I'm confuddled. Is the 8700 between the 8600 and the 8800 in terms of performance?

Well there was a article a few days ago that stated that the new G92's werent designed to remove the 8800 series at the king of the playground.

edit1: basicly a new mid range card

oooo woould this be as powerfull as the 8800....if not ill buy this instead of the X1950

No its not going to be as powerfull as a 8800, its going to be a mid range card.

From a marketing stand point, nvidia doesnt need to release a top range card just yet. There more more worth while refining there card waiting till production costs are less.

I expect a new nvidia card to knock the 8800 off the crown about feb+.

Nvidia doesnt want all the people buying a new card at xmas when they can buy already produced 8800's
