Like all Turbo Cache cards it's limited to 64Bit Memory Interface further helping reduce costs.

If we used the Vanilla Geforce 6600 as an example that not only is more expensive to make because of a larger die size and 128Bit Memory Interface, It lacks the newer features of the G7x series such as TAA, enhanced pixel shader units, video features etc.

So to summarize, the GPU will cost less to make for Nvidia, and gives more performance then the MSRP product it's replacing, what's not to like??? Both NV and the consumer win.

so basically thier isnt a more less expensive card out their that can out perform a 7300 series card is what your saying?

Yeah, less expensive for you to buy perhaps, less expensive for Nvidia to make no.

Still no 7300/7600 in the USA yet.. *grows impatient*

will b a while till the 7600 hits anywere.

im having my ideas about what kind of card the 7600 can b if u look a the gap between 7300 and soon to come 7900.

Why do you assume that the 7600 will be in the middle of the gap?

that is a wide gap... i dont think the 7600 will fill that gap i guess more something like 7300 7600 7800gt (more near too the 7800gt)


anyone has any info on the 7900gt?

true i think there will b a quicker version of the 7300, one with 128bit that can actualy beat the X1300pro.

but i doubt theyl continue the 7800 when the 7900 comes.
as its 110nm, the GTX would b near the price of a potential 7900gt etc.

stil the gap between a 128bit 7300 and 7900GT is big.
and i doubt theyl keep making 7800s once the 7900 is around.

7800gt is so cheap now... hope the 7900gt keeps that price range

Well it would depend on how powerful it is in realtion to 7800 GTX 256.

I highly doubt there will be a 7900Gt because the 7900Gtx is to be like the 6800Ultra
last great of the 7series

that's some simpleton logic you got going there.

then what will they do with the G71 cores that dont meet the requirements to be a GTX?
and what will they do to feed the market thats below the 7900GTX?
as i doubt theyl keep continuing the 7800 cards.

maybe a 90nm 7800GT.

this dutch site got a few pics of the 7600.

http://tweakers.net/nieuws/41117

the first one is the 7600GT i guess and it doesnt seem to have an external power connector :)

the 2nd one with that huge heatsink is the 7600GS i gues.
and u see a black line in the shape of a horse shoe on that huge heatsink wich maybe is a heatpipe?

You beat me to it :D

Seems like a good card to me!

:p:

hope it uses less power then the X1600 while giving more gaming power then it will b my next media pc grafix card.

That's amazing that it doesn't use an external power connector. NVIDIA's 90nm design must be really good. And it should be at least as fast as the 6800GS in most cases, I'm predicting.

Isn't the 7600 going to be a 90nm 6800gs on a 128bit memory interface?

If so the added clocks will help speed things up, but the narrow bus will limit the use of aa/af at higher resolutions.

Yeah lets hope Nvidias move to 90nm is a good move.

shouldnt take long for these cards to get into retail as Nvidia said a while ago that the 7600 will use the same pcb design as the 6600 so the switch on the production line should b a quick and easy one.

Yeah, it will be. If you look at how people overclocked the 7300gs, it overclocks to a decent core speed, similar to lower-volted x1k products. Turn up the juice a little, and the 700mhz specs seem within reason, 750mhz seems possible they might get a yield problem though, hence a slight wait.

Vr-zone posted a while back that 7600gt will be 12 pipes, 128bit, with high(er) clock speeds, I figure somewhere around stock 600. So yeah, I think it garner pretty decent performance, perhaps inbetween 6800gs/gt/u and 7800gs performance like was stated, I think probably overclocking ~7800gs power or better...It is planned to be the mid-range for quite a while, as I understand it (although you think g80 would make you think other-wise), and they probably want it to last.

Vr-zone also said products will be released on the first day of CeBit. Here's the article BEFORE it was editted (:slapass: ;)) :

The GeForce 7900 GTX will be launched at CeBIT on 9th of March while the GeForce 7900 GT will be launched later on 20th March most likely together with the GeForce 7600 series. There are little information about the pipelines and clock speeds yet. The current rumours implied a 32 pipes G71 so if that is true, 7900 GT could be 24 pipes. We overheard a yield issue that leads to the delay so it could probably meant a high core clock or too many pipelines causing the problem.

No doubt there will be a 512mb 7900gt (as has been stated) as well, even if it isn't mentioned.

I`ve read somewhere that 7900GT will be equivalent to curent GTX512 - specs wise.

We started receiving information about the future GeForce 7600. Two versions could be released at least mid March. Both will be clocked at 500/500 MHz core/GDDR3 memory, but won't include the same amount of processing units:

- GS: 8 pixel pipeline, 3 vertex engine
- GT : 12 pixel pipeline, 5 vertex engine

seems like a low core speed considering it's 90nm, and the 7300GS can do higher on a passive cooler.

lets hope it means we can clock the snot out of it :).

that are they wanna leave some headroom to counter a possible X1700.
or those clockspeeds are so it wont need an external power connector.
but i had expected the ram to b clocked a lil higher.

hello guys i found this.


Small resume:

Specs:

GeForce 7600GT has
12 pixel pipes
5 Vertex Shaders
core: 500Mhz,
mems: 500mhz 1.4ns Tristar width 128bit

3dmark03: 11712


3dmark05: 5426


p.d. look at the cpu that they used, screenshot in the link below
