video card prices going down.

[Tempered81]

man i don't know whats up, but geforce cards are cheap as heck now.

8800 gtx 299

8800 gts 229

8800 gt 178

9600 gt 151

all in hotdeals forum.

there's also an e2180 core2duo for 49

LOL cheap!

It's possible that NVIDIA is going to end of life all 8-series cards... The 9600GT fills the market niche for the 8600/8800GT, while the 9800GTX/GX2 will round out the high end and replace the 8800GTS/GTX/Ultra. It will be hard for them to sell anything that starts with an "8" for full price after all the 9-series cards launch no matter how close in performance they are to these "next gen" parts. It makes sense for them to replace about 7 different card variations with 3 new cards, both for their manufacturing cost and for consumer comprehension.

I'm holding out for now, as tempted as I am, and I hope I'm not making a mistake.

exactly..

with the way the dollar is, it makes me want to drive to buffalo, buy a dozen cards, sneak them through customs, and sell them for profit.

I think the new 9600 series cards are comming mid March correct?
9800gtx,9800gts,9800gx2

 

[n7]

Yeah the crippled abomination of a lineup nV is releasing will be here soon.

I'm so annoyed i'll likely be waiting for AMD's 4000 series.

CF isn't entirely out of the picture now that it supports multi displays as well, since that was one of the big reasons for me to avoid CF/SLI...

 

[imported_JohnJohn]

this is why i love amd

 

[taltamir]

you love AMD because nvidia prices are going down, further increasing the price/performance lead it has over AMD?

I thought the 9800 series was just a 8800 refresh. Just like the 7900 series was a refresh of the 7800 series?

Should be like a 20/30% increase with a lower power requirements with a cooler operating temperature.

Where you expecting more?

7900gx2 to 9800gx2
7800gtx to 7900gtx = 8800gtx to 9800gtx
8800gts to 9800gts
7800gt to 7900gt = 8800gt to 9800gt
7900gs to 8800gs
8600gt(s) to 9600gt

Makes sense to me.

The ultra variant reached EOL long time ago i think. Newegg doesn't even have them anymore. Looks like nVIDIA is trying to clear out its G80 inventory.

Truth is, the only reason nVIDIA screwed up with their lineup is because of AMD/ATi. RV670 was suppose to be launched Q108. But did it? anwser is no and they were here much earlier than expected which exposed a weak lineup of nV cards for RV670's intended market segment. Thats why you see the G92 as the 8800GT. It was suppose to only have 96SPs and probably have been named 8700 series. Since the final GT card surpassed the old GTS, they had to release another version of the GTS based on G92.

nVIDIA even states in their latest CC that at the early launch of the 8800GT, the margins were horrible (production cost related issues). But they manage to sell 2 million of these cards and manage to fix alot of cost related problems regarding the GT.

But since nVIDIA had to rush out to meet its competiton so that it doesn't lose alot of its market share due to the RV670, and in doing so they created another problem. The next gen geforce 9 series seems more dull looking than ever since the same cores used by the 9 series are already in use. They pretty much killed their own hype regarding the next gen cards. The high end seems lackluster (holding my final judgment on these cards til they are actually released), but the 9600GT is still quite the product though.

By the time we get to Q208, its not going to be as confusing as it did.
In the highend we have
9800GX2 $~599
9800GTX $~349?
9800GT $~249

The midend
9600GT/GS $~179
9500GT

The lowend
9500GS
9400?

 

[taltamir]

so nvidia is horrible because they were reusing names in their die shrink refresh.
Now nvidia is horrible because they are going with new names (GF9) like everyone claimed they wanted to begin with?

The 9800GTX is a die shrink... so lets say its almost the same core as a 8800GTS 512MB. Which is almost the same performance as a 8800GTX with:
1. New features (not included in the 8800 refresh)
2. tri sli support like the GTX
3. Signficantly lower power
4. Significantly lower cost.

tick-tock cycle people. As far as I am concerned, the 9 series is nvidia correcting their mistake of reusing 8 series names for their die shrink.

And if there is performance improvement, well that's just icing.

The ultra variant reached EOL long time ago i think. Newegg doesn't even have them anymore. Looks like nVIDIA is trying to clear out its G80 inventory.

Truth is, the only reason nVIDIA screwed up with their lineup is because of AMD/ATi. RV670 was suppose to be launched Q108. But did it? anwser is no and they were here much earlier than expected which exposed a weak lineup of nV cards for RV670's intended market segment. Thats why you see the G92 as the 8800GT. It was suppose to only have 96SPs and probably have been named 8700 series. Since the final GT card surpassed the old GTS, they had to release another version of the GTS based on G92.

nVIDIA even states in their latest CC that at the early launch of the 8800GT, the margins were horrible (production cost related issues). But they manage to sell 2 million of these cards and manage to fix alot of cost related problems regarding the GT.

But since nVIDIA had to rush out to meet its competiton so that it doesn't lose alot of its market share due to the RV670, and in doing so they created another problem. The next gen geforce 9 series seems more dull looking than ever since the same cores used by the 9 series are already in use. They pretty much killed their own hype regarding the next gen cards. The high end seems lackluster (holding my final judgment on these cards til they are actually released), but the 9600GT is still quite the product though.

By the time we get to Q208, its not going to be as confusing as it did.
In the highend we have
9800GX2 $~599 $649-699
9800GTX $~349?$449-499
9800GT $~249

The midend
9600GT/GS $~179
9500GT

The lowend
9500GS
9400?

[in bold, my predictions]

i think they will go for another "killing" in the high-end - if it can blow away AMD's top [single slot] solution,

Pretty good analysis

G92 cost less to produce than G80. Doesn't mean that it always translates to market price, but the only one card that can command the price premium looks to be GX2. 8800 GT/GTS SLI will beat the crap out of 9800 GTX, and those can be had for $380~450 as of now. Of course, as appopin mentioned earlier there are many ways for NV to manipulate performance of a given SKU, but with so much suspect/FUD built up regarding 9 series, experts will take more critical views on what's going on underneath. I would say;

9800 GX2: $500 MSRP (initial gouging/OC version up to $600)
9800 GTX: $400 MSRP
9800 GT: $300 MSRP (What's the spec of this card?)

Unless they filled in some blank spaces at a later date ,it looks like the [dev0194 8800 Ultra]
was well planned well before the [7900GTX Dev292], if you can use this as a time line.
