When will the the 8800GTS come out?

8800GT~8800GTX, new 8800GTS should be faster right, I think I'm gonna wait longer

Who knows, it was rumored end of November i believe. 29th to be exact but thats rumors, although the 29th of October rumors for the 8800GT proved correct.

It's sooo confusing! (well, to me anyways)

eVGA has a new 8800GTS out NOW that claims 96+ piplines whatever that means.

It doesn't say 112, or 96+12.... just 96+.

I think the new GTS will also have 256bit memory so the SSC GTS from eVGA is not the new 8800GTS since the memory bandwidth is higher than the original 8800GTS.

Why would nVidia want to drop the bandwidth from 320 to 256 on a NEW GTS?

Wouldn't that be a downgrade?

Cost reduction?

not really, the 8800gt only has a 256bit memory interface, and look how well it performs....

Heh, so for the revamped GTS, up the pipes to 112 (like the GT), then down the bandwidth to 256 (like the GT), and slap a GTS sticker on it.

Why not just make scrap the "revamp" and just pump out GT? and slap a GTS sticker on the GT?

I think the new GTS is just going to be the old one with 112 SP's rather than 96. Both EVGA and BFG already have announced those cards on the website so I think that's what the GTS refresh is right now

 

[alg7_munif]

Even the new RV670 is said to only have 256bit memory, and that is a downgrade from 512bit of the 2900XT

See, that's what I was afraid of. All the new GTS is going to have is the upped pipes (to the same level as the GT, but under GTX).

eVGA's revamped GTS 640 spec sheet. MSRP = $400

I guess, I'll have to wait for the benchmarks to see HOW the 112 pipe GTS compares to the 112 pipe GT (bandwidth (320vs256) and memory (640vs512)being the difference). Oh, and about $140 more than the GT.

Firstly I don't see where does it state 112 stream processors and secondly I doubt that eVGA will forget to state that the card is a PCI-E 2.0 card so I think that the card in the link IS NOT the new GTS.
