Rumors: Nvidia G70 Ultra Cancelled
The Inquirer is reporting this morning that nVidia does not plan on launching the G70 Ultra as sales are doing good and the ATI R520 is still a number of weeks away. If you have been waiting on the G70 Ultra to come out one might want to change their purchasing plans.
NVIDIA DECIDED to cancel its upcoming G70 Ultra card, a real shocker. We checked this news really well as it sounded crazy to us at first place. However, there is good business sense behind that hard decision. Nvidia knows that ATI can no ship many R520 XT’s running at 600/1400MHz and therefore won’t get into relaunching a new faster clocked G70 chip. The G70 Ultra was supposed to be a faster version of G70 card based on existing 110 chip, just clocked faster. Nvidia G70 ultra would likely be very competitive to R520 XT but it would hurt G70, Geforce 7800 GTX sales and therefore Nvidia won’t release it. So all of you who have been waiting for 7800 Ultra you can just forget about it.
