Both Custom and Founder Graphics GeForce 3000 cards Launch Simultaneously
As the topic title says, word out on the cyber street is that custom (AIB) and NVIDIA Founder Graphics GeForce 3000 cards would launch simultaneously.
It has to be stated that this is based on chatter on the web, so take the news with a bit of care. Historically NVIDIA has been launching founder cards first, and then a few weeks later the AIB/AIC's (board partners) could launch their revised models with all the improvements they added. It's, however not confirmed.
From the looks of things we'll get a bit of a teaser on August the 31st, official announcements on September the 9th, the 17th the actual release. It has to be stated though, it's NVIDIA and just based on all the media news with semi-confirmed launch dates, for kicks and giggles they could just shuffle it up a little here and there.
Since we now have three dates I could throw in another argument, August the 31st announcements, September the 9th release and founder card reviews and the 17th AIB availability. That's just a thought though. But it is safe to say that early September you all get to learn all you want to know about the new Ampere based graphics cards.

It is business decisions like these which keep Nvidia out front.
Now we can see why it went from $120 to over $400 per share in a year.
As the underdog, AMD cannot simply sit back waiting to see what Nvidia will do.
If AMD does not get 'cracking' with their own launch in the days ahead or immediately afterward...by the time they come to market, folks will have already spent it on Nvidia products.
Just from reading these boards, most of the guys are salivating like ravenous dog for these cards.
Every sale of an Nvidia card is one less for AMD.
It isn't a question of sitting back waiting to usurp with a faster GPU.
They have to consider what it is they're trying to achieve...namely sales of product.
Nvidia is a better known brand and has already established itself as the leader in GPU technology.
If AMD brings a good product at a good price, they can get out ahead of the competition.

Why are you pointlessly dictating to those who already know better?
If they could release earlier they would, there is a formal process they must go through to prevent giving us cards with severe issues.
You must have seen the previous number of problems after launch, do you imagine they would want to make things worse?

What the hell are you on about about?
Do you see me 'dictating' anything?
I simply made a statement to the fact that once AMD has a working product, they cannot simply sit back waiting to see what the competition has as the basis for their own release.
Don't like the response then just move the hell on.
Simple.

I have heard that the Founders Edition has the best PCB and Components quality? Is is true?

I hope you are wrong with your prediction...
