Who thinks Nvidia will release NV35 this summer?

Worst. Price. Ever.

Good thing you aren't in the workstation market. The Quadro FX 2000 costs $1499, IIRC :)

Come down to Australia as such prices for ALL new top end nVidia video cards goes OVER that. You will rarely see it less than $1000 when it comes out. Not only that, it takes a few days to a week for the people to order it in.

Ati's are around the $800 mark.
Yeah, well, you also have to consider the exchange rate. $1000 Australian is $593 USD right now. It's still expensive, but it's not as expensive as $1000 sounds.

Oh, yeah, and you can't forget taxes. How much of that is in taxes?

I thought $1,000 was just too obscene to be believable, but I find the thought of $593 to be pretty bloody obscene too!

Geeze, I just got a friend a PC nicer than Bubbles (minus monitor) for about $50 cheaper than that!

It's gonna be a loooong time before I gots me that kind of money to burn on toys, at least 5 years. :(

Heh, i thought you were talking American Dollars :)

0 It's already up and running in Nvidia's labs!
1 It wil use DDR - not DDR2 (!) memory because of the lower price of memory and PCB, more stability and availability in high volumes
2 It will have 256 bit 400 MHz (may be more for ultra) DDR1 memory interface. And there will be cards with 256 MB of memory, m'boys
3 It will have the same features set and probably near as damnit the same core clock.
4 It will be as twice, and and sometimes a bit more than that, faster in raw shader power for 1.4 and 2.0 pixel shaders whereas the NV30 was not such a strong performer as we wished - so this aspect is pretty tuned up, lads!
5 It shows from 1.5 up to 2.0 thimes performance of NV30 depending on the tasks and the final frequency specs.
6. It will be definitely faster than RADEON 9800 PRO
7. Other side specs like RAMDAC freq are the same as for NV30

Sounds to me what the NV30 should have been.
Sounds good, now it has to become available.

Looking good for NV fans if they use 256b, at 400m or more.

new drivers already fix PS2.0 speed it seems :)

Actually from what I have seen is the card still performs pretty lousy in Shadermark.

But thats subjective I suppose since the bench was designed around an ATI demo and ATI card.

Huh? where'd you get that from?

20% R&D tax (don't ask), currency exchange tax, GST and some other taxes. + profit for the sales + shipping and there are a few other things to add on as well.
