Out of curiosity when is the 9700gt up to 9800gt coming out...I refuse to buy a 9600gt and I would like something from the new series instead of the 8xxx series...
 


The 9700GT comes out on April 1st and will be nVidia's first Quad-Core GPU, to support Crossfire and SLi.

It will feature 2048MB Video memory (512mb per core) and is expected to retail at around £300 / $550.... although dont take my word for it.
 




well, they don't have to take your word for it, because the Inquirer posted some benchies of this monster and it is a beast. 26K 3Dmark 2006....with a P4 nonetheless. Well, I don't actually have a link but if you don't beleive me, you can take his word for it.










Devise: OMG BS WTF OMG PWNZORD



Oh, and for all you kids out there... :non: Yea, that's right he's flipping the bird at you! Turn your head away from the scourge!
 



The 9800 series IS the 8800 series. With minor tweaks.
 

I bet people are gonna wait for ATI "true quad core" GPU 😗
 
The good stuff is coming out when ATI releases their R700 line of video cards. Nvidia is just rehashing what they already have unfortunately and calling it something brand new.
 


dont make me get the screenshot images and benchies to prove it :lol:
 


😴 wake me when NVidia gusters up some ingenuity...
 


You will have to contact your future self for that hookup 😀
