What particular monitor is that on? Is such behaviour (stretching of content) standard across most / all CRTs? It does almost sound like a good thing.
nvidia "D8E" High End solution, what can we expect in 2008?

IMO that is taking the statement out of context.
That is really bad news if true. When are we going to see something new on the high-end? Is 8800GTX going to rule for another year? I hope not.
Personally I think that triple SLI, quadruple Crossfire and other -tuples are uninspiring and substandard
. If the things will continue to go this way, in two years we will see computers sporting ten graphics cards .

Well assuming you increase resolution and DPI while keeping the physical dimensions the same...
That means that if you display the exact same image while scaling fonts upwards to match the increased DPI (IE - keeping the image exactly the same) then...
You'll have more pixels rendering the same scene. Aliasing will be reduced but not removed. Text will be significantly easier to read. Especially smaller fonts. I had a chance to use the old IBM 22" 3840x2400 monitor a few years back. And the display was just gorgeous. And even if you didn't scale text upwards to match the increased DPI, it was STILL extremely readable.
Problems at the time (and I think current 22" high DPI panels still share this) is that color fidelity was average at best, pixel response was horrible (in the 50+ ms range), and the price was very high.
All of which were irrelevant for the market it was intended for however, so those weren't really drawbacks compared to the benefits.

Or maybe it just means that there won't be "D8E", just "D9E" around Q2/08 or so?

D9E won't be out till the end of 2008 i think.
I wonder if the new GTS based on G92 will have 2 SLi connectors.
Also if this wasnt posted here.

There probably won't be any D8E, it's too late for that.
1H08 there will be D9E and R700, D8E should at least be 1 billion transistors which would fall in the same timeline.
nVidia's D8 family is a slight tune of the G80 and it's not ready for full DX10 use, so nVidia is probably rushing D9 family.

It's not ready for DX10 use ?
How so ? Speed ?
Is the HD2xxx/HD3xxx any better in DX10 in that regard ?
Also, be on the lookout for something new by, say... 3rd of December.

When DX10 will be used, we'll know... for the moment it's impossible to say (volumetric fog as the only "dx10 only" effect is a joke)
Only some facts are here to point out G80 and G92 "flaws", revealed when R600 came out, but it could have issues too (in fact, it has already issues with DX9).
I seriously don't think any of the 2 manufacturers will push another 1st gen DX10 product and the "8800GT" name speaks for himself: nVidia don't want to step up or it would have been called 8850 or 8900 given its performance. Last D8 will be the v2 8800GTS.
R600's virtualization is what I expect to be the first addition to next nVidia's design as it could boost GPGPU even more than games.
Volumetric fog ?
Then what do you call Crysis' dinamic global ilumination in the multiplayer mode, which is exclusive to the DX10 path ?
There are plenty of titles using DX10 features right now (Crysis, Call of Duty 4, Bioshock, Call of Juarez, Company of Heroes, World in Conflict, etc). Certainly a lot more than DX9 games in the same period of time between the API introduction and DX9-ready/DX9-feature-using games.
Also, even if not being able to run those games at ideal speeds (we need to take in consideration the added lag introduced by having to run Vista for DX10), at the least the current hardware allows the developers to write future DX10 titles much faster than if they could only use software-only emulators contained in the DX SDK.

G98 is low-end.
New 8800GTS will use G92 with 8 TCPs running.

Too late for what?
D8E is most likely a GX2 board using two G92s in SLI.Dunno about R700 but, as i've already said, i wouldn't expect a new hi-end GPU from NV till the end of 2008.
G80 is a part of 'D8 family'
As for it being ready for DX10 -- it's more ready than anything else out there.
I thought Tri-SLI was delayed to next year ..
Do not trust so much in Fuad, certainly if ATi is prepping something equal with plan to launch it in 2007...

i heard that the 9800 series is coming out before the end of the year (or whatever its called).
