Nvidia’s 8800 GT Card Launches Late October
October 2nd, 2007 by James Hyde in Gear, Hardware, PC
The graphics wars are heating up, and like every other industry, the holiday season is where all the big battles are fought. Both Nvidia and AMD/ATI will reveal new high-end graphics cards in a few months, but according to reports, Nvidia will introduce another mainstream card later this month, the 8800 GT. The new card will supposedly be in the middle between the 8800 GTS and the 8600 GT, performance and price wise. The card is set to launch on October 29, price is unknown but a sub-$250 price tag isn’t unlikely.

I just bought a 8800 GTS 320 and I am going to wait for at least 60 days to see what newer high end cards come out and make use of the step up program.

I thought of getting that one as well, how is the performance, especially on large resolution monitors (I have a 1650×1080)?

I would wait another month, the G92 (9800) are coming out with 65nm chips(xbox360/PS3) use. Also, the new intels/amds look amazing. Jan, you can get a Quad Core with 12mb cache for only 300 bucks. SO much faster then the Q6600/Q6850xtremes. Also, Amd lookins good too.
The dual cores from Intel will be only 200 bucks for chips faster then the 1500 chips. Crysis wouldnt even put up a fight with these chips.
DDR3 by the end of the year will be at 2000mhz, god that’s fast. Plus, 1600 watt PSU are coming out.
Also, James/Anuban get the newer boards. At least get the 680i board. These support 16x sli, this will rock on 32x sli then 8×8x sli. If you have 200 bucks for a board, get the Asus Black Pearl edition, this has PCI e2.0, this will help out a lot.
PCI e 2.0 can use PCI e 16x cards.

) I was wondering if any one knows what kind of PCI express going to be used by ATI HD 2950 and Geforce 8800 GT. I heard its going to be PCI-2.0. If that’s the case, can I use a-PCI-2.0 card in my PCI-Express 16x slot?
2) Can the ATI 2900Pro or Geforce 8800GTS out put 1080P on to a TV(SAMSUNG Model FP-T5084) or is it just 1080i? When I ask that question from ATI they said it can, but when I go to the flowing manufacture’s website, it said “HDMI output support all display resolutions up to 1920×1080i only”. Is there some other brand that can output 1080p using HDMI cables?
