there has to be more refreshers as at the moment the gfx card market has stopped dead due to the GT.

Pritty much what i think. The question in my mind is, will they be before chritmas. It would be logical to release the GTS and GTX at the same time. And possibly an ultra?

Hate them. They make my teeth feel funny.
If i currenty had a GTX id just keep it. Or perhaps sell for a GT and pocket some money if i got a good deal and had a smaller resolution. But as i dont i think i might as well wait to see what comes up.

The smart move would be to shift the GTX now like many are doing...
With the imminent release of the new GTS that will easily be as fast if not faster than the current GTX the GTX will plummet in price making getting a new rev GTX even harder on the wallet.
Imagine this you sell your GTX now for 260 then the new REV GTS comes out that is faster for around this price,you get a faster card and resale value to boot for no outlay.
And if the overclockabilty of the new GT is anything to go buy the GTS with the extra SP's will be a very nice card to have.
Although information on the revised GTS is scarce there's even less to suggest that there's a new GTX on the way so personally I wouldn't hold my breath that one will be on the way
The situation as I know it is that a revised G92 based 8800GTS will be out next month with a whole new series (9800) arriving early next year (February/March)

Lol easy you crack me up, its like being in groundhog day when I read your posts!
Joking aside, your speculating that the refresh 8800GTS will be £260.00 on release? How did you number crunch that figure? seems a bit low to me, even the Hag says thats too low.
How much was the original 8800GTS 640MB when it was released, wasn't it around the £300 mark.
According to the Mystic-Hag the current worth of the latest nVidia 8800GT cards is estimated to be:
£190.00
Shocker! but even at the price they will sell like hotcakes until the refresh parts are availble to sell (in quantity).
I could sell my GTX for the new rev, but really I can't be arsed to even bother taking it out the case, let alone shifting it across the country then buying another card. Plus I haven't got a spare card either.
I'm just gonna hold out till the new cards, as in the new series not newer revisions, really I doubt there's gonna be a significant increase.

While in some ways it seems logical and quite possible. It also seems strange that there would only be a GT and GTS. What would happen to all GTXs and Ultras? They would be harder to get hold of and perhaps the ignorant people of the bay comunity would pay even more for them!

It has to be cheaper than the current GTX thats easy enough to work out.
You can buy a GTX for 299inc now.
I'd consider it, but like all releases I won't buy on speculation, I want to see cold, hard frames before I drop the cash.
Plus i'm not moving until I can get at least a 100% improvement on my 2900XT - so it'd have to be a bit faster than the 8800GTX.

im awaiting the new GTS's unlees the new GTX will be out mid-late november for about £300 or less.
My timing is terrible, my PC goes as loads of great games come out and i cant use them, then when i get the cash to get a new PC i have to wait for the new hardware
