Anyone interested?


We've learned that Nvidia has massive 1.5 million 8600GT cards in stock and it wants to get rid of the boards as soon as it can.

The 9600GT is already selling quite well and it needs to get rid of the 8600GT cards to make more space for the June launch of the 9500-series.

We've heard that this 1.5 million number includes both DDR3 and DDR2-based cards and we trust the source. At this particular time it won't be that easy to get rid of them and earn decent money at the same time.

It looks like ATI did mess up Nvidia’s graphics plans with its ridiculously low prices on the whole range of products, and this time around ATI played a dangerous game which was intended to kill Nvidia’s average selling price.

ATI lost money in Q1 2008 on the graphics, but it dragged Nvidia with it, and we are sure that it will affect Nvidia's numbers.
