So when R Nvidia next-gen cards going to be released?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia (More info?)

The 6800 still can't be the top-of-the-line Nvidia offering right? I'm
thinking of waiting 'til the nex-gen consoles come out and then looking at
buying a new video card for my aging rig.

I've got the PSU, but not $1,000 to spend for a game.

Actually, I'm stuck with AGP for a while so SLI isn't an issue for me. I
upgraded my rig two years ago [Mobile Athlon @ 2.592 Ghz, 1GB PC3200, 9800
Pro]) and it's still capable of running Doom3, HL2 and Far Cry so I'm not
buying into PCI express or 64-bit computing just yet.

Me too.

Whilst I can still manage 50FPS @ 1280x1024 (I use a LCD) then I can't
see the point, especially as Win64 is still struggling on the
driver/software front. Only change I might make is to go from IDE to a
Western Digital Raptor SATA drive.

-You wanted an argument? Oh I'm sorry, but this is abuse. You want room
K5, just along the corridor. Stupid git.

Which hopefully the mainstream releases of the 7800 range should do...yay! I
think...
