Budious Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Jesus. What more could they do?NVIDIA 9800 GTX with 5GB DDR10 ram and quad core mem+core? Like seriously. I sometimes wonder if this is a joke. I really think the current 8 Series will serve us for some time. But to each to their own I guess. :/ Please express that view to the SLI purchasers, I'd just prefer to buy a single card solution rather than paying double for a setup that returns 50% or less scalability in most performance scenerios. With that said, someone here will be first on the bandwagon for SLI 9800GTXs I'm sure :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/604130-nvidia-to-launch-geforce-9-series-in-february/page/2/#findComment-589029116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smigit Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I'm going to hold off. I wanted to build my computer this December but the 8800GT is not a powerful enough card IMHO to do what I want to do and I'd rather not have two in SLI if I can avoid it. Since I just started full time work I may as well wait until my internship ends in February and I have more time during the uni semester. The reason I want a top end series 9 for those wondering is because I game on a 24" display at 1920x1200. I honestly don't feel a 8800GT has the legs to run the current games like Crysis and UT3 at close to top settings at this resolution and the new cards which traditionally beat the previous gen in SLI will cost as much as getting the two or close to I assume. The card should hold up better in terms of time too where I think the 8800GT's would look a bit tirred in the teeth 12 months from now in games running at 1920x1200. Thats of course without looking at the new cards specs, but if historys anything to go by the new card should be able to outdo the GT in SLI. That and NVIdia have had quite a long development time for the topend card given that the GTX is already over a year old and the Ultra wasn't much of a stepup architecture wise from that at all.

Zoom7000 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I've got about 6 months to wait before I get enough finances for a new setup. So I guess this will be on my list! Hopefully the GT is out by then!

Ferret Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 This should bring down the prices of the 8 series, so I could afford one of them.

Smigit Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I doubt it'll effect prices alot really. Maybe the GTX and ultra will drop a bit but with the GT's selling like hotcakes theres no need to drop the mainstream cards prices. I'd say with the fact the GT's are selling so well theres a chance they'll just discontinue the GTX and ultra. The GT's quite capable and they can probably get away without offering the GTX if they have a new top end card on the market. Also with the shortages of GT's it may be better for Nvidia to not have the GTX as an intermediate card as it will force people into buying the top line card like they are being made to do currently in relation to the GTX (although risk the customer going ATI/AMD) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/604130-nvidia-to-launch-geforce-9-series-in-february/page/2/#findComment-589029576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted December 1, 2007 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2007 Yeah, I've read that, but I remembered hearing how the next nVidia cards would support free AA like the 360 (and I think PS3, right?) do... guess not. Ah, I remember reading an article about that. In fact I found it. You can check it out here. Similar to the Xbox 360, the G92 will supposedly have a eDRAM chip for 4xAA with no performance hit. This makes sense too since the new standard is 4xAA instead of 0xAA.

Boz Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Finally..maybe with 9-series in SLI we can play Crysis on very high in at least 1024x768 :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/604130-nvidia-to-launch-geforce-9-series-in-february/page/2/#findComment-589029943 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be amazing if true... 4 x AA looks good enough to me!

Elliot B. Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I may upgrade my 8800 GTS 320 MB with one if it can run Crysis in Very High at a good framerate.

GEIST Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I guess I'll hold off on building a new gaming machine then. =p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/604130-nvidia-to-launch-geforce-9-series-in-february/page/2/#findComment-589032575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Frothy Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Since nVidia have not released any information on the new 9 series, I don't see a reason to consider buying one yet. I have an 8800GTS and it works well for me. No point upgrading, might as well build a new PC - with PCI Express 2.0 and a nice new video card then.
