From Anandtech:
With a near perfect record of execution, NVIDIA inspired great expectations when details first started leaking out about their next-generation GPU: NV30. But when ATI\'s Radeon 9700 was announced, launched and released to the public and we had still not seen as much as a demo of NV30 from NVIDIA, everyone began to worry.
Rumors ran rampant (as they always do) but it was none other than TSMC\'s 0.13-micron manufacturing process that kept NV30 from meeting its original release target, as well as its revised schedule. Just before the release of Matrox\'s Parhelia, NVIDIA briefed us on NV30 and promised a tape-out in May and retail availability in August. The part was sure to be a powerhouse and boasted some very impressive specifications, including a 350 - 400MHz core clock (which later turned out to be a significant understatement).
Once August rolled around and we had seen no signs of NV30, we finally got word from NVIDIA of the chip\'s revised schedule - now due out in the November/December timeframe. Not surprising at all, NVIDIA announced NV30 as the GeForce FX on the first day of Comdex in Vegas and they actually had working silicon up and running. We were told to be ready around Thanksgiving, presumably to start testing the boards but as you can guess, that didn\'t happen.
The GeForce FX 5800 Ultra will retail for $399, just like ATI\'s Radeon 9700 Pro; we\'d expect street prices to be a bit higher than the 9700 Pro, at least initially. As NVIDIA originally claimed, the FX 5800 Ultra will be shipping with a 500MHz core clock at 1GHz memory clock (effectively 1GHz that is). The card we received is what will be shipping in February and features the unique 2-slot cooling solution that NVIDIA shocked everyone with at Comdex.
