Some insight into the new G80s coming next year?

So looks like 5 more models heading to market for next year;
G80-200, G80-400, G80-600, G80-850 and G80-875
Not sure what order they would come in, but I would assume they are somewhat in numeric order, just not sure if the 850 and 875 are the GTS and GTX refreshes or something more like a GS and GT version.

Ah, there is no such thing. They just threw them in there to make ATI panic.

Hmm... Perhaps it might be that affordable DX10 cards may be closer than I thought. This could be a good thing. ATi/AMD, though, probably isn't feeling all too frightened; they're still set on R600, and if it's anything like what the rumors would have us believe... G80's in for a whuppin'. Plus, of course, they're getting poised to recieve massive royalties from this holiday's shipment of Wii consoles, as well as new Xbox 360s...

At any rate, I'd just take a stab and guess that we might have a GeForce 8200, a GeForce 8600GT, a GeForce 8800GT, and possibly a refresh of the 8800GTX. Possibly also anotehr might be a mobile version of a chip.

Add to that the statement that the R600 will launch as a complete line (top to bottom), then the nV middle-bottom and ATi middle-bottom will come out around the same time, and voila, value DX10 gaming, just when people need it the most (when vista launches and we can all watch the new boob-physics of the new DX10 demos )

True hadn't really thought of that part of the deal, of course the royalties aren't as plush as nV got with the original Xbox, but they should be good, and based on volume, likely better than nV's PS3 royalties. Maybe ATi's Xmas isn't so bad after all.

I think that lineup makes sense, although I'd add a sub GTS card (like 8800GS/GT/GTO) instead of a mobile version (I think it'll be a different driver codename, and also a little soon yet for the mobile versions IMO, but I hope I'm wrong).

Put me down on that list ! should provide a nice upgrade from my X1300.
