you suck
nice. Time to upgrade I guess. *drool*
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

It seems that ATI is well ahead of NVIDIA when it comes to GPGPUs. Still, NVIDIA is working hard on its CUDA design, which may be released with the new GeForce 8900 series.
CUDA actually stands for Compute Unified Device Architecture. It is similar to ATI's Firestream GPGPU project, apparently
being a fundamentally new computing micro-architecture for the GPU, in order to solve complex computational problems across consumer, business, and technical industries. CUDA can't really work without an upcoming dual Geforce 8950 GX2 configuration, as these cards can deliver more computation power than current high-end server CPUs.
Although Nvidia entered the GPGPU market later than ATI, it looks like the Americans are quite happy with their G80 series general processing capabilities. As of now, G80 is still the fastest graphics chip on the market. It has 128 unified shaders and can process a lot of pixels. But those shaders aren't necessarily proficient at rendering complex graphics, as science calculations can easily be run on a graphics card disguised as a small shader program. Now, Geforce 8900 GTX is expected to have 25 percent more Shader power, and thus, dual Geforce 8950 GX2 configurations should provide a lot more Shader and Pixel power.
Chinese sources claim that the upcoming GeForce 8950GX2 card will sell for $599 USD. It is rumored to be the successor of the previous 7950GX2 and will come with a total of 512MB GDDR-4 memory per GPU. As part of the new 8900 series, NVIDIA plans to introduce the GeForce 8900GTX which will replace the current high-end 8800GTX. It will ship at a retail price of $549 USD and it will also see the inclusion of GDDR4 memory which allows NVIDIA to raise the clock speeds to outrageous 2200MHz frequencies. The power boost may also come from the new 80nm manufacturing process.
All this points to the fact that NVIDIA is already prepared for the AMD/ATI offensive. AMD/ATI is expected to take the covers off of their range of upcoming R600 graphics cards in a couple of weeks.

Why should they replace the 8800GTX and 8800Ultra atm? ATI isnt in any range with their X2*00 series. Whats the need? And about the 512MB? Well if Nvidia builds such a thing, similar to the 7950GX2, then they will place two 8800GTS GPU´s on it, each with at least 320MB...
I dont think so. Not in this settings, not in the next two-three month.
That "news" are from the 15th of February in the original post. The Ultra hadn't even been out then, so ... uhm... NO?
VR-Zone have some good scoops sometimes, but I'm calling BS on this one.
There is completely no need for Nvidia to release these in the 8xxx range, and the news from Computex and other press releases is that the next step is to the 9xxx series just before Christmas.

I wish they would release it thoughbuLLet_t00th wrote:

Yeah, so do I, but I suppose it would be Nvidia shooting themselves in the foot. They'd be wiping out their current range and prices would be completely dictated by them becasue of no competition with ATi.cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:

Omfg asshole. >
and I JUST ordered my 8800 gtx!!!!
damn you cyborg!!!
Actually, meh. I'll just stick with the 8800 for a year. It'll run most games at max with good FPS, so it's fine.
Then I'll get the Geforce 9 series
