When do you think Nvidia will release it's new GPU's?

So When do you guys think Nvidia will release its new GPU's?
Mainly for lappies but go ahead with desktop if you want...

Conditions:

1- Date
2- Price
3- What GPU
4- Performance comparison
5- Optional: Specs

Good luck and may the most accurate win

are those ever set until two months before they actually come out? I mean, its always thrown up in the air I would think, no matter what part you look at on any system desktop, notebook, server....

maybe im wrong but you grab the best available, if you wait until tomorrow for something better to buy, you will never see tomorrow come

 

I am looking forward to purchasing a new laptop and im just waiting for the next best thing asides from the 8700gt since its only a midrange card... If im planning to play lets say Crysis and the highest settings and the max. resolution and minimum 30fps I believe the 8700gt is right on the verge of failing to meet my excpectations... Since Crytek "mistakenly" and "falsely" put up requirements "probably for press and rumor" that the I guess required requirements are T7200 and a 8800gts 640mb

 

On September 28th 2007.

 

Are you serious? lol ok Ill take it in consideration... lmao

 

9800GTX-> November at arround $600-700 US

9800GTS-> February

9600/9500/9400-> April

Mobile card-> next summer

According to nvidia's tendency

 

Maybe because Dell is launching the m1730 with the new chips

 

So... 1 year for a new mobile card... Yeah Right.... lol Come on not a bit excagerating? hopefully not

 

Probably is correct. Most likely new graphics cards will launch with Intel's Montevina platform, which will bring Intel's replacement for the X3100.

 

it's always a 6 month refresh rate

 

between desktop and notebook

 

So whats up with the whole xps1730 8800m deal?!?!? And hasnt the first 8m series gpu been out for more than 6months?!?!

 

The XPS M1730 will not have an 8800m, at least not at first. No one's even sure right now if there will ever be an 8800m. I'm guessing you're just looking for a DX10 style 256-bit GPU, and I'd say that's not possible until nVidia's die shrink to 65nm, which I'm guessing won't happen until this winter.

 

Desktop: November (semi-official date, been leaked a few places)
Laptop: March/April timeframe.

This is following NVidia's official policy: Main refresh (high-end cards, completely new generation) each fall/early winter, and late spring, launch of derived cards.
Basically, the spring refresh is for all the optimized cards (performance/cost, performance/watt, or just plain price), while the fall launch is for breaking new ground (new architecture, new performance record, new features)

Of course, they can (and do) still release cards outside this schedule, but only minor tweaks to existing ones (like if they have to compete with an ATI card that's $7 cheaper, or 14mhz faster, or if they need to get rid of a lot of chips with a few defective shader units)

 

So are you including the next mobile 256-bit card in this prediction, or do you believe it will be released as part of the current generation?

 

The day after I buy my next laptop.

 

If nVidia stands true, than this November would see the release of the next high end desktop variant, with the mid range following in the spring.

Possibly seeing a higher end mobile card this year, but likely not till next summer.
