I don't think this scenario is very likely. The R700 (ATIs Dual RV770) is said to be on schedule for June/July. In addition it's supposed to be at least 50% faster than the X2. The 9800 GX2 will be like 8800 GTS SLI with a higher clocked memory. At the moment I believe the GT200 will not...

Source This pretty much confirms the HardOCP article. According to these sources (1, 2, 3) the 9800 GTX will only be a higher clocked 8800 GTS 512. Other cards will follow: 9600 GS, 9500 GT, 9500 GS. I wonder why Nvidia is establishing this new series so close before the launch of...

The 9600GT has been delayed too. I think he refers to benchmarks, articles, tests and so on.

Wow, thats very disappointing, much worse than expected. Lets hope (like always on ATI cards) they'll fix it with better drivers. At least there some competition in the highend market now.

It's good to see some competition.

If Nvidia would have something like a G90 (for the 9800 GTX) why should they release the 9800 GX2? They have to produce two PCBs for the GX2, it costs them much more than building a single card. Maybe Nvidia had the G90 but it failed? Due to ATIs weak performance it wasn't a real problem...

Although I'd love to see a new highend card like the 9800 GTX I'm afraid this won't happen. The 9800 GX2 will be Nvidias new highend card. If they had a powerful 9800 GTX they wouldn't have to release a GX2 card. Because ATI wants to deliver the R700 in the end of Q2 Nvidia will deliver...

Disappointing. I dont think the card will be that bad.

For some reason I just don't believe this. What are your sources? By releasing the nextgen card early they could have crushed ATI like Intel did with the C2D.

I don't see any reason why the 9800 GTX (if it actually comes) should be something cool. It (probably) will be G92 based, maybe with some higher clocks, but thats it. I expect it just to replace the old 8800 GTX series with a Die-Shrink (65nm) and a small, very small, performance increase. At...

Any new information? I'm planing to build a new computer with a 8800 GTX (330EUR/USD) because: - It can display almost every game (except Colin McDirt and Crysis) in 1920x1200 - It became cheap - It can be overclocked good - If the 9800 GTX refresh is a G92 it won't be much faster (5%?)...

Totally agree. If the R700 is early (and according to rumors its ahead of schedule) ATI will beat the 9800GX2 with it's new card. If Nvidia has the G100 already finished they have to put it out (and make the 9800 GX2 cards useless) or they lose this round.

Some people say the upcoming 9800GTX will be based on the G100. But I think thats really unlikely.

I don't expect a 9800GT or GTS at all. Why? The 9800GX2 is just 2 8800GTS (G92-400). Maybe they'll rename the 8800GTS to 9800GTS. I really don't get their product strategy: - Nvidia develops a new chip (G92) - Nvidia replaces existing 8800 cards with newer ones (8800GTS G92, ...) instead of...

I bought a 24" LCD some months ago and I'm really disappointed. Still no video card which displays Crysis in 1920x1200 smooth, although Nvidia promised a 1 Teraflop card for the end of 2007. Maybe I'll buy a 8800GT in March, or I'll wait until the end of 2008.
