for price/performance.

All the best.

seems like some ppl say there will be delay for the 9xxx...just place order for 8800gts...but still can wait for the 9series as no ppl want to get gts

the 9800GX2 is meant to be the replacement of the 8800 Ultra..

no more Ultra after this coz Nvidia must be sure to focus on selling the sandwich card as many as possible..

read here...

9600 GT is delayed to 21st Feb due to some power controller problem.

9800gx2 is to replace 8800U
while 9600GT is to replace 8600GTS

these are facts bro

Right on there. Sorry, we ignored these facts because 8800 Ultra and 8600GTS has been obsoleted in the market for sooooooo long that we totally overlooked them. You mean to say you can still find these 2 models in the market now, or say 2 mths ago?

Anyway, we hope the nice folks here don't think that 9600GT is better than or will replace the 8800GT.

still got use 4 tight budget gamers who wanna blast crysis sky high

this is very true hehe

I guess this is the first look on the 9800GX2. Very beautiful card indeed..

There are people running quad SLi on it as well. But from the looks of it, the cooler somehow resembles the older 8800GTS/GTX series cooler sandwiched between 2 cards...

9800GX2 hehehe?? look like sandwich 7950GX2 wannabe?? but not happened on 88Series...rite

Geforce 8800 Ultra retires this month

So long, you fast lad

Nvidia has informed its partners that it won't be accepting more orders for Geforce 8800 Ultra and advised them to try to sell them as soon as they can.

This is a clear indication that something new is close, and from what we know, the middle of February is the date.

Nvidia's replacement for 8800 Ultra is dual G92-based, big and hot but we have every reason to believe that it will end up faster than R680, simply as G92 is faster than a single RV670.

Geforce 8800 Ultra goes into history after being on the market for about seven months.

NVIDIA delays almost all their new products to March

Almost all NVIDIA's upcoming products will be delay to March, according to our sources.

Delayed new products including 780a, 750a, 790i, 790i Ultra, and 9800 GX2. All these products should be announced in Feb, 2008. Sources did not mention the reason why NV hold the upcoming releases. And we guess that's because of factories are running into Chinese new year holiday.

The delay will push back the war between GeForce 9800GX2 and Radeon HD 3870 X2. And that means HD 3870 X2 will be the absolutely highest product in the market, continue eating NVIDIA's share for one extra month.

And 790i and 790i Ultra's delay will make them directly face Intel's X48. Also, in NVIDIA's February product line, only GeForce 8200 will still stick on NV's roadmap, to be released in Feb. But GeForce 8200's rival, AMD's 780G have been released in China few days ago.

We've also reported 9600GT suffering a week's delay from Feb 14 to Feb 21, and its enemy, Radeon HD 3600 series already began selling from Jan 23.

how much the price will be? hopefully it will be cheaper than 88xx series, bcoz of new safe cost technology

Well, price point will depend on the segment of the market they are competing though. I do have a feeling that the 9600GT would be price somewhere around the 8800GS or lower while the 9800GX2 is definitely going to take over the outrageous price point of the 8800Ultra.

gud news!! more time to savng mony
