    Doesn't really reveal much. I could have told you years ago that after the 8-series, the 9-series will come out.

    Only between the hours of 4:00 and 4:03.

    I don't know, 5 digits is about time to come up with a new naming scheme.

    Ironically enough, that may not actually happen.

    Ten-Eighty-Eight-Hundred Gee-Tee-Ex doesn't really roll of the tongue as well as Ninety-Eight-Hundred Gee-Tee-Ex.

    They may go the same route ATI did, once they hit 10000 they revert back to sub 1000 with some sort of added prefix.

    lets just hope they don't try anything like "fx" again.

    anyone remember what happened last time they tried fx?

    geforce 5 series... *shudder*

    Hmm I wonder if the 9800m GTX will have 128 shaders as opposed to the 96 of the 8800m GTX.

    By the way, what is g92, g94, g96, g98? Sorry if it's a dumb question but I am not familiar with that. As I understand it's the size of the core right? Does this have anything to do with reducing the size of the GPU so that we may see higher end graphics cards in 15.4" notebooks?

    They are different core models which the graphics cards are based on. The size of the core does not get smaller in sequence, you will have to read up on the individual specs of each graphics core if you want to find out if 15.4" laptops will get the 9-series equivalent of the 8800m GTX.

    Maybe, maybe not. It`s a toss right now, everyone is guessing and all. The most considerable fact is that the 9th series seem to be mostly refreshed 8th series,and that just might be enough for the 9th series to work in 15 inchers,be it mainstream or high end gpus.

    We should have a vote to name nVidia's next line. :p

    On the more serious side, I wish that both ATI and nVidia, along with the respective card makers stop touting VRAM as much as they do. It's absolutely misleading to the average consumer when they see "256 or 512" emblazoned on the front of the box and think that this number indicates performance.

    How about numbering the cards based on the average FPS they get in Crysis at very high?

    Yeah... well, I heard a rumour they're gonna start with a 'K' as in the K series (10 series)... So a 10800 would be a K800 (more like a Sony Ericsson phone :p ) :D

    I posted something about nVidia names once... darn it... it was really good too...

    I believe they will just follow with prefixes or something totally idiotic

    nVidia K1000
    nVidia 1K500
    nVidia 8K400

    Or what I think would be easy but COMPLETELY confusing something along the lines of
    nVidia omega
    nVidia alpha
    nVidia genesis
    nVidia liquid

    aaah... forget it... we will see later on :D


    YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME... ugh... I spent a couple minutes typing this post ... and then I find out everyone already mentioned what I just said... :O !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My money is on Bob. Bob GTX will have at least 256 SP and moast definitely need less power than Steve GTS.
    So you guys figure the 9800M GTX will be any better than the 8800M GTX performance wise? 5-10% maybe?

    eleron probably just a higher clocked 8800m GTX that they will name 9800m GTX. Or they just add more SP´s to 128 instead that would be something.

    I think they will do the same as with 8600gt and 8700gt just increase clocks

    MAYYYBE actually increase the SP's because its a GTX with one whole series step up...

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! every time I put a post its what the person above me or so says... ugh... lol

    No problem Beatsiz I can do the same mistake too, been there done that :) Although the desktop 9800GTX isn´t that the same core G92 as the 8800GTS 512? I think so.

    I think its either G96 or G92 I forgot...

    Who cares... the only thing we need right now is GTA4 for PC, 9800GX2 sli for laptops and quad core mobile chips for under $500 :D And were set for 1 year without complaints (and please throw in some amazing drivers in too :p)

    I'm waiting for scientific notation for video card naming - the geforce 1.2e4GTX (12000) is coming in 2013!

    Also, the 9800gtx is actually based off of a new core unlike the 9500gs and 9300 which are based off of existing architecture. So far they are the only two that are set to follow that trend.

    Ah, the high hopes that were once had for the GTX, and look how that turned out. Nvidia completely took the mick with the high end of the mobile 9-series.

    Oh how come people dig back in the threads 5 months back to just revive the thread. Strangely mostly noobs doing it.

    Hey, isn't that better than someone starting a new thread about it, when one already exists..? In fact, I'm pretty sure forum admins and the like recommend one looks for old threads for info and discussions rather than blithely starting new ones.
