According to our story Merril Lynch Says No GeForce FX Before April the german website TechChannel reports that Sparkle will start selling their cards in january.
Sparkle told the german distributer Alternate that they will start shipping the cards in january to the german distribution companies. But this does not say that the card will be available to the public in january.
The price range for the card will be round about 500 -600 Euros.

It rumours that the difference of the price is caused by two versions of the card, the "GeForceFX 5800" and "GeForceFX 5800 Ultra".
Traditionally the "ultra" cards are higher clocked with 500 Mhz of Core Speed and 1 Ghz RAM speed (by using DDR II RAM) maybe using the "FX-Flow" cooling system.
We will see if this rumour is true.

But but a thing is nearly clear that Nvidia will miss the christmas business this year and this can cause collapses in sales and give ATI the chance to react on the new Nvidia Card.

Maybe ATI is starting to develop a 9700 Pro card with DDR II RAM ? That could become exciting which card will be the best. I would bet on the company with the three letters.

No way the company with the three letters are the biggest Wankers in the business.

I start to get sick by all this GeForce FX stuff!!! FX here FX there. Nearly every second thread here is about the Geforce FX. There are also more things to discuss about. I mean the Geforce FX is a nice Graphicchip but there a more things in the computerworld.

Are you kidding me? ATi doesn't have anything even scheduled to be released that can match up with the GeForceFX

nVidia claims the GeForceFX to cost $399 - $450 USD

lol, hey shit! theres air everywhere! that damn air is making me sick cause I have to breathe it all the time! and that damn food I have to eat every day! god dammit!
seriuously, if you cant stand it, leave it

I figure ATI has something up their sleeves. Based on DDRII and a reworked R300 chip present on the 9700 cards. I've read it will be the R350. It just keeps gettin better

You can believe that if you believed that the R300 was the shit when it came out...

but if you knew ATi sold themselves way short on it....you know they'll do it again...they don't have shit...not for the time being.
