"Gigabyte Technology next Wednesday will announce graphics cards powered by Nvidia’s GeForce FX5950 (with an NV36 core) and GeForce FX5700 (with an NV38 core) chips, joining Asustek Computer in supplying products based on solutions from both ATI Technologies and Nvidia..."

Did they get those model numbers the wrong way around on purpose?

I dunno, pictures have been known to say a few things now and then.

all i have to say is..."announce" does not mean "release"

If this is real, then it's available even before it's announced. I'd like to see ATI beat that. lmao

Anyway, the only interesting thing on the horizon for me is how the 5700 performs and what the IQ is with official det 50's. Maybe B3D will do an article about the IQ, or at the very least a poster could do a mini IQ comparison. Got a while before R420 comes out.
