djBon2112 said:I believe it was actually the other way around: the 8800 was nVidia's response to the x1950 XTX which just blew them away.
Night Black said:Yeh, but there's also rumors that nVidia is planning to release a refresh of the 8800 series to counter R600. The 8900?
Competition is good. Keeps computers affordable.
Alright, I was proven wrong.ManicOne said:Not true. Original NV plans did not include an NV47 based 7900. 8800 tech (which has been in development for over 4 years) was originally mean't to debut at that time (sans DX10), but wasn't ready.
If you honestly think a chip of the 8800's calibre could be developed in the time period you speak of, then you are deluded.
