NV40

[weta]

As I understand it, ATI's new (R420) Radeon X800 XT is the equivalent of two 9800XT (R360) GPUs. Further tweaks and the 0.13m process have enabled engineers to achieve even higher GPU clock speeds, and finally there's the new GDDR3 memory. Add all this together and you've got an extremely fast card.

Does anyone know the date that these cards will be available to the general public

[weta]

Josh.M: May/June.

[JSN]

any updates on the release dates?

[weta]

JSN: Nothing concrete, still looks like late May early June.

[JSN]

maybe selling my 9800XT ahead of the curve wasn't the best idea

I having nothing to play new games until the NV40/R420 launches.

I vote for myself as most anxious

TR: When will the GeForce 6800 Ultra arrive in stores?
Tamasi (NVIDIA): By Memorial Day the 6800 Ultra will be available, and by July 4th, the full line of the 6800 series will be broadly available.

Luckily I've still got my Radeon 9800 XT.

does anyone know a place that gives full refunds on vid cards within 30 days?

and I thought I was so smart getting $380 for my 9800XT :(
