G92 will be updating your 8800 series in November.

DigiTimes is sticking their journalistic neck out onto the chopping block by reporting on a specific date (November 12th) for the launch of the G92 parts. In this analogy, if DigiTimes is wrong, Nvidia fans will get to behead Monica Chen. Check out their (very) short news post for some of the neato G92 features.

Props to Rick for keeping his mouth shut on all things related to the G92 series while we were at PAX. Something interesting that he emphasized more than once during the Hardware Panel is that the price points are pretty much fixed, but as new cards come out customers will be getting better performance (and maybe less heat due to fab shrinkage) at each price point.

EDIT:

Apparently VR-Zone has some addtional details, so check it out.

256bit and replace 8800 GTS ? Unless it's got a shitload of shader horsepower and 1000 at memory ( the 8800 GTS has 64GB/s at a 384bit memory interface , and you need 1000 memory clock to get a 256bit interface to that bandwidth ) , it will fail at outperforming the 8800GTS .

Yeah , it does run at 1 ghz , but it's memory bus is 128bit . And it doesn't have enough stream processors either .
