NVIDIA's New High-End Graphics Card to Arrive in Days?
(May 9, 2004)
Japanese stores confirmed recently that Albatron may be the first-to-market with its Trinity GeForce 6800 Ultra graphics cards. The information published by Akiba PC Hotline claims that the first batch of such products is anticipated to arrive in the middle of the month – days from now.
An Albatron’s spokesman lately told that the company’s latest graphics cards, the GeForce 6800 and the GeForce 6800UV, will hit the shelves in Taiwan in early May, a lot earlier than NVIDIA said on the launch day of its NV40 graphics processor. Even though there are no reports about such products availability today, there is information that the add-in graphics cards are expected to arrive in days from now. Officially NVIDIA promised that its partners would deliver the GeForce 6800 Ultra-based products in late May or early June.
The GeForce 6-series of graphics processors will be available across entry-level, mainstream, performance-mainstream, high-end and, apparently, so-called ultra high-end graphics cards. The new series of NVIDIA’s graphics processors is the company’s second generation lineup of DirectX 9.0-compatible offerings that greatly leverage the feature-set of NVIDIA GeForce FX graphics chips and brings important additional caps like Shader Model 3.0 as well as great performance improvements over the previous generation hardware.

Vroooom vroom: ATI speeds up things with its RADEON 9100 PRO IGP
(May 3, 2004)
"Do you feel the need, the need for speed?" Do you need something that’s going to make you dizzy after you play NFSUG? Do you want to stop playing UT2004 like as if it were some slide show? ATI Technologies Inc. has come up with just the right thing for you...or so it claims. Enter ATI Radeon 9100 PRO.
ATI technologies Inc. today announced the introduction of Radeon 9100 PRO IGP, a high performance product for both Intel Pentium 4 and Celeron processors. The official launch of the integrated graphic processor (IGP) will take place at Gartner’s System Builder summit in Barcelona, Spain on May5, 2004. Launch partners include industry leaders as Gigabyte, MSI, Sapphire, Shuttle PC, FIC, Jetway and Soyo. Consumers can also expect to see the ATI Radeon 9100 PRO chip integrated with motherboards manufactured by them.
The ATI Radeon 9100 PRO is much better than it’s predecessor, the ATI Radeon 9100. The ATI Radeon 9100 PRO will provide its users with Serial ATA, dual DDR400 memory channels, RAID, enhanced USB support, expanded memory and peripheral compatibility. Surroundview, a feature unique to ATI, enables users to combine the power of discrete and integrated graphics for multi-monitor support. Users benefit from simplified management of multiple windows and an enchanting environment for gaming and multimedia. This should definitely make your mouth water.
In addition to the launch of RADEON 9100 PRO IGP based on RS 350 chip, ATI will also introduce a value-oriented, single memory channel integrated graphics platform, RADEON 9000 PRO IGP based on the RC 350 chip.
By supporting a rich feature set, RADEON 9100 PRO IGP provides the perfect foundation for a cost effective multimedia PC or entry level gaming platform. For the enterprise user, RADEON 9100 PRO IGP provides rock-solid system stability and investment protection as the industry moves towards next-generation 3D operating systems. (ztj050404)

An article that cites a picture from NVIDIA's presentation suggests that the company will have three following high-end graphics cards this Summer:
GeForce 6800 Ultra: 16 pixel pipelines; 6 vertex pipelines; 400MHz core clock-speed; 1100MHz memory clock-speed; 256MB GDDR3 memory.
GeForce 6800 GT: 16 pixel pipelines; 6 vertex pipelines; 350MHz core clock-speed; 1000MHz memory clock-speed; 256MB GDDR3 memory.
GeForce 6800: 12 pixel pipelines; 6 vertex pipelines; 325MHz core clock-speed; 700MHz memory clock-speed; 256MB GDDR3 memory.
The GeForce 6-series of graphics processors will be available across entry-level, mainstream, performance-mainstream and high-end graphics cards. The new series of NVIDIA¡¯s graphics processors is the company's second generation lineup of DirectX 9.0-compatible offerings that greatly leverage the feature-set of NVIDIA GeForce FX graphics processors and brings important additional caps like Shader Model 3.0 as well as great performance improvements over the previous generation hardware.

Nvidia Set To Raise Clock Speeds
(May 1, 2004)
In the ever cut throat war of the 3D graphics Nvidia & ATi have duked it out, waited and gambled on a variety of things. One such thing was ATi waiting to see how the GeForce 6 line performed then raised their clockspeeds before launch to counter it, well according to The Inquirer it seems Nvidia it set to do the exact same thing back to ATi.
NVIDIA WILL CHANGE its Geforce 6800 Ultra clock speeds. It will clock their cards faster to beat ATI, we learned yesterday, and I believe that was the message it told its partners at its recent Sardinia shindig.
Geforce 6800 Ultra will end up faster then 450MHz. It's being achieved through the BIOS, and apparently some print magazines have already tested the new cards that are clocked faster. (ztj050305)
