Vr-zone today said that there is going to be a 9900GTX and a 9900GT. They are supposed to be based off of the G94 chip. These new chips are the GT200 codename chips that will be released in Q3 2008. The 9900GTX is supposedly going to replace the dual-card 9800GX2. This means that the 9900GTS could possibly be a multi core card. The 9900GT is going to replace the 9800GTX. Sources from VR-Zone say that they are going to have a hard time fitting the GT200 on to a single PCB. They also said that the card will be big and very power hungry.

The 9800GTX Triple SLI has been tested over at TweakTown. They have it compared to two 9800GX2 and against 9800GTX SLI. It only managed to beat the 980GX2 in some of the tests. This means that Nvidia ha managed to get their Dual GPU card with some good drivers, not like the 7950GX2. Read more and check out the 9800GTX at:
The 9800GTX has been tested early over at TweakTown. They did not test it compared to any 8800GTS 512, but it is basically the same thing. People were complaining that the 9800GTX is the 8800GTS 512 with 2 power connectors and an extra SLI connection for Tri-sli. Anyway lets get down to business. The 9800GTX was able to sometimes compete on par with is buddy, 9800GX2, and faster than the 8800GT by a fair margin. The 9800GTX is going to stop the production of the 8800GTS 512, but it is still not the card that people were expecting to be 3 times faster than the 8800GTX. Read more over at:
The first AMD Quad cores were somewhat not providing what people expected. They still did not beat Intels first series of cheap cores(i.e Q6600). Also the AMD cores were pummeled with the TLB bug which rendered performance and gave people a reason not to go to AMD cores. AMD tries to countered that with a new revision, Phenom X4 9550, 9650, 9750 and 9850 models running at 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5GHz.

The final early specs for the new Radeon 4000 series. Their new series is going to be 55nm architecture and at the top will be then 4870X2. It is the same idea as the 3870X2, but with two RV770 cores using GDDR5 memory. The core clock for the 4870X2 is insane! Supposedly going to be 1050mhz and the memory at 1800mhz.
