Nvidia Geforce 9800 specs??

http://forums.gametrailers.com/showthread.php?t=139641

is this even considered info...or just another rumor to hype up the media. can this date even be realistic, considering the lack or drivers for the 8 series (there were*), i mean either some has no life or a pretty good person who can predict upcoming specs/models just by looking at the specs and patterns from previous cards and then coming up with a realistic rumor/future product.

any feedback

The Hd 3xxx series, lol. Hopefully they'll fix up r600, it should deliver god like performance on paper, but it doesn't in real life.

Well we don't really know that yet, we don't have an exclusively DX10 game to test either Nvidia or ATi on. And if it gets the bullshit "Way it's meant to be played" then it doesn't count either.

Well by the time next gen cards come out, I bet DX10.1 will be the next popularized advertised support and yet DX10 will be dominated...maybe...

I'll laugh my ass off if neither company can pull their heads out of their asses for mid-range since that is where the money is at. I was kind of interested in an 8800 or 8600 and a 2900 or 2600, but found no reason due to my x1950pro doing just fine in all games I play, why get more frames when the frames you have are stable? 3DMark? LoL...not this guy...those scores can be interesting to bench for the highest you can get, but not worth investing into more expensive equipment just for that cause when the current product does what is needed for the ACTUAL gaming needs. But some disagree, and that's cool, that's why there's different opinions and such, but I see no need for "current gen" cards as for what I see neither are really worth what they are charging, unless running super-hi res max graphics, there's no need aside from 3DM scores.

But maybe next-gen will actually be the real deal for both, it's all talk now, and will be for a while, and even will be after release, it's the actual enjoyment in gaming at hi settings at certain resolutions that have my interest personally. But, in the end, I bet in 5 or so years it's not ATI(AMD) vs NV, it'll be Intel (LOL! I know, but remember they do have some purchasing power ATM) vs Whom-ever was left standing from the "next Gen" or "Gen after that"...I believe soon ATI or NV will die off or be absorbed completely. At the moment due to AMD's issues (similar to Ford's ironically) it seems ATI may faulter, but what if Intel buys them before AMD "possibly" fails, or buys NV because AMD became very successful with their recent CPU's and ATI found the right mix for GPU's? Hard saying what will happen, but there won't be another ATI vs. NV vs. 3dfx. vs. SiS, etc...just won't happen, since to make it now, you have to have the prodigy card to show off technology and the mid-range card that can do some damn good damage for the price...

"Free AA" is a concept Ati introduced with the use of a 10MB "smart cache" found on the Xenos GPU used for the Xbox 360. This high speed cache, is able to process the aliasing found in the image data after it's rendered by the GPU, thus relieving the GPU from the burden of anti-aliasing processing.

I take nVidia will just use a "smart cache" a la R500 on their G9X series, thus giving them the capability for "free AA".

If that's true it's going to be one amazing card....

But as Kursah said, let's hope they can get some good mid-range cards out.

yeah still the date for the supposidly new nvidia cards still seems pretty farfetched, but then again, techonology will always be better each day, we may have thee latest stuff, but someone would be like "yeah that was like 4 hrs old, i have the newest model"

All these features that the 9800 have, the HD2900XT Already does. Honestly this sounds like a rumor instead of fact, give me a picture dammit >.>. Remember NDA = NO PICS/INFO ALLOWED TO BE LEAKED.

The problem is that on paper the HD2900XT was absolutely amazing, and while it's good, it's not as good as it was made out to be.

So I'm just going to wait until the NDA is lifted before I get my hopes up about some uber card.

dx10.1 is basically another version number. But seeming how the higher the version number the more likely it will better support recently old versions. or the higher the version number the older versions could be obsolete, but if nvidia or ati went that route of having dx10.1 not work with brand new born dx10 cards that would be dumb in general
