will there be such thing as a 8900GTX ?

JacKz5o

Of course. They'll also probably make 8959GX2s for quad-core, and 8600 series for mid-range DX10.

ENTERPRISE

Im Sure in the Future yes. I heard theres an 8600GTS being released..Its the more Budget DX10 cards.

Then a 9600 9800 9900 9950

JacKz5o

The G90 series was supose to come out summer of '07, but they're going to have to change the name since ATI already has a........ 9800.

reberto

They can't go 9600 and 9800 because ATI owns the rights to those names

It would not matter if they were in different markets (say, a GPU and a car tire), but since they are in direct competion NVidia has to use a different nameing system if they don't wan't to get sued over trademarks.

No - ATi owns the rights to Radeon 9600 and Radeon 9800 - if not just Radeon. You can't copyright a number - unless you mean the binary representation of copyrighted materials. Radeon is the series name - which is copyrighted. 9x00 is just the model number. To compare - the Honda Civic XL is copyrighted. But the Civic part - not the XL part.
