9800GTX True or Hoax?

Well, I should have done my research better, i'm sorry if anyone got angry reading my first post.

After crawling the web for several hours today and yesterday i've come to a conclusion that nvidia 9800GTX will most probably never exist. And if nvidia is to release a succesor to 8800 series it will most probably be called something else.

Look at it this way, ATI/AMD does not have a worthy opponent to 8800 series, even the newly released ATI 38XX series. As long this remains nvidia have nothing to gain from releasing a new product, they still earn a pretty chunk on 8800 series. And for the love of free market i hope AMD/ATI release something powerfull pretty soon, or we will see nvidia xx00 something at price of over 1000$.

If we are to see new product from nvidia why will not be called 9800GTX? Well here is my thought about that one. AMD released 9000 series based on R300 in 2002 to deal with nvidia TI4xxx series, and they did a good job until nvidia released new product. That again resulted in ATI releaseing an upgraded version R350 which was called 9800, surely they didnt call them GTX or GTS or even GT, they called them SE, SE Ultra, XT, PRO etc. But even so I don't think nvidia will choose 9800 name, partly for the reason that their main competitor has allready used it or partly because of the marketing.

just to be frank, i'm tired of numbers, and if nvidia stick to numbers use roman numbers so 9800GTX could be something like XCVIII or call it GeForce 9 series. It will be harder to pronounce, but i think people will be more interested. I will at least.

By the way, any one knows than Assasins Creed will be realesed for PC platform?
