According to [H]ard OCP, Nvidia is planning to release four new 9xxx graphic cards during the first half of 2008.
Around February/March 2008, GeForce 9800 GX2 will be released. This card is meant to replace Nvidia's current top performer, the GeForce 8800 ultra, as it would be "at least 30% faster".
GeForce 9800 GX2 can be easily described as two 8800 GPUs with 65 nm die and connected together through an internal SLI link.
During the same February/March 2008 timeframe, Nvidia will also release GeForce 9800 GTX which is meant to replace GeForce 8800 GTX. Little is known about this card, but we know that it will support triple SLI.
About a month later, Nvidia will release GeForce 9800 GT but we know nothing about this card yet.
Later during 2008, GeForce 9600 GT will be released. This card should fall below GeForce 8800 GT, but outperform GeForce 8600 GTS. It should retail for $169.
All 9xxx are based on Nvidia's current 8xxx offerings. The 9xxx naming only suggests the die shrinkage to 65nm.

You stupid people keep buying them while they laugh to the bank. They sugar coat all the specs while making sure each card only improves certain games by a certain amount of frames which is probably hardcoded into the drivers. SStop buying these f**king cards so they will release decent hardware at a decent price. They are just saturating the market with nonsense.

Anonymousat 16:34...Your the dumb ass, i HAVE a ps3 and sure i like it a lot but my gaming pcs kick its ass in EVERY way so stfu and go get a job instead of trying to justify your reasons for not being able to afford the best gaming platform out there because that is all your trying to do.

30% increase only? no thanks. I'll buy it when it's at least double the performance of the previous gen :-)
Nvidia's Plans For First Half 2008 Revealed
Remember thats not 30% As per usual it will be Up to 30% as is always the case with these BS High end cards.My 2600xt plays almost every single game smoothly. I don't give a s**t about the frames so long as the game plays smooth for most of the game I'm happy. So take your bs high end cards and shove them up your asses.

Actualy thats good news .. I dont care about the 9xxx but this means the 8xxx will be alot much cheaper now .
Nvidia's Plans For First Half 2008 Revealed
I agree, this is too soon a release time, and too little improvement. NVidia's support for current generation cards in SLI has been pathetic. They're just getting greedy now.

first post!!!

What happened to the old tradition to only release a new GFX series when performance can be doubled?
Nvidia's Plans For First Half 2008 Revealed
agree with below poster they should wait till they make a card with twice the power before releasing a new onecause 30% increase to me isnt worth the amount these cards will cost but lets see the benchmarks first.
Nvidia's Plans For First Half 2008 Revealed
they will keep releasing cards with only slight improvements as long as you n00bs keep buying them!
Nvidia's Plans For First Half 2008 Revealed
I never have understood why they release the most powerful one first...Screw the GTX and its apparent better GX2 whatever bull. All I want is to SLI a couple GT's...Get faster clock speed like that anywho...

Never buy the first gen of cards that have a new tech, they always suck(the 5xxx with ps2.0, the 6xxx with ps3.0, and now the 8xxx with dx10).
Nvidia's Plans For First Half 2008 Revealed
Interesting, I was going to buy 2x ATI HD 3870's but now I'll wait a couple of months for the 8800gt to drop in price and get 2 of those instead.
