That could be right too. We (supposedly) have pics of a G80 card. So I dunno. Then again, my birthday is in Q2 so ya never know.

Thats true, but thats not how things happen. Take Vista for instance, it would have been great if they got the consumer versions shipped in November-December, that way new PC's will have Vista on it. But there not shipping until Q1/Q2 of 2007.

well... i prefer them doing the job right and take a bit longer then anyway tbh.
I mean... if its really good... many people (or at least enough) will buy it anyway,.. regardless the release time.
sure... it would sell better at crysmas time... but immagine how much the immage would take damge if the program is buggy as hell

DX9 cards will be able to play new games such as crysis but they will not run on DX10.

In wikipedia it says that GeForce 8 (G80) will be released in mid-November 2006, and R600 will be released in early 2007.

But has it been confirmed by nVidia and ATi? I think not.

Wiki is just speculation of what people think. It may turn out to arrive then, but then again it may not.
