Codename: G92

[carb0n]

I was looking on Google for some information on the 9 series GPU, and I came across a thread on the nVidida forum. Apparently, someone did some intensive research and found most of the specs on the 9800GTX. However, it is very likely the information might not be accurate, although he has provided sources.

I just wanted to share this with you all.
Below is the information posted in nVidia forums, and I'll also give you the links with all the information that he found.

G92 will be released in November 2007 timeframe in the form of "GeForce 9800" series.

I guess we'll start seeing new G92 threads every time the previous one falls off the first page.

Wow, if that GTS is only 400, I'll do it. I was going to drop my money on another 8800gts...but dang that is an awesome price!!

You got that right.

The specs were released quite a few months ago, the card is to be released sometime in november.

I remember it was supposed to be a GTX and a dual-board GX2 version (~$549 GTX, ~$599 GX2), guess things have changed over the past few months.

Hehe, thanks.

I hadn't seen the other G92 threads, so I figured I'd post this one. Oh well.
Amazing how fast technology is processing, I mean, I was just considering getting a 8800GTS (maybe even SLI, but where could I get that much money? XD ) I start hearing about these 9 series cards...

Call me when heat and power info becomes available. Until then my 7900gs will serve me well.

Those are MSRPs and are the same MSRPs the 8800s came out at I believe. Of course street pricing was above that or at the highest end of the range for a while.

I can understand that, but if the performance is anything better than 1 8800gts, it is TOTALLY worth the 440 (minus what my card sells for) for the upgrade

But I might just wait for it, see how it does and then get a second 8800gts, all depends on how much it costs and how must faster (if any) than 8800gts's in SLi.

I recently read an article in Maximum PC, one of the editors tested next-gen games on Vista with both a 8800GTS and 8800GTX.
I'll list the results.
(specs used to test games were c2d extreme X6800, eVGA 680i SLI board, and 2GB of corsair ram)

I'm not too sure, but I think they tested those games at 1920x1200.

I don't know much about the performance capabilities of the 8 series cards or how graphically taxing those games can be, though.

But by the looks of it, I'd probably end up buying the 9 series cards.
