    nVidia and Clevo have been very hush hush about an exact release date. For those of us who preordered a system with this card, we've been told nothing but wait, wait, wait, with no hints or ideas toward the exact specs or a release date.

    So a little extra bit of info, laptopvideo2go released an inf for 177.89 yesterday that includes support for the 9800M GTX. Lets hope its an indicator to a quick release.

    Well its another step further... The vagueness of the 9800M GTX is really annoying...

    It does support CUDA and PhysX OOB.

    ETAs for a long time now, but were close.

    That's one reason I just got my 9800M GT's in SLI, I was waiting for the official announcment for the GTX, waiting,waiting..........What!
    I just could not wait but I am happy with my decision,my machine is more than enough for me.

    yes, of course.... didn't you read the nvidia news on www.nvidia.com where they announced that they will only deliver defective chips in the future because ATI has taken over nvidia and they are now gonna bring themselves down to bankrupt?

    i already ordered my defective nvidiacard to be part of the game!!!!111111

    NO!
    They better not be.
    I also think the whole defective video card thing might be a little overblown,I have yet to hear of mass failures of this card.
    I'm sure if there was that big of a problem It would be posted all over these forums.
