I'd say wait until December before buying any new video cards:
nVidia NV40 Specifications Confirmed:
Previously thought specs:
Transistors: 175M
Pipelines: 8x2
New rumored specs:
Transistors: 205M
Pipelines:
full 16
That's one hell of a jump.
Wow!
*CONFIRMED*
and . . .
*Rumored*
. . . now THAT's
worth waiting 10 months for.
Hey, confirmed is their word, rumored is mine. As you and I both know, until nVidia announces it or an nVidia exec publically confirms it (is legitimately quoted, etc.), it's a rumor. The Inq's sources "confirmed" it.
Sure, it can all be b.s., but let me point out two things:
1) nVidia's claims of increased performance do
sound rather ridiculous. The only way they'd meet those goals
would be with this kind of a chip.
2) How often is the Inquirer wrong? Tell me the last time they were way off the marker. They're ALWAYS very accurate in the rumors that they hear. Given their track record, calling them a worthless rumormill is just ignoring the facts.
