INSANITY, FOR SOME REASON THEY SHIPED ME A 7900GTX?!?!?!??!?

[rHy0]

Lol! Omg did you really think anyone with even half a brain with would believe that ridiculous claim!? Go cry for attention some place else!

 

[sweatlaserxp]

the card is massive i think it ways about 15lbs, it is also very long

Gosh that's a heavy card. It must be at least 4 feet long as well. I hate it when companies accidentally mail me prototypes. I have all these stupid AM2 processors and ATi X2800XTs laying around. Bastards.

As much as I think this guy is an idiot, the next Nvidia line would most logically be the 7900. Look at it like this, the 1800 series was a complete
generation gap from the X8xx.

Technically when you looked at it, the X stand for 10. So the X8xx, series means Radeon 10,800. When the previous gen was 9800. Now, I'm just ranting.

Since these newer cards are simply a refresh, the 1800-->1900.
The logical answer for Nvidia would the the 7800-->7900, then make there next card a whole new distinguished series line.

Ok...still tired...I guess those 3 cans of Redbull didnt help, I'm in queue for Arathi Basin, gotta go.

If Nvidia will decide to make an overclocked 7800 gtx then that card can be named 7900. If they'll make a new one, starting from 0, it could be named 8800( see the diff between 5900, 6800 and 7800). That's 4 sure that the engineers from Nvidia are working at a new card, but who knows if that new card will arrive just 2 beat the x1900xtx, or will have a completly new technology (xcuse 4 my english 😀)

No, the 7900gtx will NOT be an overclocked 7800 as the 512 version was. It will used the refined 90nm technology to hit far higher clock speeds.

 

[ak47is1337]

well, it's obvious that 7900 will have higher clock speeds.

The switch to Prescott and Netburst had higher clock speeds...
But tell me, how many Pentium 3's did Intel overclock?

 

[jeremy_pro]

Maybe they've mistaken juanes identity with some of nvidia's game tester? Lucky f*&ker. :?

 

[Rustol3um]

stop bsing in the forums dearest comrade. and 15 pounds is dum. that'll break off your mobo socket

I may be wrong, but the whole rig isn't even 15lbs. I'm talking any rig, maybe 5-10lbs, 15 punds for a vid card is so idiotic.

I must say that my rig is heavy .....deffinately more the 15 lbs.....maybe like 25 or so..but a 15lb vid card....guy needs to stop smokin crack and check himself into a clinic for being a chronic liar..

think its about time this thread was locked...

How the hell should I know?

7900 will have higher clock speeds, I'll say about 600-700MHz core, and about 1.4-1.5 mem. But nVidia should focus on the chip, rather than jacking up clock speeds and hoping for a miracle.

They are refining the entire chip to 90nm. That is focusing on the chip, isn't it?

 

[WOWchamp]

So what they sent you a stupid 7900GTX... I have here in my hands a new retail version of windows vista that they sent me instead of xp pro. That and when I ordered my radeon 9200 back in 03 they sent me a X1900XTX

yeah i knew that conspieracy about hardware makers having their best stuff hidden away for years before they give it to the public.

:O there is some truth to that. Products are produced but not released due to testing and production long before the actual date we see them out. For example, Conroe samples are already getting out. Also, Intel has already produced a 45nm chip-neither of these are ready for the market yet (or the market isn't reading for them 😉

 

[corvetteguy]

yeah but thats for testing purposes and to give other hardware makers time to adapt they're stuff like mobo's to the processor, i'm talking about finishing making it, then locking it in a trunk in a secret bunker in area51, so they can amke as many profits off the current stuff.

That's how it works. Intel wouldn't dare release Conroe now even if it was ready, as it would take market share away from the Pentium 4's, D's and so forth. Even if your product is just plain better, you don't want to show your competition the best you have straight up and let them try and beat it.

me 2 flakes me 2 and juanes go cry to your mommy wait nevermind vile has her now :lol:

Making it 90nm isn't recreating the whole chip.
Switching to 90nm is good enough for me =)

 

[ak47is1337]

If it boosts performace then I could care less.

Psh, if it overclocks higher, I will buy it.
Same reason I'm actually considering trading in parts of my rig for a Cedar Mill.

I thought intel was going on to 60 or 65nm?

Funny newbs like yours truly only post in the stupid threads and feel too inadequate to post info in the help threads. Hope one day I can reply to every damn thread with useful info. For now, I can counsel juanes.

They already have 65nm die out.
