Geforcefx Not Until April?


Recommended Posts

News.com is reporting that Merrill Lynch is telling investors that the recently announced GeforceFX (NV30) will not be shipping until the April Quarter. Despite a recent surge by the Nvidia stock, this could be seen as a major set back for the company. With nForce 2 motherboards still not shipping in mass quantity and ATI clearly winning the high end graphics market right now, Nvidia could be hurting.

I referenced a few days ago in a news post that this situation reminds me a lot of the 3dfx days. They had continued slips with their V5 5500 product and as a result Nvidia took the crown and never looked back. Despite doing a paper launch at this week's Comdex of the GeforceFX, Nvidia will not likely have reference samples to partners until sometime in January or February. Which historically speaking, could put the Merrill Lynch time frame right on track for April. Will you wait? Or is the 9700 itching at ya.
