Rumors stating NVIDIA's woes with their 9600GT
are confirmed. In a memo, NVIDIA talks about why the release date was pushed
back to February 21, 2008. It looks like both companies had some hiccups
relating to their new product releases. Let us hope ATi has their driver issue
solved as well.
"NVIDIA found a small percentage of GeForce 9600 GT boards exhibiting a voltage transient on the NVDD power supply during certain applications. They have reason to believe that this may cause a system hang under certain conditions. In order to provide the most robust and reliable solution possible to NVIDIA's customers they have decided to hold shipments in order to make some minor modifications to reduce the transients.
NVIDIA's engineering team has identified the necessary modifications and they are in the process of verification. I will communicate the exact modifications to you as soon as they have been verified and we will communicate the new shipping schedule in the next few days.
Since we are now running into the Chinese New Year holiday NVIDIA have decided to move the launch date out a week in order to ensure that our partners have enough time to get product on shelves at the time of launch.
***New GeForce 9600 GT launch date is Feb. 21st***..."
