Thoughts on the new GTX?

MumboJumbo · 5 Nov 2007 at 18:10

i was debateing posting it in another post but desided to make my own as they are all swamped with GT talk.

What do you think about the new GTX?

Are you waiting out for the GTX?

When do you think it will launch?

Im hoping for befroe christmas but i have a fealing it will either launch in december with the GTS or january. I hope its not after christmas as i wont be able to play any christmas games on the current pc i have and i wanted to put either a GTX or two GTS's in my new system.

I hope it's a big improvement over the current one, and I will foam at the mouth if it's single slot.

Not really. I've ordered a GT and will probably sell my GTX, but if the new GTX is really good and the price is right then I'll sell my GT and buy one of those.

Don't think there is a GTX coming out :/
Thought they were only releasing a GTS now?

Or are you thinking the 9800s?

People around here keep saying the GTS and GTX are getting refreshes.

I'm keeping my GTX until we see some benchmarks for the new GTS and GTX then I'll decide whether or not to sell up.

MumboJumbo · 5 Nov 2007 at 18:14

No new GTX you say? That seems suprising. Every nvida range has a GTX in it. can you imagine just a GT and a GTS, no GTX or Ultra

i gues there could be a GT2 coming out.

:EDIT:

As to be expected this is getting a lot of posts and i only posted it a min ago lol.

If you're talking about the 9800 series, then I'm very much looking forward to seeing what Nvidia has for us and what ATI/AMD are doing to win us round this time.

im thinking ' i have no idea what its going to be, so its pointless me worrying about it'

Mittens · 5 Nov 2007 at 18:19

it would be hellish if it didnt come out until january

MumboJumbo · 5 Nov 2007 at 18:21

Nope im not talkign about the 9800. Just talking about the new G92 revisions of the current G80s

Lmao. In that case, I wont be so happy that I just got my G80 GTX

. To be honest though, the performance increase can't be more than 10%?

Lmao. I think if a new GTX does come out its by far more likely to be more then 10%. The new GTS is said to be on par with the current GTX and possibly ultra style. It all depensd how much those extra shaders make a difference on the GT.

But what lets them both down is their 256bit memory interface instead of the current GTS with 320bit. The GTX and Ultra is 384bit.

I recon though if they make a GTX it could be very fast indeed. If not ill get two GTS's in sli and be done with it.

I don't care about it really, I'll wait for the next range of cards instead, not another slightly upgraded version of what I already have.

well why ask then?. it's the kind of discussion where people will just throw random numbers around for 50 posts or so and by the end of it all...we still know nothing. *i* think that *i* will most probably have one. but i know no more than you do.

....so seriously, why bother?

bfar · 5 Nov 2007 at 18:51

If a new GTX does eventually arrive, I think it will be hot on the heels of the next gen, i.e. G90.

MumboJumbo · 5 Nov 2007 at 18:52

I hope it does arrive as im going to be buying a new card before chrismas. The 780i mobo should be around to with PCIE-2 but thats really the only difference so not sure if its worth the extra cost. Depends how much it is.

Point is i started a post to try and find out more. You came in saying you cant see any point in disscusing it. therefoer there was no paoint in you posting because you dont want to discuss it so dont bother posting instead of just trashing my post just becuse you think your so high and mighty.

pegasus1 · 5 Nov 2007 at 18:58

I think it may or may not arrive and could possibly be faster or slower than any other card that we know nothing about, other than that im not going to commit further.

Rackerz · 5 Nov 2007 at 18:59

If there is going to be a new one then I hope that soon afterwards we see a new series of cards.

LoadsaMoney · 5 Nov 2007 at 19:06

I expect there will be a GTX refresh, as the GT has came out and killed every card out there from both company's, GTS will come out and be faster than the GT and the GTX we have now, new GTX will come out faster than the new GTS so they have a full range of cards again to choose from, bit crap if theres only 1x card on the planet you could buy, which is what we've got at the moment in the GT as nothng else is worth buying.
