Ah, and about the 9600GT 1024MB, it won't make any diference for that card, it just hasn't enough power to use all that memory.

Thats not really correct, you just need to really hit the high quality settings hard to get anything out of that much memory.

Verdict? I'm tired of switching around with nVidia flagships. But IF they really can push out a good card then I'm willing to shell out another $300 to trade my 9800GTX in... and that is IF they are really that good. I highly doubt it, though. It could be like 2-3 fps in Crysis and 500-1000 more points in 3DMark06 or something, but what about the price? The... priiiiccceee...?  I don't need to remind you how much a 9800GX2 costs... do I?
Edit: And rumors got to G200, then down to G100, and the last I heard was that the new ones won't be G100 but would be G102 instead, and then just yesterday, I got confirmation that they wouldn't even be G102! And this kind of reminds me of the 8900GTX and 8900GX2 rumors. They turned out to be 9800GTX and 9800GX2 instead.  (8 switched with 9)
I think these rumors are more like... fanboys' wishes for nVidia to release something really ground-breaking... something that can handle Crysis at insane settings or something. But I face it and I know: a 9800GTX volt-modded and overclocked under water-cooling would be waaaay too extreme already. |
GT200 wafer is hot.
