    Nvidia G71 (7900 Ultra) 90nm 750MHz

    Im currently running 2 7800GTX 512 meg cards in SLI and they are both set at 610/1.76 on stock air no vlot mods, Idle temps are 44C full load can get up to 69C/71C so i dont see a major problem with Nvidia incresing the speed all too much. What i do find funny is the need for all these new cards...

    Availability of 7800GTX 512 = x800xt PE/6800Ultra

    When i go to priewatch there are 4 places that have the 512 meg cards instock, i mean they are available what else could you want? Do they have to be in a brick and mortar store? I bought mine at a local TigerDirect they have them in stock and on display.

    Is there any New AMD CPU on the horizon faster then the FX-57 or 4800X2

    Just curious, is the next leap in CPU tech still a year or more away? Is seems like right now the Video Cards are becoming light years apart from the CPUs which are bottelnecking the systems.

    Just use a program like POWERSTRIP, you can make custom resolutions to prevent overscan, Its what i use it very easy.

    GTX 512 non-availability

    They have been in stock at the brick and mortar Tigerdirect down the street from my house since i bought my 2 before they were officially launched. Sometimes a phone call never hurts sometimes the inventory online is different from there stock depending on the site.

    Why are people going crazy over the 512 MB GTX?

    All i gotta say is im glad i bought 2 of these 7800GTX 512 monsters, they are super quiet, i cant even hear them running, Furthermore there is a significant differencr over my old setup of SLI XFX 7800 GTX-OCs. If Ati gets a faster solution whether its one card or 2 i will go with it, but right...

So i dont see where ATI is gonna fit in unless they get there XFIRE mobos out, which i...
