GeForce 9900 GTX & GTS Slated For July Launch

[maroon1]

The first 2 models from the GeForce 9900 series will be 9900 GTX and 9900 GTS instead of 9900 GT we reported earlier. It seems Nvidia has decided to launch them as early as July to counter RV770 and steal the performance crown away. Nvidia has earlier confirmed GT200 existence and revealed that the GPU has about 1B transistors. Our sources are suggesting a 512-bit memory interface with GDDR3 memories for GeForce 9900 GTX using P651 PCB and a 448-bit memory interface for the GeForce 9900 GTS.

Ha. Looks like Nvidia's not wasting anytime! They want to destroy ATI!

i would like to see if its the us release date or the uk one

where still waiting for the Q9450 over here, a few shops near me quoted tomorrow for the Q9450

...................1B transistors? Dang. Me wonders if the GDDR5 VRAM is really worth it that ATI is going for.

 

[Trotter]

Is this a new chip, or just a die shrink of the other?

 

[darksideleader]

512/448 memory interface? expect some very hot cards and power consuming cards.

 

[dhgunit]

So......now the 9900 series will be with the GT200 core?

 

[Prototype]

yes it will
