Just posting this for everyone to see. Wondering what the thoughts are on this.

"If you look closely, you will notice that these specifications exactly mirror those of the 8400M GS and 8600M GT."

ummmm... I'm not a pro on graphics cards but that quote does not sound good. So I guess my 8800M SLI will last a little longer than I originally thought.

Agreed, Nvidia calling it the 9XXX series is a joke.. It's nothing but re-spun 8XXX cores named 9XXX for marketing purposes.

Well I think that with the die shrinks the cards will be cheaper and thus these are not the mid range cards yet. Wheres the 9600? Also even the 9500 is a gs.

not the 9600m though

that will be a new card

and the 9600gt desktop card is shaping up to be a nice card, at the very least its no slouch

There will be a 9300GS to replace the 8400GS, that means the Asus 12 inch has the low end 9300: Link

Is the 9300 a die shrink of the 8400, or is it just the 8400 with a new name?

Yes i sadi this many, many posts ago and was called a moron because I said clearly and plainly in so many words that the 8800M would be king for atleast a YEAR....why you assk???? Becasue the 9series cards are going to be, the first gen anyway, based off the 8600 chipset & die...why u ask?? Well nVidia does not plan to replace there 2YEAR long commitment with the 8800M card. NO 9series card will beat the 8800M. The card for laptops that beats the 8800 will be based on a card that can handle dx10.1 which will not BE A 9xxxxx series card as they are all dx10 only. CHeers.

ps.. the 9series will have better shader hardware improvements that WILL make it play games like crysis and oblivion BETTER than the 8400-8700 cards, but in all fairness those card are a HUGE let down, save the 8600 gt ddr3 which is a good BANG for your buck card, as opposed to the 8700 which is quite bad and rather unprefereable for the price it is in a laptop.... Let the judging begin!

uh, they're probably going to release the 8900m or 9800m

never has a older gen high end card beaten a new gen high end card...

Will 9500M GS beat 8600M GT ?

[lunateck]

My guess it'll par it.. Nvidia doesn't need anything especially powerful since ATI is giving them no challenge.
