The fact they have little competition (don't make me laugh ATI - they sell 1/5'th the chips I'd figure) means they can string us that "little bit longer" for a little bit more money and release it more in the march time frame.
if it's being released / announced in January does this mean it's been 6 months for the ti's already? (I find that hard to believe, aren't the ti's only 2 months old?)
this speculation seems grossly guessed to me from what I just read on the page.
and FINALLY if Nvidia read this (hopefully some of you will agree) I DON'T GIVE A FUCKING SHIT ABOUT 128MB OF RAM why waste MY fucking money on 128mb when 64mb is barely completely used yet (one map one game stresses a 32 mb card - q3 dm9 so I hear) - USE FUCKING NICE QUALITY TEXTURE COMPRESSION FOR JESUS'S SAKES! - look at what UT can do with S3TC in 32bit and tell me we need 128mb of ram.
just another excuse to jack the price up.
"this card requires 8x16mb chips rather than 4x16mb chips - if we pay X$ per chip and then make 5% profit per chip - we will make 10% profit on memory if we make it 128mb!"
It's all marketing faggotry and bullshit we DON'T need 128mb - at this point.
What I would like to see is a GPU @ 2x the speed (.13 micron and well cooled) and using the nforce technology of 2 seperate "bus's" to the memory to theoretically double the bandwidth - much much better for bandwidth issues.

"soldier of fortune2 is being developed with 128 meg of ram in mind. you'll be able to set the textures lower if you dont have it. but you need 128 to see it in all its glory."

Hard to believe we're kinda at a point where the video card technology seems to be surpassing the available games that are out there. Usually they run hand in hand or the cards are a few months behind, right?
