nVIDIA to announce 9800 GTX within 30 days

nVIDIA will be announcing their high-end graphics card replacement within 30 days.

The much anticipated 9800 GTX. The naming convention may not follow the previous standard, but it will be the replacement for the high-end 8800 GTX Ultra's. Rumored to have 1.5GB of DDR4 on a single video card.

This is logged so that you know I, Riddick51PB, was the first on the internet to lay this out.


www.evga.com

The reasoning:
  1. eVGA Moderators have not responded to your inquiries on availability. This is because eVGA Vice-President of Marketing has communicated to them not to.
  2. Stock of current technology is always depleted so that the new products will sell. You won't be able to buy 8800 GTX Ultra for a reduced price, because none are available.
  3. Notice that where you actually can find an 8800 GTX for sale, there is always a rebate available with it. This is to get people to buy the few remaining in stock.
  4. Want an example? The Nikon D300 was announced for sale on 23-August-2007. It replaced the Nikon D200. Go look for a brand new D200 now. Look anywhere. You can't find one. That's because they're selling the brand new replacement model: The Nikon D300. And yes, i have one of those arriving tomorrow (27-November).
