Nvidia first told us that it wants to delay its cards due to the Chinese New Year falling in early February, but the real reason for the short postponement was a small technical problem with the early boards.

The problem is fixed, and now the companies are making its cards and preparing for the massive launch on the 21^st. This will be the first of many Geforce nine series cards to come in 2008.

Nvidia simply has to fight ATI in the lower segment, as ATI has more competitive products than ever that get very close to or end up faster, and this is not something that Nvidia can rest upon.
