Nvidia G84 and G86 delayed

NVIDIA APPEARS TO need a respin both G84 and G86 to A03 silicon. Not much more to say: buggy, needs more time, and it will most likely delay the April 17 launch. If the firm does launch it on April 17, it will be a soft launch, not the usual hard variety.

Um, what?

INQ's article says exactly the opposite of this one: that there were no bugs, plenty of working samples/retail cards out, and nVidia had enough product stockpiled up to flood the market. http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=6616

depends on the source I guess; I didn't see any running demo's with the new mid-range DX10 cards at Cebit though, but didn't go behind all scenes at all booths
