News: 7800GT and 6800GS to be beafed up with 512GDDR

[Cooper]

Gainward going to release 512MB versions of 7800GT and 6800GS. There will be 1.4ns chips which can give up to 1430MHz. Price still unknown but it won`t be cheap.

UPDATE

The INQ got their hands on Gainward BLISS7800GT Geforce 7800GS 512. Check out this review. Apparently no OCing were done, but it surely can be nice purchase for decent price

I wouldnt bother with it.

First and For most 512MB of Graphics Ram will not help in Gaming.. SO I see no reason for it unless you really love AutoCad

dependes of the kind of game i guess with maps pretty large 512mb with uncompressed textures is a need

Sure, but the faster RAM will help a lot with higher resolutions and high AA/AF settings.

And enough memory for uncompressed textures will improve image quality.

Good point.. Plus it will give you a little more room to overclock the Cards
But I think the Premium they are going to tack on Defeat the Highier Overclock..
Odds are the 6800GS 512 would cost about as much as a Plain 7800Gt (which would perform better when overclocked)
and the 7800Gt 512 would cost more than the 7800Gtx... Just a thought

[Daveb2012]

price is my only concern also I say I wouldn't bother with it only because Im sure it will be rediculous ammount of money, I mean look at this version of the 7800gt they made and how much its going for:

[JuanFlaiter]

Getting the 7800GT world record with these, would be a walk in the park.

[cirthix]

argh, they need 256mb versions with fast ram, not expensive 512mb cards

[Starscream]

wont nvidia soon stop making the 7800GT cores when they launch the 90nm G71s?
as im shure there wil also b a 7900GT.

[nn_step]

Correct StarScream.. infact they will Probably introduce the 7800Gs a couple months after the introduction of the G71s

[Victorshen]

i've seem an ad regarding the 7800GT 512M (1.4ns DDR3)
price is about 2699 CNY (could be translated to about 340 USD)
not too bad imo

[Cooper]

Nice price i`d say.
Komplett.no already has them in stock:
6800GS 512MB - kr 2.695,- ~380$
7800GT 512MB - kr 3.595,- ~500$

I understand this is very interesting and usefull stuff but what's this got to do with the topic ?

[NoNickToPick]

they should get faster memory, not more memory...

[Cooper]

They did both - 1.4ns/512MB against 2.0ns/256MB
please read carefully

Well, if you understood that these graphic processors can be programmed as super fast general purpose processors, then you would understand why more memory is important. i.e. memory is where the program and data are stored...duh.

I just ordered a 256m 7800Gt ive been an amd fanboi for a long long time so I havent folowed much about Nvidia at all..

Whats the difference between the gt and the gtx..why does the gtx clock so much better mine has 20 pipes isnt the gtx 24?
Im total noob at nvidia..
sry if this is thread crapping I just would like advice from u guys since u seem to know a helluva lot more about nvidia than I do..

[nn_step]

Well everyone should be polite.. just because someone attacks you doesn't give you the right to attack them.. Just drop it and let a Mod talk to them about their misbehavior and if they don't listen they wont come back.. SImple as that

[iq100]

Agreed.

Thread has been edited. Lets play nice. WTF is not a curse, its of regular use on the forums iq, so my apologies if you read it the wrong way.

And ofcourse, To the Forums

Now if only ATI would put some GDDR3 on the X1300 or X1600PROs...even the slowest gddr3 would give them a boost in games and benchmarks, and with a boost low enough not to threaten the X1600XT, but good enough to increase sales.

DDR2 is the suck.

Glad we finally both agree on that..
