And it looks like it will be anounced at the end of february,at intel's developer conference.
The specs look impressive enough,especially considering that the chip will feature HSR,otherwise it wouldn't be any faster in current games than the Gf2 ultra,and the worst part is that it looks like card makers will be ready with retail versions as soon as april.
note to self...
Assumption is the mother of all f***ups...

And based on the current crop of nVidia cards it will probably also carry a $600.00 price tag. A little bit too expensive for my blood.
JoelLibertarian is still the way to go if we truly want a real change.

Wrong. It'll be priced at or below Geforce 2 Ultra prices.
Also with the NV20 it isn't really about the speed it's more about the features that NV15 doesn't support. Comes out around the right time too when games are starting to support these features.C:\DOS

Sorry Freak. I don't put any weight in your "information", especially after reading your G800 rumors.

Hypothetically, if those are/close to the official nv20 specs, the card should run about what the GTS came out at ($350).
However, I think nvidia is going to want to keep the momentum it has, and will cut the initial prices of the NV20 to sub-300. (By controlling its prodcution affiliates)
The total cost of manufacturing an nvidia-based card is cheaper than an equivalent card from ATI or Matrox. (Since nvidia outsources all production)
So, by releasing the NV20 at a price below what consumers expect, they will generate huge demand. ATI/Matrox will have to sit idly by, or sell their cards at less of a profit.
The reason I believe nvidia will have cheap NV20 prices is in anticipation of what ATI/Matrox should be releasing around the same time frame. So nvidia maintains its momentum by releasing a top-of-the-line graphics card at a substantially cheaper price than competitors, while still maintaining the quality everyone has grown accustomed to.
In the near future consumers win due to lowered prices for next-gen products.Comment

Ummm, I don't know where you get those ideas, but there's no reason to think one way or the other.

Yuck. The reason I don't buy nVidia stuff is because of the quality.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.Comment

"If he's saying what I think he's saying, then he thinks that because NVIDIA only make chips then their cards will be cheaper."
Pace, how can you tell me this doesn't make sense? 3dfx realized that the graphics card business model was more efficient w/o the production facilities. (A bit too late)
For example:
nvidia sells the NV15 chipset to Hercules, Creative, Leadtek, etc. for say, $100. Then each of those manufacturers COMPETE to release a better value than the others. Hence, with such competition amongst so many competitors, the NV15 is sold at the cheapest manufacturing costs possible.
ATI/Matrox have their manufacturing in-house. I highly doubt that they're manufacturing operation is as efficient as Hercules/Leadtek. I'd say that it would be a safe bet that if Matrox focused solely on chip-design, we'd see their cards selling for a lot less...
