Okay so each + signifies a die shrink... 6 die shrinks in a year? That's bloody phenomenal!

Ha ha.

Irrespective of current hardware, Nvidia is playing a cautious and sensible game with the GTX+. Yes, it is a new release but offering little more than lower power and heat (or higher clocks) however for them it is all about perfecting the 55nm process to then migrate all their other cards over too.

The success of the GTX+ will not be in how well it sells, but how well it works.

Damn I was waiting for the 9800GTX ++++++++++++++++++

Only another month to wait you say?

 

[CBJ]

Ha ha.

Fancy seeing you here!

Anyway, I'm more interested in how the prices turn out. The rumoured pricing (in USD at least) would really put the cat amongst the pigeons, but taking a really cynical view those prices could just be rumours put about to act as a spoiler for people considering jumping ship to ATI.

They're skipping a generation and going straight to the 9800GTX +++++++++++++++++++

What about the customary renaming to 10800GTX?

Nah, it ill be a 800GTX. Slower than the GTX280 but a higher number so must be faster for the noobs to buy

 

[willhub]

It should be 880GTX after that many die shrinks and the core will be so small you will need like the worlds most powerfull microscope to even see it.

lol!

Nvidia deserve a bit of stick. They did me wrong when I got a 7800GTX and they released the 7900GTX a month or so later!

something tells me you didn't research before buying

 

[MinDBlanK]

Nah, it was my first proper - from scratch - build. Wasn't a member of the forums before that. How I wish I was...

Nvidia's marketplace spamming is nearly as bad as email spam.
