The new High-End G.P.U.s are coming...are you ready?

[Annisman]

So, simple question: what's everybody doing to get ready for the new GPU's (9800GTX ect...)

Personally, I am working 40-50 hours for the next 3 weeks while I am on school break, should have enough by February for that 9800... Anyone have any weird ways of saving money, maybe holding back on the kids lunch money for a few weeks?

 

[3Ball]

Well I am just hoping I will be able to step up. My father purchased the vid card in my sig on the 9th or 10th of December so with any luck I will be able to nab a step up through evga on one of the 9800 cards. If not...oh well, its still alot better than my old X1900XTX and I didnt have to pay for it. lol

Best,

3Ball

Personally, I'm waiting it out. Me and my x1900XT are going strong, and the last performance upgrade I got a 250% boost in performance for $200, and I want to see that or more. I can't wait to see what cards spawn from these for the mid-range.

 

[Evilonigiri]

Can't afford it.

So nothing for me. Going to wait for the 10000GTX or whatever.

 

[mahoumatic]

Waiting for something like Mid-class 9600 to out-perform the current 8800GT~

 

[dragonsprayer]

well i replaced the gts 640mb cards with the g92 - so who needs them!

dual gpu - i be crossfire - ing those

 

[systemlord]

The rumored 9800GTX won't be released until NVidia's new duel (2 G92's) GPU card comes out. The finished product will have two connectors, one 8Pin and one 6Pin. You really think NVidia is done milking their current G92 GPU's?

they have much more incentive to simply increase supply for their 8800gt, since that would bring prices down, and it would then be a superior product to the 38-- series from ati since they already hold the High end performance crown

 

[Hatman]

I doubt you will see these until mid next year.... there really is no reason for them to release the any sooner I thought they were just bringing out 8800GS and soon the dual 8800GT.

 

[trooper1947]

If you go research the web a bit you'll get another shocker ... NON GPU VIDEO cards are going to be coming out !

 

[aznstriker92]

?? And what do you mean by that?

 

[spuddyt]

yes, please elaborate, because to my mind, what you just said is that video cards which don't process graphics are coming out, so what do they do?
edit (GPU - graphics processing unit right?)

 

[starcraftfanatic]

TESLA! GO TESLA! YEHAWWW!
It's basically just a GPU chip put into a PCI-E slot that instead of rendering images, it renders date (i.e. instead of the CPU).
Since it has 128, 256 or even 512 SP's, it can basically compute a lot more data.

And that would interest me why? You just said, "NON GPU VIDEO cards are going to be coming out". How then can you call it a video card? Ok time to put the crack pipe down. :lol:

 

[teh_boxzor]

yeah go supercomputers! woot! TESLA is going to break all FLOPS records!

This is what I was referring to .... and I detest drug users ..... I think drug dealers and pushers should have an automatic death penalty !

True can't be called a video card as such .... integated cpu/gpu .... but in a sense it is the video system built in in future systems making the motherboard a MB/video card array . Totally different than today's integrated video ! Just read the articles .... I don't like the idea at all ... but since when has manufacturers cared what in the h*ll we think or want ?
By the way I don't think ANYONE cares what interrests you .... HAHAHAA ---

 

[trooper1947]

yes but those are still gpu's, they may not be discrete gfx cards but you said no gpu 's which ain't true.

As I said I mistyped it .... hey I make mistakes .... but I admit them .

 

[Eric667]

I'm actually not getting ready at all for the next latest/greatest set of GPUs. Believe me I'm very curious to how they perform and waiting to see the improvements over the current selection of GPUs, but for now I shall remain content with my current Vid cards and don't plan on any major purchase agian until late 08 or even early 09 (next rig revamp).Currently the most powerful GPUs in my collection are an overclocked (800/2200) HD2900 Pro 1Gb and following that an overclocked (600/1450) 7950GT 512 Mb. Both which remain pretty capable of playing the games I enjoy.Though if I was preparing myself for the next upcoming GPUs I'd be doing one thing, waiting for the CPU horsepower to be released and invest in a good water cooling setup to push it even further. Only then would I purchase the new cards wich by then would already be replaced with something faster.

 

[trooper1947]

where did you say you mistyped it?

It should have said " no gpu video cards " ... no video cards in the system with a gpu .... does that satisfy you ?

Take the N off non ... done explaining it ... like I owe you an explanation ---- drop it dude !

Okay my typing is horrible ... was looking for an opinion of what is probably coming in the future ... should have put those links in .

 

[purplerat]

I just sold my G80 8800GTS640 for $310 and bought an EVGA G92 8800GTS for $330(after rebate). I'm hopping that the new cards come out in the next 90 days so that I can Step Up. It would be nice to be able to put 90% of what I spent in 2006 on video cards towards 2008.

No .... they'll still milk the h*ll out of us and so will ATI . Neither one has given us a good reliable card yet that the consumer does'nt have to figure out how to make reliable and stable in most instances . They're really p*ssing me off and I hope others too . Everytime we turn around they release a new "best " card and with as many problems as the one before it . Christ we don't have labs and bucu techs and we figure them out alot better than they do . Same old story ... huh ?

 

[trooper1947]

no gpu video cards? that doesn't even make sense, i am not having a go just trying to make snese of what you typed in relation to your links.

One more time to waste my time ..... NO VIDEO CARDS WITH A GPU !!! CHRIST GET A LIFE !!!!!!!!!!

I don't really give a sh*t what you think anyway .... GO AWAY and bother your little sister ! :lol:

They're going to make the cpu and gpu all in one ..... hopefully not in all their future productions . Sounds like some stupid idea to me . That will surely sink their ship ....

 

[gamebro]

Trooper 2 things--

1- I disagree... While there is some evidence to suggest we might never have stand alone GPU's in the future, there is also good evidence to suggest otherwise.

2- As a outside observer, I gota say, you really come across as being very rude, loud, and obnoxious person....
Some of the things you've said in this thread---

" By the way I don't think ANYONE cares what interrests you .... HAHAHAA ---"
and---
"I don't really give a sh*t what you think anyway .... GO AWAY and bother your little sister !"


It is all very immature, unnecessary, and unprofessional. =(

 

[ryanthesav]

yay 9800gtx

As I look into my crystal ball I see a G92 based duel GPU graphics card with two PCB's that will have one 8Pin and a 6Pin PCI-Express connector.
