i said from the beginning that the next card after 7800GTX 512 would just be a die shrink, but nooooo everyone was on about 32 pipes, little old me must of been wrong.
24 pipes 90nm 650mhz
i said the same except for 700mhz, but we'll see that from the BFG and Gainward cards easily.
The one thing I know is that this core will not be clocking high....700 might be out there from delux BFG/eVGA models, with an even better cooler than the GTX-512's. G71 has had clocking problems from the beginning and they were certainly aiming for higher than 650. If it could do it, they'd do it, *unless* it already wipes the floor in terms of performance, a la the GTX-256's release at a moderate 430MHz.
Pricing!!!!!!!!!!!

So, $650 MSRP for 7900GTX. Lets hope nVIDIA has a HUGE supply so e-tailors don't sell for over $700...
It seems like Nvidia really been sleeping since 7800 256 card was released.

I hope the 7900 GTX drops below the $500 range, otherwise I'll get two 7900 GT
I think prices will be reasonable. A simple die shrink can only make it cheaper to produce for NVIDIA. This card is virtually here just to satisfy the demand for the 7800GTX 512 that they couldn't fill.
And if that 7900GT is starting at $300, it's looking extremely appealing.
It doesn't say $650... It'll be $549-$599, NOT $649.
Oth, if you get dual 7900GT nVidia sell more SLI chipsets = more money anyway...
I agree it is a bit weird though. Dual 79GT being both cheaper and faster than a single 79GTX. Something about this just doesn't feel right...
549 Euros...650 US dollars...Quote:

Perhaps I should've added a message. :)Quote:

Actually DilTech is probably right: Original source (The Inq) also says...Quote:

$299 in the US but Europeans will be able to buy this card for a more realistic €329
I was just stating the currency equivalent, and my source is different then yours regarding the pricing.
What is your source?Quote:

No, I think you didn't read me right. Techpowerup's source is "my" source.Quote:

This never was Techpowerup's scoop. All-in-all: We have only one "real" source: The Inquirer. (Although The Inq probably has a source itself it hasn't published, so The Inq is as far as we get in the source web.)
Hope I made myself clearer this time. :)
meh if Nvidia can make a good hardlaunch supply and keep the supply up ul see that price fall quickly.
Indeed, that's what happend with the GTX 256. nVidia rarely changes its MSRP, however retailers sometimes now what competition means by themselves.Quote:

That would make sense as 7900 GT look to have about 70% of the performance for the 7900 GTX. It's price/performance ratio has to be higher then the flagship.
Which is nice it could mean we have 7800 GTX performance at the 250US price bracket fairly soon if supplies are good.
I thought the production of anymore of the 7800 seris for PCI Express was canceled by nVIDIA?
I think you are thinking of the 6Series...Quote:

But they haven't called for it yet.. :p:
