NVIDIA G92 GPU Launch Date Brought Forward

NVIDIA is bringing forward the launch date of its upcoming GeForce 8800 GT (G92) GPU to October 29th from the original November 12th, targeting AMD's new Radeon HD 2950PRO (RV670) as the major competitor, according to DigiTimes. With G92 and RV670 having a tight performance/price ratio, NVIDIA's earlier launch should give the company an advantage in the market. In addition to G92, NVIDIA will also launch the G98 GPU to replace the GeForce 8600 series, however the launch date has not yet been set.
