I have a friend who works on the 8-man board layout team at nVidia. This is all unofficial, but here's what he had to say:
The FX will be on sale by the end of the month (early Feb. at the latest). As has been reported, only about 1/5 of the chips work (because of the .13 micron problems). As such, they have been scarce, but are now in production.
The CEO of nVidia wants one thing - to crush ATi. Evidently, the FX is up to the challenge.
nVidia works closely with idSoftware in the development process. Every version of DOOM III has been handed to nVidia for testing. The NV30 performs phenomenally.
Anyway, that's about it. Hold on to your butts. This card is going to fly.
