Further, the king of the 9 series will be the GX2...

With the launch of the mid-range GeForce 9600 GT marking the debut of Nvidia's GeForce 9-series, graphics card makers have revealed details of the rest of the cards Nvidia is scheduled to launch in the coming months.

At the top-end of the 9-series cards will sit the dual-GPU GeForce 9800 GX2 which will launch on March 11 this year. This will be followed by the GeForce 9800 GTX and 9800 GT between the end of March and beginning of April.

For the mid-range Nvidia will offer the GeForce 9600 GS in May, according the sources.

In June, the company will launch the value-level GeForce 9500 GT based on the G96 graphics core with a reduced 128-bit memory interface. To complete the series, the GeForce 9500 GS will launch in July.

It would seem no true next-gen will be seen for some time.

christ is that it

Anyone know what the pipeline setup will be for them? better be impressive

 

[Luigi]

Well i believe the gtx is just a faster 8800gts...

This is further backed up by the fact the gx2 is set to be the next high end card, so that has 256+ dodgy sli... so anything below 200 i would say

 

[Hatman]

I cant wait to see if their SLI results reflect that of the 9600GT...

People were always complaining about 8800GTX only tri-sli now. Now they can do it with G92's

 

[Mr. Smith]

256 bit mem interface on high end is crap (my card included).

 

[Hatman]

Tbh I think the whole 9600gt with HALF the shaders of the 8800GT yet almost catching it shows just how limited those cards are by that 256bit, its ridiculous.

 

[NickS]

I'm happy, my GTS 640 STILL isn't that out dated

 

[Luigi]

Nors my GTX ... coming upto a year and a half old now... one of the originals!!

[Luigi]

I got mine when it came out for about £300

 

[Luigi]

No fair are you being serious? how come?

 

[firefly]

Nvidia seem very complacent.

Wonder how far off the intel graphics cards are?

I reckon they'll do to nvidia what their cpu's did to amd.

 

[Hatman]

Nvidia are quite capable of using their current architecture to make a much more powerful card then they have using G92+384bit, why they don't I don't really know, guess they don't need too.

A friend of ours in the US of A

 

[FleX.overclock3d]

loving my card, for crysis it rocks!!

 

[Brooksie]

Oh dear, friend was looking to get a 9800GTX but after I showed him this, he is a bit sad now, so I told him to get the GX2

 

[Luigi]

Well if you're going to order again make it a +1 (however the way things are going i dont think i will be upgrading for a while)

 

[Doddsy]

I can't remember where I read it but the only official leak I'm aware of was that in nvidia's internal documents the term 768M was put with the 9800gtx. I can't see them effectively lowering the specs of their top of the range single card.

 

[Yeungster]

Not impressed with this news at all...
