accually now i guess today nvidia cancels the 6800UX so i dunno whats with their prices but i usually get my stuff from www.theinquirer.net they usually have links to other sites too

accually the 6800 non anything kindof sucks so they might not even make that many thats why they introduced the gt

after checking though it looks like the inq has said a few different prices on the cards...but that was a while back around the realease....i dunno what to believe now...i guess just that store would make the most sense

theinquirer posts rumors. Some are close to truth some are way off. Best to just wait till it hits retail, or a official PR is released.

Yeah, you gotta get a new source... The inquirer is hardly reputable.

You guys are getting it confused with the national inquirer

it will tell you when somebody is speculating something (those are valid alot of the time) and it will also tell you official realeases and which ones they are

The GT is the non ultra! That’s what you get for reading reviews that are missing half the cards. The TR article I linked to has them all, and shows all the rez’s. They don’t flip flop from one rez to the next on different tests.


thanks for the list, I didn't know they were going to release that many cards

They are not going to cancel the Extreme. That inq article contradicts itself. They later go onto say that there WILL be extreme cards by gainward and etcetera. Maybe they renamed it.

I wasn't confusing the sources. Inq isn't always right. I know that they will actually post real news, I am talking about the speculations.

No I wasn't getting it confused at all... Here's an example of them posting rumors that ended up being not true. I don't see anywhere in the article that suggests this is mere speculation.

i know i never said it was but later there was an article telling the mistake
http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=15638

alot of the time it is right on with it's speculation heres a good example of where is says it believes the tejas has been canceld
http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=15749
then it goes on to report that intel has confirmed this speculation
http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=15777

i know there are other places that are more professional but i really like the formatting of this site everything is easy to find and imo the articles are very detailed and get to the point and there are lots of articles to read
