The GeForce 7800 gs on 350 MHz chip clock and 1 GHz storing act one speculates. Furthermore it possesses allegedly 16 pixel pipelines and 6 Vertex Shader units as well as the usual 256bit memory interface. Only to the comparison: 7800 GT runs with 20 pipelines and 7 Vertex a Shader, against what the GTX can shine even with 24 pipelines and 8 Vertex Shadern.

PC Games hardware (PCGH) simulated this map once, by down-clocking a Quad - thus four pixels pipelines - deactivated and the chip clock on 375 MHz. Despite this restriction the map still 10%-20% faster than a GeForce 6800 Ultra ran.


According to rumors it means that a GeForce 7800 gs for the AGP bus is presumably to be announced on 2 February officially. The anvisierte price is to settle around the 280 US dollar.

I hope this pressures ATI to release a 12 Pipe X18 or X19 ... Though I imagine the X1700 may end up getting pretty close in performance to this.
