8800M GTX November 19th???

I wonder if I'll get an answer to my questions

 

in 6 days you will
lol

 

It's all getting pretty interesting now, saw screenshot (in other topic on this forum, in gaming and graphics) from the alienware website which stated "the" specs of the 8800M GTX. Not bad for a mobile GPU

Now I wonder, I have to return my notebook for dead pixel warranty somewhere next month and MAYBE I can get my reseller to replace it with a 8800M GTX barebone (if it's not too expensive).

 

That is: assuming the 8800M will be in by that time.
I highly doubt that in 1 month, there will be enough units to sell seperatly

 

the 8800M's launch may be on the 19th of November... but the shipping dates should be a month later... at least.

 

I know what you mean, but one can always hope AND my reseller doesn't have to replace the GPU, because I will get a new barebone, and the new barebones will most likely have the new GPU sooner than the GPU's will be available to be sold seperately. But still, one month is probably too soon and I'm not saying the 8700M performs badly in any way. And think of it this way: if you can't get the 8800M as soon as it comes out, a few months later there will be another king GPU which will most likely fit the M570RU (or another MXMIII and above notebook) also.

 

nono.. we went through this already... nov 19th specs/launch, availability ---> early 2k8

as for the 8900m you are targeting, i wouldn't expect that before may or something at least, and yes, then you can wait forever.

 

considering how long it took for the 8800 to finally be in laptop form i would suggest that there won't be another high-end card for another year.

 

You are probably right Derq and I didn't want to start the discussion again, just wanted to say that it would be a nice extra if the 8800M was available when I have to return my notebook for the SECOND time for dead pixel warranty (that is quite annoying believe me and if anyone would have to send his/her notebook back 2 times for the same thing a nice extra would be.. well.. very nice )

 

In case you missed the post last night

 

when do you think that Sager would come out with the 8800M GTX I can't wait till I upgrade it when it comes out. I hope XOTIC PC would carry it when they lounch it.

 

don't count on it, though a major company like dell's alienware is now pulling some interest on this one... maybe they got a sleek pre-release deal?
na...

 

yeah but sager will be able to get it.
xtopic deals directly with nvidia or thats what i've been told
its just how long till xtopic gets them, after dell, alien, sager and all the big guys

 

judging by the fact that sager has been silent about this one i am betting that dell got another exclusive with nvidia to release this on their systems along with alienware for a while.

 

Maybe Dell did get a deal, we dont know, but I rather still have it in a Sager rig over a dell, alienware, etc.....LOL we dont even know what the real specs are yet.... But dag nabit Im ready to see this thing

 

yes it might be true i think justin said not to expect it till jan. or feb soonest.
thats why i went with the 8700's till then
if he said they will get them when released (19th) then i would have waited

 

they will get released nov 19th yes.. but they will be available in jan or feb... so it's not a bad thing you didn't wait.

 

yes i agree and if the 8800's are not what we all want them to be i still have the 8700's with dx10 and i can clock the hell out of it when the time comes to keep up with the joneses

 

exactly, for the m570ru people however, it is neccesary as there is no sli

 

oh ya, ok, i'm not thinking yes ur right

 

Hi I have been following these forum for quite some while and find them extremely informative. As a newbie i am forced to wait till about Feb next year before i can buy and then it will most definatley be a 9261 or one of its upgrades. I see Alienware's website briefly had the 8800 series card yesterday but quickly pulled. I now see now that PCmicroworks has also announced the 8800 in sli form and delivering mid Dec. Cant wait till next year.

 

Sweet thanks for the info I can't wait till XOTIC PC start to carry the 8800M GTX for Sager 9261 and if it comes out around December I am going to order the SLI version

 

I am waiting to see them on the web site myself. I would also like to see the actual spec sheet for it as well. Anyone seen it yet?

 

Since November 19th is just hours away thought it would be good to know who is going to be among the first to have the 8800m. Please put the links in this thread. Here's one.

I will be checking online tomorrow at work for the new 8800M GTX at XOTIC PC. If they have it for Sager NP9261 I am ready to order two of them . Plus I need to add one more Segate 160 SATA II 7200RPM so I can have more hard drive space. Please XOTIC PC have it by tomorrow

 

Are you sure? It is gonna cost you a thousand bucks

That's without the drive!

 

the 8800m is exclusive to dell & alienware for a few months.

 

Interesting. Where did you hear that from?

Some of the other resellers are already expecting to ship units with 8800s in December.

 

what really ARGH are you sure its only exclusive to dell and alienware? I hope that is not true I hope they will come out for Sager NP9261 but I am going to email Justin in XOTIC PC to ask if they will get it in soon.

 

it will surely be released for the clevo's

 

Here are the Spec's from Nvidia website:

GeForce 8800M GTX 8800M GTS
Stream Processors 96 64
Core Clock (MHz) 500 500
Shader Clock (MHz) 1250 1250
Memory Clock (MHz) 800 800
Maximum Memory 512MB 512MB
Memory Interface 256-bit 256-bit

 

yea www.rockdirect.com is offering them too now..

 

i was just guessing who knows. nvidia is having production issues with the 8800m so it will be delayed for everyone for now with no eta besides first quarter of 2008.

 

What a performer indeed!

same here baby hemi. i put my order in last week but was told that the new 8800gtx is out around december. so my order is now on hold awaiting this beast of a card eargerly

 

It does look awesome I can't wait to some real world benchmarks. But ju st from the specs it should be 2-3 times faster. Just one more thing to keep me busy looking at.

 

I spoke to Ty at Sager today, he said that they are in the final stages of quality control of the 8800M GTX. He told me to call back in a few weeks about upgrading to 8800M GTX SLI. Cant wait, if the upgrade works out to be $1000 it will be worth it to me.

Anyone interested in a good deal for two or one 7950 GTX.

 

Hey CRFfred,

Is your 3DMark score an overclocked setup to get that score???

The 8800 will be awesome.. I wasn't going to put my order on hold to wait for it .....

Ill just buy two new 8800's when there available..

Joe

 

Yes I did overclock, can't remember what it was at though. I only overclocked my system a couple of times.

 

anybody knows when the cards will be available seperatly?

 

Justin@XOTICPC said they won't have any information until 6 Dec. But the information might start trickling out sooner. NO definites yet.

 

I have question, if you bought your machine from Sager, will aother vendor (XOTICPC, Eurocom) sell you the GPU's?

 

Is Dell trying to tell us something?

http://www.hothardware.com/Articles/NVIDIA_GeForce_8800M_Preview/

 

well obviously, they are telling us that we are "not prepared", but for what?!?!?!!

 

it means that the m1730 is going to be getting the 8800m gtx in there along with it's physics card which will make it the fastest notebook for gaming so it will be an interesting dogfight between the m17x and the m1730.

 

And the Clevo D901C

 

Here’s one independent review of a Clevo with the 8800M...

That gives me hope that the SLI dual 8800's that I ordered will really smoke.

Hopefully not literally.
