G90 for christmas?

[yakyb]

was reading this

and was wondering if anyone here knew anything about it?

8O Lets hope two things:
3x's the performance and not 3x's the price!

Hopefully they are not blowing smoke up our butts; I would love to have what they were talking about in my new computer.

you forgot something
3x the power consumption

I hope they won't come with four digits $$$$.
& also they won't need 1KW PSUs.(Cool & Quiet are the must-have options!)
Anyway, i`m not gonna upgrade my graphic card anymore unless i upgrade my whole system to a better CPU/Memory/Mobo/HDD/..., so i`m waiting for the Next-Generation-AMD's/Intel's-Midrange-Cheap-OverClockable CPUs.
Come on ATI, where is your HD3950XTX? :twisted:

No no no...no! Not expensive please!
I`m not a rich guy, after buying the GTS i can hardly even pay the taxi for reaching the University!(believe it or not i can't afford my lunch for now! )
But i don't care for my lunch(as i`m fat enough! :tongue: ), i`m saving money to upgrade to some Next-Generation-Low-End-Class-CPU.(Like what i did when the Athlon 64 939 appeared & i bought a 3000+ Venice (OCed it to 2250MHz)as that was an awesome Low-End-CPU!)


Not my wife...Not my children...Just my Computer! :twisted: (lol, i don't have wife or children anyway!)

Yeah it's already been posted and thoroughly disected;
http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/Nvidia-claims-G92-Geforce-9800-Teraflop-beast-ftopict238326.html

It's less than 2X the claimed GFlops of the GF8800GTX, and raw shader power doesn't necessarily translate into performance, as we see in the R600 which has more useable Gflop throughput than the G80.

So it's nice to see improvements, but don't go overboard with expectations, this will probably be more like an X1800->X1900 boost than a GF7800->GF8800 boost.
Noticeable but not a giant leap.

May the God help us!

Do u guys think it will stay in pci-E??

 

[The_Abyss]

Let's hope so. It certainly won't be going into AGP at the high end.

I decided to skip on the 8800GTX and get a 360, but hopefully my P5B Deluxe + 700W Thermaltake will be able to handle the 9800.
