Get ready for a whole new breed, sooner then you might think.
The ninth generation of NVIDIA's GeForce cards just hit the ground running last week with the introduction of the 9600 GT. While the 9600 GT did not bring any exceptional design changes to the table, it nonetheless proved to be a solid card for the price, competing well against the recently priced dropped HD 3850 and HD 3870 cards.
So, you might have been wondering: when are more 9xxx cards coming?
You might have heard that the 9800 GX2 is expected to drop quite soon.
But according to information released by NordicHardware, NVIDIA has a lot in store for the next 60 days, if this road map is accurate:
