8800 GTX is still more than enough for even Crysis IMO based on what I've seen.
You've seen Crysis running on a 8800GTX?

I wonder if they might be having a problem because it's supposed to be a new architecture AND going to 65nm at the same time. I thought Nvidia didn't want to ever do that.

anyway there's really 2 big games comming this year that I'll be playing. Bioshock and Crysis. This is assuming that UT2007 is a january release.
UT2007 now called UT3 is a november release - at least that's what's splashed all over the latest videos.
name aside we will see if they can hit that target date. I'm guessing no, but who knows.

New architecture? I haven't heard that. Interesting if true.
For four years and $400 million in R&D, I expected at least 2 cycles based off of G80 (NV50).
I thought they were just adding shaders and clockspeed.

I haven't heard anything about more shaders. But it does have a 512bit memory bus which would change the way the core communicates with the memory. That would take some architectural changes I believe.
I've read that G92 is a completely new design of the core. Nvidia didn't bother with a refresh of G80 because they really had no need to do it.Originally posted by: Dribble

Not many:
8800 GTS 640mb memory 320bit bus
8800 GTX 768mb memory 384bit bus
so they can already widen/narrow bus and increase/decrease memory proportionally, hence
9800 GTX 1024mb memory 512bit bus
is just the same tech but bus wider again and memory upped to match.

the VRzone article states that G92 will replace the 8800GTS to compete with AMDs RV670 aka 2950Pro. to me, the G92 will just be a die shrink of the G80. just like RV670 is a die shrink of R600.

That's funny, I thought G92 was 9800. At least that's what Fraud said last time.Originally posted by: theprodigalrebel
As of this 23rd August article, Fudzilla claims G92 will be branded Geforce 8950. The VR-Zone article posted today says the same.
What are the odds Fuad might be right?
We know that G92 will end up significantly cooler and faster from very successful G80 but we don?t have much more details. AMD won?t have any other high end card to fight this product until Q1 2008.
