buy a 9800GTX now or wait for 9900GT ?
The stocks should reach SLS on 18th June 08, Wednesday. But only the expensive GTX280 which will cost about $1000. And no, GTX280 will be named GTX280, not 9900GTX. GTX260 will be more powerful then 9800GTX but about $200 more....it will be on retail end of this month.

It is 58.5 mm (G80) or 53 mm (other cards) or a new distance ?

Thanks.

This should more or less answer ur question.
Rough estimate, 58.5/126*132 = 61.286 mm

yeah gt200 has it's share of trouble's.....Hot, low yields, cost......while ati's r770 r speculated to not b d highest end card.......!!
we ll actually come to knw only wen some1 puts dem against each other........

Like HD4850 vs. GTX 260 vs HD4870 vs GTX 280............!!
compare them in some real games.........performance wise, cost wise, Oc wise.............!!
den we can actually decide who wins............!!
well, the more fair benchmarks would be:

HD4850 CF vs GTX 260
($199 X 2)......($399)

HD4870 CF vs GTX 280
($329 X 2)......($649)

Why test 280GTX with 177.26 and not 177.34. It seem's than 177.34 are THE performance drivers for 280GT (more 50% perfromance with crysis)
Everybody want to know performance in high & very high not in medium you don't buy 600$card to play in medium...
