We have got to know the specs for the upcoming 90nm G71 series already. There will be two models as we have revealed before; the GeForce 7900 GTX and GeForce 7900 GT. However, the performance differences between the two models seem to be pretty huge and we can expect quite a huge price difference too. We have yet to confirm on the number of pipelines on the 7900 GTX and GT but current sources point towards 32 and 24 pipelines respectively.

GeForce 7900 GTX will be clocked at 650MHz core / 1.6GHz memory and has 512MB GDDR3 1.1ns memories onboard while GeForce 7900 GT will be clocked at 450MHz core / 1.32GHz memory with 256MB GDDR3 1.4ns memories. We have also heard that GeForce 7900 GTX will win Radeon X1900 XTX in most benchmarks so we shall eagerly wait for the launch on March 9th at CeBIT.

Cant wait i want one :)
 
In the UK the price for a GTX 512 is over £550 so i dread to see the prices fo the 7900 prob £800 lol, thats if we ever see any of them. It is only now we are starting to see the 7800gtx 512. Also i would like to note that in the u.k you can get a X1900 for approx £350.

So why Nvidia are you taking the piss out of us? first you show us the 7800 512 months ago now when we can get a hold of 1 you tell us that there is a now and faster 1 coming out very soon!!!!!!!! :cry: :evil: :cry: :twisted:
 
I have my $600 in the bank for this baby... I've been expecting it!
:-D

I hope its no more than 600...

Also, I hope its a lot stronger than the x1900xtx just because I want something that scores higher than 13,000 in 3dmark05 to justify my transition from 2 7800 GTs in SLI (12,000)

its not going 2 score much higher than a stock xtx... there the same really 32 pipelines on the gtx 48 shaders on the xtx with 16 pipes, oh yeah the clocks are the same also 650/1.6 vs 650/1550 hopefully the price wont be to high like the 7800gtx 512

Hopefully the 7800 will come down in price, and the 7900 will take the place of the 7800 price what it is now.
Thats how it normally goes. :|


LOL i hate to own 2 x 7800's it would be much harded to sell 2 cards than 1
wait.....i think i wouldnt mind having 2 x7800 now i think about it. immm
 
woo hoo wish they could make a 7900 plain wih 20 pipes and same clock speeds

the 7900gt should have 24 pipes like the gtx and should outperform a 7800gtx... dont know how much memory it will have but 256 is what im guessing
 
STOP YOUR WHINING!!!!!! IT'S CALLED THE ADVANCEMENT OF TECHNOLOGY, AND NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO GET ONE, SO SHUT UP!!!!!

Why bring out a card when you cant get it anyware and when they finaly ship them in there is a new faster card just coming out within weeks. what would you do if you just ordered a 512 gtx then you hear this. The technolagy cant change on these cards overnight Nvidia and ATI are taking the piss they are not takin steps the are takin inches. Both ATI and Nvidia probably have cards that are X2 better in every way that we are seeing now but they wont bring them out they will only make slight improvments to cover them selfs so thy stay ahead incase the technolagy does slow down. Im sorry prozac26 but you see were am coming from not 1 of the companes are wanting to take a big step from each other and they should because they can. :evil: :twisted: :evil: :twisted:
 
omg kid, be quiet you are embarrasing yourself. You know nothing about business, and what it takes to make money.

If I was a company, why the fu#$ would put out one product, that would corner the whole market, including my own? If they put out a product that would be so incredible, it would be useless, because the products out right now blow every game away. Plus, if say, ATI, was to make some monster card, no one would buy a card after that monster card for quite a long time.

Incremental technological introductions insure consumer spending. Thats economics. Can't fight it. Even if you live in China. They make it, you want it. That lets them call the shots. Deal with it by yourself, we don't want to hear your moronic jibberish.

I know nothing about business i help run a 23 square mile country sporting estate in Scotland and i live in a nice house in the country with a nice Land Rover and for my job i go fishing every day and guess what else i get paid wot u doing sitting at a desk all day am :lol: now.
 
and the best part of all of this is that the g80 is coming out 3 months later and it will make every 7000 series look like a joke, but thats the way of the tech world enjoy, and imo if you have a 7800 just wait for the g80 why even bother with the 7900

1. Send the card back if you just got it. You lose 15%, or about that, but if you have $xx amount of money to blow on a 7800gtx you're probably wealthy.
2. NVidia and ATI compete for their 'crown' and trying to be the best card company out there. That's why were seeing a card every month and a half-ish.
3. No, they don't have a really advanced card, because if they did, why wouldn't THG and other places have any news on it?
 
The inquirer sources suggest that the 7900 is a 7800 on the 90nm process; so it's a highly overclocked 7800 GTX. 24 pipes, but clocked at 650 Mhz... if that's the case it's still going to be a close race with the X1900.

I guess we'll find out soon.
 
I guess there are a lot of dumb pretentious idiots that are wealthy in Scotland then...makes sense. I'm still young buddy, and in three years, I'll be able to afford to buy your crummy Range Rover and have it properly disposed of in the fcukin Long Beach Bay.

I don't give a damn who the hell you are, and how productive you think you are. You are an idiot. I don't believe that anywhere in my last post did I state that idiots aren't capable of making money. link to yourself you waste of a human genome.

Personally I thought pointing out that the 512mb 7800 GTX is obscenely expensive and was unavailable until very recently was a decent point!

I guess there'll always be mugs who'll upgrade at every given opportunity, regardless of value for money.
