nvidia "D8E" High End solution, what can we expect in 2008?

Do we know if the HDMI port seen in the leaked pics is going to be a standard feature of these cards :?: What about pricing :?:

The rumours on the GX2's frequency are funny at least; first they started at 550MHz, later it grew to 600MHz and today it's supposed to be at 660MHz. Can they finally make up their mind? LOL :D

Wishful thinking on the part of the "reporters" or Nvidia working hard to make a part faster than 3870x2? :)

With the thermals of G92...I'll go with the second one that Nvidia is working hard to make sure they don't have to lower clocks and thus can still beat the 3870x2 with their own single card dual GPU solution.

Just like 7800GTX-512 all over again, huh?

I wonder how NVIDIA want to fight against Rv770 (ATIs nextgen supposed to be up to 50% faster than rv670) with any performance improvements in GF9800 (if it is really based on only slightly faster G92)?

8800 Ultra is already ~ 50% faster than 3870 and 9800 GTX should be around this level.;)

50% faster? 30-40% maybe but i think 50% is too much. You are saying GF8800Ultra ~GF9800GTX but you should notice that if GF9800GTX is G92 chip then it will be even slower than GF8800Ultra in higher resolutions (16ROPs and 256-bit mem interface).
Moreover i`m not talking about Rv770 only but there are rumours that there will be R700 as a 2xRv770 so it should be about at least 50-60% faster than GF9800GTX.
NVIDIA needs nice performance bump IMO. I hope we will see G100 (GT200?) GPU soon and it give us a spectacular performance boost over G80 (about 2 times i belive) because G8x/G9x architecture on this level could be too weak to beat new R7xx generation. Unless G100 is much modified G8x/G9x architecture (like G7x was to NV40) with more SPs, ROPs and better mem interface. :)

50% faster? Based on what I've read, it should be minimum of 35% faster in ROP limited situations, but in everything else, it should have at least twice the power if not more compared to RV670

Where did you read this? I've only herd the 50% number as well. And yeah I'm curious to see what NV has to counter RV770... does anybody know when G100 is due? Q4 2008?

The Hartware specs seem not to be true, as I heard from a reliable source.

Any source? I`ve read "up to 50%" speed bump over Rv670. That means there may be many situations where we will see 20%, 30% advantage over Rv670.
 
Well assuming the RV770 is fast enough to beat out the 8800GTX what does NV have to counter in the single chip arena? Have we herd anything about G100 at all?

Check the R7xx speculation thread, there's links to couple sites reporting supposed specs, at least on those sites RV770"XT" is supposed to sport over 1TFlop of shading power (a lot higher clocks + 50% more units), they also report doubled TMU-count, GDDR5 @ 2200MHz (4400MHz effective) and so on, only thing "remaining" the same would be those 16 ROPs (unless there's internal improvements on them?) but even those would be clocked that ~35% higher

For a $150-$200 card... How is that a disaster?

Pfft.... so now Nvidia manages to call a speed-bump of their 8800GT silicon "Geforce 9" ?

Since when did they decide to move away from their typical fashion to 1) introduce a new card, 2) x months later release an updated one with a type number + 100 ?

So what can we expect in fall 2008 then ? Geforce 10800 using the GT100 or GT200 etc. silicon ?

Do we know how well the 9800GTX is going to perform relative to the 8800GTX?
