Hehe. You assume because the 7800 launch was this way that every launch for Nvidia is going to be the same from now to forever. You have too much blind faith in Nvidia. I predict that these cards will be in limited supply since they need to speed-bin to get chips that clock this high. Doesn't matter though really, because not too many people are gonna be willing to pay $600-650 for a video card anyways.

ok, I stopped reading the thread there, sorry if this has been covered in later posts, but...

You're dead wrong about people not paying $600 for a video card. Several baord members here have already proving they are willing to pay $600 for an X1800XT, so why would people not spend that on a card that is going to obliterate the X1800XT?

I believe these cards will be readily available and will come down in price at the same rate of all of Nvidia's other flagship products. Why would you think not? Just because ATI has had problems? I think Nvidia has already proved that they are not having ANY of the problems ATI is having/had. This card is for sure a respin of the G70 process which means more maturity and better yields. I know that because if it isn't and these cards really are speed binned, then Nvidia will have lost all of it's PR ammunition against ATI. It would make more sense for Nvidia to have NOT launched the 7800U at all if it were gonna get blasted for the same reasons ATI has. That being said, expect a decent overclock on G71.

Your fanboyism is showing a little tonight eh?

PS. Once G71 pushes the GTX and GT prices down, ATI will really be screw jobbed because everyone sitting on a mid-range card, including myself, will have a field day with a sub-$300 7800GT. What is ATI going to have in that price range?

Morph makes nothing personal about being a fanboy. He is as public as he can be.
He knows this and I think is actually proud of this. Although I will never know the motive behind it. Looks like the comment stopped hiim dead in his tracks because I see no response to something he cannot answer without losing even more face. He doesn't have much face left if any. So I asked if he had any evidence. Apparently he does not. He got called out, and backed down because thats what happens when you major in FUD.

There is no evidence that there is any such thing as a G71, so why should I have to present evidence against it when it hasn't even been shown to exist in the first place? This rumor was only started from speculation by wishful thinking Nvidia fanboys.

See my reply above. There is no evidence for the existence of a G71. At this point it's nothing more than wishful thinking on your part.

+ Reports from ZZF + Newegg employees about when they'll be in

+ XFX bios being posted

Seriously, I swear MORPH works for ATi

There was no evidence of R520 a months ago, try again.

Round One...

Round Two...

Round Three...

Knock Out...

I dont think a reseller is going to put that AD up for the 7800GS

Furthermore, I really liked that ad, simple, but effective. Didn't even mention what was going to be launched and you already know ATI is up sh1t creek.

I don't like to argue NV vs ATi, it makes u look like a fanboy.

I like to argue card vs card.

And 2 things are obvious


A. The 7800 GTX is 95% as powerful as the x1800 XT and $100+ less

B. If that extra $100 makes no difference to you then get a 7800 GTX 512mb

The x1800 XT cant compete

Same with x1800 0XL vs 7800 GT, only the 7800 GT is BETTER in 4/5 of the benchmarks as well as cheaper.

 

[M0RPH]

I'm not questioning whether the 7800GTX 512MB (or 7800GS) cards are coming. I'm questioning this unfounded notion that they are based on a new respun G71 chip. One person on some forum speculates this and all the Nvidia fans get all excited and start passing it around as fact.

I think that ad makes total sense if it's for the 7800GS.

Round 1: High End. nVidia's part cannot be matched, because the competition is waaaay late.

Round 2: Mid Range. The 7800GT beats the X1800XL, and was out a long time before it.

Round 3: Low End. 7800GS vs. ???

Victory this match: nVidia.

Ok, I'll buy it.

How about:

Round One: 7800GTX

Round Two: 7800GT

Round Three: 7800GS + 7800U

=

Knockout

I still dont think it's for the GS though. You don't get people hyped up to buy a lower end product. You dont butter people up to pay $250, you butter people up to pay $600!

 

[liquid51]

$600 retail would be awesome... Won't make me feel so bad for paying almost that much for the KO. Only an extra $30 or so... hell yes (step-up, of course )

 

[Boze]

My older brother's gonna be happy... he's getting my two 6800 Ultras the moment these arrive in the mail... I can't wait to see EQ2 at 1920 x 1200 at Extreme Quality... maybe this time next year I can run it at 1920 x 1200 at Extreme Quality with 4xAA and 8xAF with the cards that'll be out then...

Heh... I'd definitely like to see that happen, as I have an evga card that is just dying to step-up . However, I still think we'll only see the GS tomorrow (today) and the 512 MB GTX next week. A month or two ago nvidia had an ad touting "The Power of 3!" and it turned out to be just an ad for SM 3.0. This ad could be just as much of a disappointment.

A part such as this could be preparation for whatever ATI's R580 might be. That's if these are what they are claimed to be. But we shall see.
