Ill be waiting for the 9 series to come out towards November instead. I can play it on DX9 until then. The 9 series will basically make the 8 series look like what the 4 series is to the 7 series.

-A terraflop Performance(8 series is about a few hundred giga flops)
-New smaller 80nm chips(Instead of the bigger 90nm 8 series chips, which will make it cooler)
-New GDDR4 Memory. Much bigger clocks, and just overall better.
-So much more.

They will own.

After looking around a bit to, It is actually instead that the 8900, and the 8950 will NOT be released, as they are just going to the 9800 card.

this is still under alot of debate, Nvidia has anounced nothing and more often then not. the inquirer is to be taken with a grain of salt. some things i will mention on though

moving from 90nm to 80nm will affect very little, yes better i would agree. but the card will only be a few degrees cooler.

GDDR4 memory is useless. unless you can take advantage of it. We haven't even taken full use of GDDR3. if you have noticed, DDR3 was released. as of the moment unless you get an extremely good processor and overclock it to the moon and back. it will not make use of it, same goes for GDDR4

A Terraflop is not likely. try at the max, a double of what the 8800GTX can continuously output. even in such. it will all come down to Driver performance in this age. if you can't write a driver that will take full advantage of that power. you can't have all that power. This early in the game for the 9 series, anything more then speculation needs to come from Nvidia.
