NVIDIA To Release G92 , C72 And C73 In November
According to VR-Zone, NVIDIA is to release its latest GPU, namely the G92, in November. It doesn't really come as a surprise due to the fact that NVIDIA's timetable placed their next GPU near to the end of this year.
NVIDIA will also launch its next generation of PCI Express 2.0 SLI chipsets for both Intel and AMD. The C73 and C72 chipsets for Intel support 45nm Yorkfield and Wolfdale processors. For AMD, there will be the MCP72, supporting AM2+ Phenom processors. The main differences between the C73 and C72 are FSB and memory speed ( 1600MHz FSB and memory for the C73, and 1333MHz FSB and memory for the C72 ). Each chipset will come in 2 flavors, the "XE" which supports 3x16 SLI is priced at $150, and the "P" version, which supports 2x8 SLI, is priced at about $100. The MCP72 series is likely to be the only chipset to support Hybrid SLI.

However, a new video card already when they just put out the 8800 ultra?
In any case the G92 is propably to come in Low-Mi-High range versions.
( I recall certain people saying that Nvidia wouldnt release their newest card near the end of the year....)
I bet only the high end model will be release first, with cheaper models coming some months later. Who needs a new G80 mid range card when you may get a GTX for a good price once this new card is released? ;)
Just kidding :laugh:
The new chipsets sound nice, wonder if I will end up with a newer build sooner rather then later....
3 times the speed, they might actually profit for once. :laugh:
@Dippy.....agreed...something powerful would be nice to save them
( And i doubt that AMD has something 3 times as powerfull as their latest CPU )
I think :)
I don't see why it wouldn't make sense to create an even larger dominace of the market.
That rumour has been around since Feb, many didnt beleive it, I was sucpicious when I saw it in the Inquirer (as most are), then it started appearing in NV forums and Nvidia people were kind of adding to the rumours....nice marketing ploy I thought :eek:
Remember that companies Always want to have cheaper solutions...Now if they were to release the 9000 series and price them over 1500$ then ok it could be 3 times faster than the 700$ 8800 ultra.....

People must have really have bad memory.
and then again, it would probs b cheaper to go ati and link a few hi end cards up and beat their offering... for less than it would cost for 1 nv card
then again, we gotta wait for pricing, it may be a good deal! who knows..
