And it runs Crysis a full 4 fps faster than the previous (mo)N(ey)-VITE-ia with 36xAA?!
I WANT THAT CARD!!

I don't pay much attention to performance claims these days... I have a mixture of ATI and Nvidia graphics cards in various machines, but if I was going to buy a new one tomorrow it would be ATI... In 6 months time it would still be ATI.

Why? Because Nvidia has such a terrible driver support. I have a Vista Media Centre PC that can't detect it has a TV connected for a start! Given that Vista has been about for over a year now, is it too much to expect them to have drivers that work?

It's the GT200. No wonder everyone is confused.

The Gpu clubs are a bit slow, they should try the Intel thing and patent their numbers, maybe even the letters. Then we might not get a rehash of recycled card descriptions which just da totally da confuses da crap out of me.

LOL, nVidia is obviously not even ready to launch G200 cards yet, this is their bs tactics. If people think it will come July like the RV770 people will hold out and say yeah I won't get the RV770 just yet... just buys them time.

I remember the 4xxx series nVidia cards too... what's ATi's new cards called?

GT200 = 1 bil transistors, 200+shader, 512 bit GDDR3/GDDR5

G200 = ???

G92b = 55nm shrink G92

You comment Vista is Silicon intense, More=better, with gluttonous appitite for its' Wafer & Quality Stuff to Boot. 

Think 2 billion this summer Imagine with 3 way(home fanantic)Hybrid G200 Big 5 billion Tranistors, Maybe add extra billion latter on? Memory? Come on, Pour It On THICK. Big Numbers.C Drive 50+ gb, oh, make it 76.ME.DIVA ME.DIVAS: ME.DIVAS

Nvidia's naming conventions are killing me. 

9800GTX = Current Architecture
9900GT = New Architecture?

What?

the G200 isn't based on anything new, it is just yet another re-jig on the G92 most probably at 55nm and running a little faster but don't expect miracles!

It seems to me that Matrox Graphics released a few cards based on their G200 in about 1999. It had 16MB and gave the TNT and Rage128 a serious run for their money.

Is it really that hard to come up with unique numbering schemes for different generations of chips, doubt it.

I thought it was a 55nm respin of G92 aka G92b?

I had a G200 YEARS ago....

Great, brand new architecture. I guess there goes driver support out the window again. Like when the 8800's came out and the drivers for the 7900's disappeared. I doent think I will take the risk and go with ATI .

OMG, the Matrox Graphics processing chip well pwns the other Radeon 4400 influx mechanism. I think we should use the G200 for all our inset programming

Oh! Oh! Has anyone mentioned that the 9800 isn't a new card either? Remember ATi used that name too!? haha!! You guys crack me up!
