Some actual graphics card news! OMGBBQSAUCE!

X-bit Labs has (or more accurately, had) the scoop on Nvidia's coming 9800 series (sound familar?) video cards. I am not going to copy everything from their story here, but here are some tidbits:

512 bit memory interface
1GB of GDDR4 on at least one of the high end cards
65nm process from TSMC
Built in audio chip (Probably to match ATI's HDMI output in the HD 2000 series)
Launch will occur in November 2007 with the 9800 GTX and 9800 GTS parts
I am not gonna tell you the price of these cards! Click the link to find out.

Wait a minute! This news is from June 3rd 2007. :( Has anyone seen any more up-to-date news on G92? I found an article from June 29th, using the G92 Wikipedia entry just now.

Its about time nVidia moved to 65nm. ATI already beat them to it with the RV630. Ironically, AMD was the one being stubborn in moving down to 65nm with their processors.

Why do you discredit this amazing site with such pathetic rumors? Xbitlabs did the same thing.

GeForce 9800 GTX will be over two times faster than a GeForce 8800 Ultra in real world games and applcations.

if tahts true then the 9800gts(unles they cripple it too much) will be the sweet bargain :)

Goodness. I'm sure it'll be incredibly expensive, but think about it. You'll never have to buy another video card for YEARS. Assuming you go with a good manufacturer, anyway. A card like this will stay up to snuff with mainstream games for a LONG time...

Wow!!! I'm planning to get myself an 8800 series GPU, too bad I have to wait till the 9800 series cards gets released and buy either the 9800GTS or enjoy the 8800 series cards price drops... Yihuuuu!!!!

Sounds good but will the 9800 GTX compare to the 9800 GTS. I think you are better off buying the more expensive for more performance.

I think by the time Nvidia release it, ATi will release another new Radeon HD series, like Radeon HD3000 XT or Radeon HD3100, something like that...

now they just need to support Fold@Home when these come out, maybe put them on the installation disk. We would be seeing some results MUCH MUCH faster.

I think ATi will be releasing HD 3K series much later than nVidia will release their GF 9 series .
Well , it sounds about how I imagined it , but I'm fairly certain that it's BS . I wonder what the actual specifications will be like .
