SkyeHack Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Two years ago NVIDIA released its GeForce 3, which featured programmable Pixel and Vertex Shaders, and then in the fall it released the updated version of the GeForce 3 which ran at higher clock speeds. This goes hand in hand with NVIDIA?s 6 to 8 month product release cycle, which typically releases a brand new product in the Spring, and then a Fall refresh of that product. NVIDIA did release a new product in late Winter in the form of the GeForce 4 series (MX and Ti), but due to internal NVIDIA timing for its next-gen product, the GeForce 4 will have a very interesting and limited existence. To qualify that statement, NVIDIA has publicly stated that it will be releasing the NV-30 in late August. This will not be the Fall refresh of the GeForce 4 Ti, but rather a totally new architecture based on NVIDIA and 3dfx technology. This puts the GeForce 4 Ti in a rather precarious situation. But the question is, if its coming out next month why haven't we heard anything new about it? All we have heard are the rumored specs for it. Is it being delayed or what? Thanks guys!
