    Well, since ATi is releasing the 128MB version of the 8500, they don't seem to be planning the R300's release soon. So nVidia has at least 3 months minimum, and probably 6+. Plenty of time for them to milk the G4, and still release yet another premium card. People do seem to buy them after all.

        Greebe is right the release is postponed until this fall.

        Maybe because they decided to stop new work to fix bugs this month .

          I've read here that the beta is released for testing.


          I DO think that Nvidia missed the dx9 boat, but as Wombat already posted, Nvidia will probably release a GF4 Ultra or something in fall. (if they CAN crank up the core- & memspeed of the GF4)

          But then again when will DX9 Games/Applications be fully available? I don't think you'll really need DX9 for at least 1 year from now....

            Having some DX9 features does not need to stop a card from being released.

            For example the original Radeon had some DX8 features.

              The coming of DX9 is not the question...

              when are the first games coming?!?

              Sadly as I see how many *real* DX8 games are out right now, I have to guess it will be when DX10 is sheduled...
