8800GT (G92) out October 29th

[clocka]

Nvidia is bringing forward the launch date of its upcoming GeForce 8800 GT (G92) GPU to October 29 from the original November 12, targeting AMD's new Radeon HD 2950PRO (RV670) as the major competitor, according to sources at graphics card makers.

With G92 and RV670 having a tight performance/price ratio, Nvidia's earlier launch should give the company an advantage in the market, noted the sources.

In addition to G92, Nvidia will also launch the G98 GPU to replace the GeForce 8600 series, however the launch date has not yet been set, added the sources.

Replacing the 8600 series. Does this mean that having a GTX will out perform Nvidias newest card ? Wheres the logic in that !?

Exactly some people fail to realise that the majority of profits for video card companies comes from the mainstream segment.

think it will be inbetween the 8600gts and 8800gts cards and hopefully include all the new technologies e.g directx 10.1 etc. out with the old, in with the new.

as has been said high end card account for a tiny proportion their revenue.

only reason they produce high end is PR
