Geforce 9 Series

P35 does already support the new PCIe standard

http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2007/06/06/p35_supports_pcie_2/1

things are looking up

Cant find anything on the Intel website to confirm that either and though Id normally trust Bit-tech the chipset diagram in their article doesnt say anything about PCIe 2...

http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/P35/index.htm

PCI Express* Interface
⎯ One x16 PCI Express port
⎯ Compatible with the PCI Express Base Specification,
Revision 1.1
⎯ Raw bit rate on data pins of 2.5 Gb/s resulting in a
real bandwidth per pair of 250 MB/s

PCI Express*
—6 PCI Express root ports
—Supports PCI Express 1.1
—Ports 1-4 can be statically configured as 4x1, or 1x4
—Support for full 2.5 Gb/s bandwidth in each direction
per x1 lane
—Module based Hot-Plug supported
(e.g., ExpressCard*)

EDIT: Even the chipset spec dated June 2007 only mentions PCIe 1.1 - perhaps Intel are referring to 500mb/s in duplex and thats where the confusion arises...

Thinking about it, i can't see the 9800's coming out in November now either as is only 3x months away, if they were, then there would have been some info floating about by now, look at how cards in the past have had specs leaked, shots leaked etc..., months before they were due out, yet we've had absolutely nothing at all about the 9800's, as Jokester said it was just a post on a forum.

Is a bit odd definatly but then I recall the 8800GTX being quite a mystery just before its launch, think give it till October and id bet something will arrive

I have little faith about the 9 series considering the source, doesn't really add up.

What doesn't add up?

The supposed info about the 9800 coming from a single forum post.

I dont see the point on getting a PCI-e 2 card to run it on Pcie-1 port better buy some decent 8 series like GTX or Ultra, play Dx10 such crysis and others at good eye candy and when you have the money, buy a PCIE2 mobo... my next upgrade will be until Intel realease the next Socket replacing 775. by then I should upgrade to pcie2, ddr3 and the new intel socket

8800GTX and not run with good eye candy in DX10? cool, or why not just get a 9800GTX, bump the PCI-E to 175Mhz like PCI-E 2.0 is supposed to be apparently.

Seems mad not to get the G98 considering it will still run better then the G80 and when u get the new motherboard it may run even better. although by what others are saying it will still run just as good in PCI-E as PCI-E 2. I still dont understand that one but there you go.


Also. Where is the "source" to prove this came from just a forum post? And whos to say it wasn't from someone in the "know"

Followed as many links i could but i couldn't find the post on the serposid source forum of the newzeland pcworld forum.

Still, would xbit labs really post this out just because some serposid post on a forum? mmm i cant imagin them puting their reputation on the line for that.
