Hi All,

I'm planning a new computer build sometime around Feb 07.

I'd love to have a nice DX10 card in that system - or maybe two in SLI.
That said, I'm not too impressed with the launch lineup of G80s - too big / loud / hot / power hungry / expensive.

I'm wondering when we can expect to see the next lineup of the DX10 cards to start appearing... probably named the 8600's i guess? I want a card that takes up a single slot, a single power connector, and doesn't sound like a vaccume cleaner when on. :D

Any info? speculated dates?
 
Something I read (which is bookmarked at home and I am not there :( ) suggested that we may have to wait until late winter/early spring (March-ish). Honestly nVidia is in no hurry as they have until then to milk the G80 line before R600 is released. Once R600 comes out then we should start seeing the G83's and G86's, but I can't see them coming out much sooner.

I do hope I'm wrong though :)
 
There are rumors however that ATI might release the R600 within this month...but then again, its just a rumor. I wouldn't expect R600 to debut until 07.

Source?
 
My sister's friend's uncle's brother-in-law's wife's cousin's brother 3 times removed.

In other words...I don't exactly remember, but i could have sworn to god that i read somewhere that R600 might debut in nov.

I think that was an old estimate, before we got word that ATI was "delaying" R600 (not really delayed since a date was never announced, but pushed back nonetheless).
