I think it will be later than November, probably early next year. November is only just under three months away after all.

Where did this November date come from anyway? A forum post somewhere?

Then again Nvidia may want to get a card out to coincide with Crysis, in which case it's anyones guess.

By the way, is the OP really a Pro Wrestler?

I totlaly agree that Nvida wil want to launch with Crysis, as the game itself will sell the new GPU and vice versa. I dont know if I should consider buying a 8800 GTX or wait for the new card, as Crytek could add dx 10.1 support for Crysis. They know a pile of money is going to be made, and gamers will no doubt fork out.

This is one of the reasons I sold my x1950xt a few weeks after buying it (plus I should have told the wife about it which was really lame of me

)

Will mean I will - likely - have to buy for crysis to run decently:
PCI Express 2 motherboard
DDR2/3 (2gb minimum)
Maybe a SATA drive depending on the m-board.

and then buy nvidia/ati card.

I hope the new nvidia/ati boards actually do support 10.1 though. Peeps think it will likely be November for G92x series.

It'll cost as much as any new top end card has cost in recent years - £350-£400.

I really hope you are right about that £350 - £400 price point, I was guessing more like £500, I'll deffenitly be getting a 9800GTX or whatever it will be called if they are £350

A lot of money no matter which way you look at it

Will really have to save hard for that!!!

i think you mean the pointless and waste of money 8800 ultra, which costs a lot more for hardly any difference in performance

The ultra is just a faster GTX , I mean 8800GTX as in core type.

Not that it matters.

I will too, but I seriously doubt the rumoured specs are correct.

Totally right... it was very low of me not to. She said she would have been ok with it if I told her, and even bought it for me! Such an idiot sometimes

Anyway, got more money for it than I bought it for so I can't complain, and will keep an eye out (when in the good books) for a replacement G9x/r700 or whatever I can get for bang for buck.

I'm really looking forward to see how well these new nvidia cards are gonna perform.

You must be joking right?

Your built looks pretty new to me judging by the spec in your sig.

Yes because your current rig is surely underpowered and is in desperate need of replacement

lol. As other have already pointed out. It was ment to be being built in september.

Currently im on an amd 3200+ and a 6800GT. Are you sure i dont need an upgrade? lol

have they not really changed in price then? O joy i can get a G98GTX when they come out

jaykay · 6 Aug 2007 at 15:03

The 8800Gtx were about £450 at the start, but that was due to avaliabilty.

If Crytek did that there'd be uproar, would be ******* hilarious though.

Be funny if your GTX struggled in new games soon, because the Ultra is not just the same.

It has a Rev3 core, most run about 690mhz (mine is 655 stock) and the memory is very expensive 0.8ns Samsung so runs about 2400mhz (mines is 2250 stock I think), these gains could be the difference between a few 10's of FPS which could make a game playable instead of laggy

I bought it as I could afford it and the GTX has been out ages at time and I simply will Step up using EVGA anyhow.

HighlandeR · 6 Aug 2007 at 23:38

Yup no way Nvidia will launch something in Jan/Feb.... no ones got any money left after the holiday season, exactly why ATI tend to launch then :eek:

Nvidia will definatly launch with Crysis in November... theres simply put too much money to say no too.

Tis a shame Nvidia guys cant produce a 9800GTX mod for Crysis one designed to blow the lid of the word Graphics

Put it this way, if an 8800GTX is doing crap in a game, the Ultra will be too...

Yep, that's a rule

Really, if people want an awesome system, they can get an 8800/2900 right now, and with prices going down, the 640MB 8800GTS is at a wonderful price level now, it's only getting to be a better deal every day. That will run DX9 perfectly, and if my tests with the World In Conflict beta are to be trusted, it will run DX10 very well too. Now there is the question of DX 10.1, but let's see, probably no developers will absolutely depend on this, as there are no DX10-only games AFAIK planned yet, only vista-only games, which doesn't mean the same thing. So in other words, you could get a DX10.1 card after they have matured and fallen in price, mid-late next year probably, and rock the DX10 card now, good deal? yup

You think so ?, ever bit of power helps, more core and memory mhz, and at the end of the day more mileage ADDED to fact I was joking to all the Ultra haters (some jealous ?).

Its a fact the Ultra will run more FPS for longer than a GTX, before it needs retired, I hope you get 25FPS in Crysis and I get 35FPS LOL
