9800 GTX

Its really too bad, you missed the Black Friday double top secret release, exclusive at only Bob's Computer World in Osceola, Iowa.
The models went on sale at 5 AM local time and were rapidly snatched up by eager Iowans, as reported by the Associated Press.
The retail price was discounted by 10 % according to Bob.
The units, manufactured and sold under the label "uBerLeEt" were actually rebranded nVidia reference cards, selling for 1000 US Dollars each. A coupon was included for purchase of any Hostess products.

Three patrons stated they were going to place the item on eBay this afternoon.:D
 
i already bought the 10800GTX, you guys are so behind the times here

talk about obsolete technology
 
had to line up at 5 am this morning to sign up for the list to get on the in line list of the secret pre order of the specs of the 9800 gtx

They said they'd do the pre order line up for the pics of the card at 5am boxing day, then finally you can do the pre order line signup in feb and then finally line up for one sometime in April... but there was some speculation that that also was a pre order line up for the preorder of only the retail marketing empty display box concept art...

Was the line very long????
There were only three other guys where I went.;)
 
i was due to get mine today, but it inexplicably ended up at HMRC, all i got was some crappy used CDR full of gobbledegoop. :(

HMRC said they'd mail the 9800GTX back to me but i told them i'd rather pick it up myself when i'm in london next month.

I binned the CD, HMRC didn't seem that bothered about it, go figure.

Trying to put some sense in this thread (and failing miserably), we know that it will not be called 9800 GTX, but rather D9E. We also know that it will not be released today and most likely, not even this year.
 
its only 11:30 central time i still got my fingers crossed for today :p

That was quite possibly one of the funniest things I've ever read :D.

9800GTX details have yet to be released, if there is anything out to date, it's simply a rumor.
 
So will this be better than the 9800XT I have in my closet?

I hear that in Japan they just released the 11900 Ultra.

The Japanese model 11900 has had considerable problem with production yields, according to sources in Tiawan. The models that were released are no doubt black-market rejected chips and their value to consumers is suspect.
Gamers in Japan were noted to be surprised at the flames eminating from the card under extreme 3D use.......however, one was heard to say: "maybe some noob in the US thinks the card will be released today and we can sell it to him,BANZI!!!!!":eek:

So at this rate it'll be 2010 before the high-end 9 series comes out.

So until then shut-up about it until it's official :p
 
Anyway the 7 series from SLI is coming soon, and it’ll have a model that supports 3 cards
I guess 3 Ultra’s will do the job
I hope someone will do this and paste his FPS for us :D
