new card from nVidia ??

[jutnm]

i hear theres going to be a new card coming out thatll be way much better than the 8800 ultra ??? is this true

 

[nepts2]

I think so. I've been hearing about whether nvidia change the 9series to something else or keeping its name.

Obviously, it's not like the 8800Ultra is the last card nVidia will produce.

They are coming out with an 8900 series, and eventually the 9 series.

 

[jutnm]

and when is the launch date for these ??? late 08

 

[Geoff]

The 8900 is coming out way before Q4 2008, although I dont know the specific date. By 2008 the 9 series will probably be out already.

The price of 8800Ultra has dropped a lot, it is now only $580 after MIR

And the prices of 8800GTX has dropped as well, it is now $480 after MIR

Also, both of those cards are factory overclocked, and you get a free copy of Company of Heroes with them..

The 8800 Ultra is fairly new, but the 8800GTS and GTX have been out since November of 2006.
