If their past release history is anything to go by, don't expect a new high end card from them for at least another 12months
.But nvidia know that the start of winter is the best time for sales...If their past release history is anything to go by, don't expect a new high end card from them for at least another 12months
Not that many people want to spend lots of money upgrading there PC at start of summer....

Thats what people were saying last november and it didnt materialize.
They didn't need to release a new highend card last november....
As there 8800gtx/ultra cards where still the fastest cards out and sales of them were still ultra high..
Yup, supposodly their 1teraflop card that was meant to come on nov was the gx2, coming up on 4 months late. =/
Well we know this cant be the sum total of 18 months work, I have another theory, they've all been sat around a 30" tft playing crysis on max everthing @100fps with the cards that should have been released.
My Theory (its a risk, ill take it):
ATI havent provided much of a threat, so nVidia havent seen any need to really push the boat out. I mean, TBH, these cards will come out, and they will sell... at the end of the day if nVidia make money their happy.

Well thats cool for Nvidia i wish i had some shares... lol but it doesnt help me with my 24" tft and burnig desire to buy some new games and upgrade my video card.
There some new games out worth buying
Yeah seems like it. I bought my 8800 GTX second hand in members market about a year ago (upgraded from a 1900XTX) and it is still going strong. I probably won't replace it until the end of the year.Yup, looks that way. Very underwhelming this time around.
I can't remember owning a graphics card for two years

Not sure whats come out lately i dont even check anymore, but just about everything from crysis on.

Hmmm, or possibly they have something bigger.
Think about it, release some rubbish as the "next" generation then 4 months lter release the next-next generation kicking everything in the nuts.
I'm not saying that is what is going to happen, but it sounds right.

I've just looked up that memory, it's GDDR4 with a speed of anywhere between 0.7ns and 0.9ns depending on which specific chip it is. It's also packaged as 16Mx32 which, if I'm not mistaken, means the eight chips on the board gives you 512MB.
