NVidia GT300 and AMD RV800 GPUs are Coming Sooner than Expected!

Posted in: GPU | September 1st, 2009

Hey guys, Icarus here!

You know how I said that NVidia’s GT300 had some technical issues and had to push back its release until Q1 of 2010?

Well, I just heard some interesting rumors about that release date!

According to new sources, NVidia is planning to release a prototype of the GT300 GPUs in late September. Now, up to here, I’m right.

However, I’ve also heard from the newest sources that NVidia is also planning to ship out its first mass-produced load of GT300 GPUs in December- of this year!!!

This is awesome!

On top of that, I’ve gotten more news on AMD’s side too!

AMD is preparing to release the first two of the RV800 generation, the HD 5850 and HD 5870, at the end of September! This is around when NVidia is releasing a prototype of its GT300 GPUs.

AMD is also preparing to have its first batch of mass-produced RV870 GPUs ready for retail stores around the world in October!

So, if some of you got lost in my writing, here’s a general timeline of the future of the GPU war between the Green Goblin and the Red Demon:

  • September 2009 - AMD will release two GPUs from the RV870 generation
  • September 2009 - NVidia will launch a prototype of the GT300 GPUs
  • October 2009 - AMD will release its first batch of mass-produced RV870 GPUs for consumers to buy from retailers around the world
  • December 2009 - NVidia will release its first batch of mass-produced GT300 GPUs for consumers around the world

There you go!

Some of you are probably wondering why NVidia is taking so much longer to release its GPUs for consumers than AMD.

Well, what I’m thinking, is that since NVidia had some huge technical issues at the beginning, they’re taking their time to perfect both the hardware and software of the GT300 GPUs.

Because, when the GT300 GPUs are released hardware and software prepared to perfection, the mistake in the past will literally be forgotten by many consumers anyways.

So that’s all for this post! Hope you guys enjoyed it!

Cheers!
