NVIDIA seems very unhappy with Intel, not only showed us upgrading CPU is useless and even hinted Intel’s upcoming graphic solution Larrabee will be a vaporware:
“Larabee is a PowerPoint slide,I haven’t met a product on my PowerPoint slide that I don’t like. You know, they’re floating Larrabee out there just to put a shadow over us, cast a cloud over us. They’ve already slipped it two years from the time they talked about. They would love to slip it another four years and leave a cloud over me.” (NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, CNET interview)

GeForce 8600GTS/GT have been launched for more than a year, but till now NVIDIA did not push any new product to replace it. All NVIDIA doing is keep replacing product in the high end segment: 8800GT, 8800GTS 512MB, 8800GS, 9600GT, 9800GX2 and 9800GTX. All these cards are 140USD above, and What NVIDIA going to do is going a new GeForce 9 product to replace the 8600GT/8600GTS. That’s our today’s review card: GeForce 9500GT.
Before we post this review, other site have already make some news out of the card: (all in Chinese)

Because of some obvious reasons, we can not post any pics of GeForce 9500GT(except the core shot and cooler shot).
We must point out, PConline in their 9500GT review totally copied HD video playback part of our G98-8400GS review word by word, (of course they copy our Chinese versions so you probably can not read it) which totally mis-info their readers, because HD playback of 9500GT is not the same with G98-8400GS. now please click over to read our whole review.

FUD reports RS780D, the AMD 790GX supports a new hybrid corssfire, can CF with IGP and two graphics card, here is their report：
“AMD’s upcoming RS780D or 790GX chipset will add support for a new type of hybrid CrossFire, as not only will the onboard graphics work in conjunction with a graphics card, but it will work with a pair of graphics cards for some very interesting CrossFireX setups.
We’re not sure how much of a performance boost you’d get from a setup like this, but an extra boost for free is never wrong. Well, free is a relative term here, as we’re not sure how many people would consider this platform when it launches, as starting out with integrated graphics and then moving up to one and then two graphics cards seems like an odd concept.”

When GeForce 8800GS got launched, it is an unpopular product. NV’s Dev team tried hard to keep its performance when shrinking it from a 8800GT, but because the lack of propaganda (yes i mean the leak slide, screen shot and spy pic), mainstream market can not accept this product in a flash.
Today, The card’s performance and price are similar to 9600GT’s. (Related: G80 VS G92, med to high end GFX cards round-up). So NV is going to change the name of GeForce 8800GS to 9600GSO, in order to Classify the card into the GeForce 9 series. From it’s current price and the new name we can sure the card will market target will be a little lower than 9600GT.
Also, G92 will be reflashed with the 55nm processing in July. We can expect some new GeForce 9 cards will be launched with the new 55nm G92, which can lower the core temperature and rise the core clock.
In NVIDIA’s name scheme, GTX means “GeForce Technology eXtreme”, performs better than a GT card. April 1st, NVIDIA rolls our their 9800GTX, a 9 series “GeForce Technology eXtreme”. Is it really a extreme card which can it feed gamers rising graphic demand? or only a April Fool’s Joke?
