GT 300 due in October?

[Bluescreendeath]

So I've heard the GT300 might launch in October, and features "40nm chip targeting clocks of 700 MHz for the core, 1600 MHz for those 512 MIMD shader cores and nice 1.1 GHz QDR, e.g. 4.4 GT/s for the GDDR5 memory"

Even if DX11 isn't mature, I still feel like I should get it to play DX10 or 9 games maxed out.



Or maybe I should just go with a GTX260 or ATI4870...or wait and see what ATI's new lineup has. (anyone know their release date?)

Might know more on release dates on ATI by end of month. As for nVidia, its all conjecture.
1 thing that looks fairly certain is, ATI should be out first

ATI may definitely be the one with the first DX11 GPUs on the market. There has been lots of speculations, because after all, what else is there. I would be willing to bet ATI (could) have their lineup out before summer is over.

I can't wait for DX11! I was so disappointed in DX10. Even with a magnifying glass to my monitor's pixels, I could hardly notice the improvement over DX9, lol.

The better perf will be nice, but better still will be when the devs start using the tesselation heavily in games

why do i get the feeling the GTX2x0 series never really sold well?

 

[invisik]

That's one beast of a card. Now if only software caught up to hardware.

Errr, because it just didn't?

I'm betting on Evergreen being out before the end of July and G300 in January.

Nvidia beating out AMD with DX11 hardware is highly unlikely. Nvidia pushing DX11 hardware out by the end of the year is a bit more likely.

Note this is not a projection on what series or hardware will be faster.

@BlueScreenDeath why you downgraded to 2.33GHz OCed E6300 what happened to you previous system E8400 9800GTX SLI ?

I sold that system piece by piece.

I am currently a seasonal full time employee at Microcenter, so I'm building a new system at a discount. XD

Try playing the Farcry2 start in dx9 then quit the game and run it again in dx10 and if you cant see the difference then you need glasses.
