NVIDIA to Launch GeForce 9 Series in February
NVIDIA is ready for its next-generation GPU launch. According to sources at graphics card makers, the company plans to launch its GeForce 9 series GPU in February 2008. The first chip to roll out in the GeForce 9 family will be the D9E, a high-end product that adopts 65nm manufacturing. The new product will also support DirectX 10.1 and Shader Model 4.1. In addition to the D9E, NVIDIA will release a mid-range GeForce 9 family 55nm GPU named D9P in June 2008.

Though it doesnt make sense for nVIDIA to release the D8E and then kill it off after a couple months with D9E in February. I think they gonna either push back D9E's release to make room for D8E or scrap the D8E altogether and jump to D9E rightaway.
But then again nVIDIA's decision on releasing new cards is sometimes affected by their competition's offerings. Should wait and see if AMD is going to release their dual GPU card or not and if they do how nVIDIA decides to react .
