Does anyone know when the 9000's are coming out? And does anyone know what price range they will be in?

Thanks!

same price as the 8800's that came out last year

and no one knows when the cards are coming out but Nvidia a while ago said they would release new line of cards every year, so if that statement runs true we should expect them around December

Normally I would agree with them coming out around december but I would have expected to at least have a little info on the 9000 series card by now if that was true. I think they are probally going to put off releasing the 9000 series till mid next year since while the 8800 ultra cant max out every games graphics wise right now (at extreme res of course) that there is no calling for an even faster card right now and of course they have no competition right now at the high end anyway.

heard first quarter of 2008 and about same price as 8800s when they were new.

I heard:

• Nov
• Dec
• Q1 2008
• Q2 2008
• 2nd Half 2008

Last I heard was Q1 2008

Last year, the 8800's came out in November, there was no official word from Nvidia till late october. All the rumours have said that SOMETHING is coming out in November so I'd expect to hear something official over the next 3 weeks.

Well, AMD will present its new line, RV670 (HD2950) at the of november so I don't think NVidia will just stand in the corner watching during holiday season. I think we should all be expecting something (I believe it will be mid-high end, like an 8700 cad) by the end of this year.

Mid-range card would be nice from Nvidia. Those 8600xxx suck.

I just want a card that will be DX 10.1 compatible.

i want a card that will run Crysis at high resolutions and totally max settings with no lag and 40+ fps

Hmmm...I just ordered an 8800GTX. ...I have an 8600GT right now that is...well, useless for gaming. Should I cancel the 8800GTX and wait?

Yes, you should.

NewEgg already shipped, they're too fast. Oh well the GTX should at least be decent, I'm not a big gamer anyways.

There are normally some leaks of information. There have only been ones from theinquirer.net.

Don't hold your breath or anything... no one knows what may be popping out... or not.

consider a rma for it have been said that ati has a nice refresh coming soon that might be worth waiting for. seriously.
you would save a little i think (maybe hundreds) and have a much less hungry and noisy and heaty card.

by the way the gtx is a big gamer card (or big pocket card)

lets face it. the gtx is just an abnormally sized card not meant to make money with. it s just like the cadillac escalade.

LOL, I just went with the GTX so I could actually function in games I might try. It seemed like the best solution for 2500x1600 for less than $550.

However, if ATi or nVidia come out with something nicer w/in the next 2 months, then I'll know what to ask the wife to give me $$ towards for Xmas.

...besides its gonna be cold before too long, the GTX will serve as a nice space heater.

LOL, how true that is

Halcyon - don't send it back - no-one knows for sure what is coming out, when, or how well it will perform.

Just look at the HD2900PRO - that surprised everyone.

for something that performs well it sure does!

the only good thing i find good about the gtx which is totally personal is that indeed it would serves as a nice source of heat during those cold days

Oh, I'm gonna keep it, I don't need to have the very best graphics card, anyways, ...just wanted to try gaming @ high res on the 30". If it doesn't fit in my Thermaltake Mozart TX case (yes, I did measure) then the Dell XPS600 will be getting a nice upgrade.

...now if these new cards from ATi and nVidia are single-slot designs and way cooler (spelled quieter) and less power hungry then I'll definitely have a reason to look into that when the time comes.
