Next batch of cards?

Post by Tim Burton »

When is nVidia releasing their next round of cards? I really want to upgrade, but I have read that the 8800 doesn't really have that great of performance with Dx10. So I figure it is probably better to wait for the next round.

Also any clue as to who will come out on top with the next batch? ATI or nVidia?

I know people are going to say, "You will never beat the curve, just buy a card." I know that, but limited funds means that it is best if I can get the next one.

Here's the latest I've heard about the upcoming cards.
Next-generation GPUs are the fastest things on the planet -- if they were released a year ago

Traditionally the Fall graphics refresh has been the battle of the titans -- ATI and NVIDIA both would debut behemoth video cards in an attempt to snag the headlines from one another.
Much of that changed when AMD acquired ATI last year. Not only did ATI miss the Radeon HD 2900 launch window by almost six months, but NVIDIA's high-end GeForce 8800 became the undisputed ultra-high-end GPU as well.

This Fall, we will not get an ultra-high-end replacement from AMD or NVIDIA. Instead, November will be a clash of the sub-titans. NVIDIA's mid-range G92 will go head-to-head with ATI's RV670.

Wonderful. Hopefully in 3 or 4 months they'll start the war up again and get another round of ubercards on the market.
