Oh dear....

tyranus · 20 Feb 2008 at 14:40

I'm thinking more sam tyler

It seems with the upcoming releases we all better do our homework and not jump in with both feet.

LoadsaMoney · 20 Feb 2008 at 14:42

Lets change the first 8 to a 9, they'll never know.

Of course they will.

Will they balls, AMD done it.

Oh yeah so they did, LETS DO IT!!!!! KERCHINGGGGGGGGGGG.

Get those boxes back off the truck now, we need to stick number 9's over the first 8's, and get everyone phoned, price has just shot up as its a new higher series.

eyetrip · 20 Feb 2008 at 14:47

Wow... at this rate, Crysis will be playable on max settings around 2015

tutu · 20 Feb 2008 at 14:50

I knew it already as its not a DX10.1 card. :mad:

To be fair to NVIDIA: rumour != fact

willhub · 20 Feb 2008 at 14:58

I thought it was a cut down 8800GT on a G94 chip with 64SP's? :confused:

Surely you could have 2x 8800GT with 1x 9600GT inbetween to have 3way SLi?

Schnippzle · 20 Feb 2008 at 14:59

Quite refreshing to not see the usual lot praising NVIDIA for the refresh / release of a new card.

Yeah but it can't be anything else as the 9 series are 8800's, we all know this.

You are talking about the 9600GT, not the 9800GT.

LoadsaMoney · 20 Feb 2008 at 15:07

yeah the 9600 GT is the cut down 8800 GT.

These 9 series cards should have been out about 7-8 months ago now.

willhub · 20 Feb 2008 at 15:09

Oh, haha I never noticed it said 9800GT, thats amazingly stupid, whats the point if we going to see them performing EXACTLY the same as an 8800GT, this is VERY STUPID DONT YOU JUST HATE IT?? :mad:

LoadsaMoney · 20 Feb 2008 at 15:14

Which is why i said **** this ****, they just taking the ****.

willhub · 20 Feb 2008 at 15:15

Oh well might make a 3870X2 worth it

Talrinys · 20 Feb 2008 at 15:20

That's even more disappointing than most of the other things this company has done recently, this is really pathetic :/

Darkwave · 20 Feb 2008 at 15:26

Typical Nvidia, they quite often re-badge and sell things with a different name.

The 7900GTO was a rebadged 7900GTX with lower mem clocks so it didn't break like 7900s did at the time, and I think they rebadged something else around the 6800 days too.

badbob · 20 Feb 2008 at 15:28

Heh good idea to wait for the influx of used 8800GT's in the MM ;-)

Admiral Huddy · 20 Feb 2008 at 15:35

There’s always hype and speculation before any major card release. I'm sure that NVIDIA won't sit on their laurals and have something bigger up their sleves. It wouldn't make sense as they not only do they have AMD/ATI breathing down their neck but Intel too.

jrodga2k5 · 20 Feb 2008 at 16:18

I wonder if they'll at least change the cooler :rolleyes:

lol
