So far this has been rumored to be an ultimate over card faster than 8800GTX Ultra, then 8800GTS replacement, now a slot above the 8600GTS. Anything else?

The only thing official from NV was that the big gun top end was coming this winter.

Likely we get both and I don't care what the call the chips. There will probably be a new high end with a revamped architecture (AKA 9800GTX) and a new midrange to fill in the lineup with a mild respin of the old architecture (AKA 8700 GTS).

But there have been so many rumor we will only get an idea when we get an offcial announcement.

A slot above the 8600GTS with on-chip HDTV hardware-decoding and with performance near that of a 8800GTX at a price initially just below that of a 8800GTS.. with lots of downward-price flexibility..? Maybe Dx10.1 hardware-compatible?

nVidia has had a strong history of superseding its own products. They are extremely anxious to dump the G80 GPU (8800-series) ASAP. Too big, low-yield, poor profit-margin.

If the G92 does fit most of the criteria that I stated and around that price, it will likely wipe out thw 2900-series AMD/ATi competition..... And the top-end GPU (G90?) still waiting in the wings?

Would make a nice replacement for my 7800GT if the rumors are true.

The physical length of the card is the biggest thing that concerns me these days. I hope someone has some data on that.

I think the ultimate problem is that nVidia knows the 8600 and its pathetic 128-bit memory path are severly underpowered for a "mid-range" card, especially under two instances: DirectX10 and/or the higher native LCD resolutions (1280x1024 and up).

Crap... Now i better by myself a 8800GTS ...

G90 = 1TFLOP and 8900GTX

G92 = less and 8700GTS

(For the remedial reading course folks)

Kind of like 8600gts with 256bit memory bus.

Same 8 rop and same 16 tmu like the 8600gts to keep the cost down. Texturing fillrate will be very similar to 8800gts with higher clock speed with 65nm part. But the ROP would be limited of course at uber high resolutions.

I think this card will be not much slower than 8800gts at stock in medium resolutions. Looks very promising for a midrange card. :)

Of course the real question is this card going to have more than 32 unified shaders? Hoping for 64 at least... :)

this is indeed interesting to see and read :)

another new card, with a price per performance that will outdo anything ati throws into the market...i like it

but i'm content with my 8600GT gets the job done just fine :)
