When will the first Nvidia 8800GT(X) demo benchmarks arrive?

Hi guys, after my stupid post yesterday for which I'm a bit sorry (no more alcohol for me while posting) as this site is not ment for those subjects I would like to know if in the next two weeks we will see the first benchmarks of this beautifull G80 chipset. Anyone got any clue?

im still not too sure when it is being released even on paper but usually a month or so before is a good measure for preliminary test i would think.

i am still not sure how "beautiful" this chip is going to be as the details are shady from what i have seen. there was that leaked specs but until everything is confirmed i'm not going to make any presumptions.

of course if you look at intel and there latest CPU. thery were very cocky about its performance and released, wrongly IMO, news of its perfromance and what not very early. if these chips are to be released come november time then nvidia arent making too much of a song and dance about them which is probably nothing strange but who knows. perhaps they have something hidden up their sleeve.

hmmm, sorry if i have missed this but have nvidia relased the final specs on these.

Gears of War? you sure your not drinking again?

What are you aiming at? What is wrong with Gears Of War? It will be a very good game. Maybe not your taste but still. The Unreal 3 engine is a powerfull engine that is capable of putting big cards to it's knees.

Ok here is why I said that. You will need a Xbox 360 if you plan to play gears of war.

I think you have been drinking my friend..... this is what Epic games wrote :

Eurogamer: You did exactly that with Halo, though, and that's the point. You yanked it off PC and made it an Xbox exclusive.

J Allard: No, no. We published Halo on both PC and Mac.

Eurogamer: Yes, but that was about two years later!

J Allard: We didn't talk about sequencing. Gears Of War will be on both platforms, but it might be on one before the other. That's a little bit more of a game time decision.

i just hope this 600 dollar video card runs oblivion at more than 40 fps in outside environments..unlike the 7950gx2.

the 18th of this month is the date of first benchmarks...nvidia holding some sort of press conference and will be demoing the card i think

I only said it because I didnt think gears of war would be coming to PC. Even if it does it will be a long long time.

Yes indeed this is what I ment. It will be a hungry beast...let's just hope it will not eat us all.

There was a benchmark with the 7950gx2 IN QUAD, 2 gigs of ram, core 2 6600, and the settings were max except no hdr, 2x AA and 1024x768 resolution, and outside environments only got a MAX 40 fps .. thats horrendous concidering that its a 600 dollar video card they used...60fps is complete smooth at all times, 40 you can see shuttering, especially when enemyies came into the picture ....just what you said..
"this should offer GOOD performance in all games" ..listen, i dont know if your rich...but if i spend 600 bucks on a peice of hardware..i dont expect it to just run a game "good"..i expect it to run smooth with all the eye candy at all times..after all, thats the video cards purpose. Either manufacturers start lowering the prices of video card on arrival, or just make the performance straight out perfect...they have the technology, but they arnt stupid..they know people like us are willing to spend hundreds upon hundreds of dollars to get the new generation video card...so they have free range to make it as high as they want. so the day they start making prices fair, meaning, half of what they said the 8800 will cost, that day im sure will never come.

My single X1900XT does better than that at those settings so wtf?

I don't understand how you can blame the graphics card makers for how oblivion runs.
Somebody could easily write a game that no graphics card could handle for five years. Will you then say that all cards are crap for the next five years?

Sure, they tell ya it's from the dailytech article. But anand, Wiki, and others are quoting the specs like they are fact. So I'd be surprised if they are off by much.

lol, well, if you think frankenstein is your baby...then hell let it be your baby. No offence but I think this G80 will be beautifull according to the specs and yes....they are just predictions but a site like this site and the other important sites like anandtech....do yuo really think they are giving the wrong specs? Noway....these sites do their homework before talking. The proof will come with the benchmark so let's wait and see what will show up. I think that's more wise instead of making fantasy stories.

well, if you say this you must have some background proof revering to earlier mistakes made by tomshardware and anandtech. I never was able to catch them in the act making stories up like their will be no tomorrow.

I´m listening dont worry...but are you listening to me....you say tomshardware dont lie...but when you say these sites like tomshardware and anandtech take info from other sites you are wrong....toms and anantech are sites which are visited by too many people....they can´t afford to talk noncence. They have connections which other sites dont have. Many sites have to guess....and some sites know it for sure when they post....this is how they become famous sites. Believe me....The G80 will be a beast

np, I was just telling these two sites are never far off....offcourse there can be very tiny differences but not that big. I never caught toms/anandtech in the act of making big mistakes. Anyways who cares.....it will be ultrafast. that's for sure.

as far as i know they confirmed the specs

I think Frankenstien was very ugly and lacked charm.
This was probably because he was manufactured out of different parts and
was murderous.

I thought that was important to say.
