Nvidia's GeForce 9,000 series roadmap revealed!

Oh yeah this is exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks a lot for the info. Ha ha ha and a guy on another forum thought 3 way SLI was going to be done for with the 9800 GX2 now another card is getting the 3 way capability. Nice!

GeForce 9800GTX 256 bit ?!???!?!?!!!!!
Are they INSANE ? WHY ? :(
High res bandwidth limitations coming our way?

@NotMe
Nvidia has learned that they don't need more than 256 bit right now because they have found ways to improve their use of the bandwidth. Check out the graph titled "New Compression Technology" on this page:

Also there is this:

Will the 9800 GTX perform like the HD 3870 is to the HD 2900? if that's so GPU designers just made the names of graphics cards meaningless as they have nothing to do with probable performance.

Evil Incarnate --
Im glad you posted that - it eases my mind slightly. Although I dont understand why they dont make use of the slughtly wider 320 or 384 bus AND the new compression technology? It just seems sensible to combine the two ideas that really enabled the last two cores to excel.

If the chips aren't going to use it, why waste the consumers' money?

I would tend to think there will be improvements, especially considering the buff of the 9600 GT over the 8600 GT. I hope I'm right!

@anonymous, you shound send your resume to nvidia. really.
no, really!

It looks like the roadmap forgot the mobile versions. The 9500M GS is already out.

No AGP variants to come? AMD did just release a top end car on AGP. NVIDIA can't be asked to compete?

agp is dead. GET OVER IT.

@ nick
agp is old dead tech, its time to move on and nvidia knows that, and im pretty sure that anything coming out in the 9 series would be bottlenecked by agp a lot.

AGP is dead?!? really. Haven't you uber geeks been saying that for five years and then a AGP card comes out and you go apesh1t!? LOL

@ Mach5Motorsport

...............agp is dead

I have an AMD 2600 1.5GB RAM /w ATI X1950Pro AGP 512MB and recieved 5640 3DMarks on "3D Mark 06". Very respectable for a single core and AGP 8X system. AGP can still play the new games, just not at the insane 16x AA at 1920x1440 levels.

Shhhhh. then the HD 3850 AGP doesn't exist.....it's all a dream.

Yeah i agree with striderzorness
