Ooo nice. I'll take 7800GS for 250 Alex.

 

[dug777]

hmmm looks pretty hawt

Nice. Just like the 6800GS, this doesn't mean too much to those of us with 7800GT's or above, but it's good to see that Nvidia isn't resting on their laurels.

Is the 7800GS a 90nm or 110nm part?

Kristopher I think you miss typed this part of the article.

"The 7800GS uses the same 90nm G70 core as the GeForce 7800GT and 7800GTX."

You mean 110nm G70 core.

This is the specs (correct me if im wrong):
7800GS
110nm
16pixelpiplines
6Vertex Shaders
Core clock of 375mhz
Memory Clock of 500(1000)mhz GDDR3
256bit
255mb of VRAM
6000MT/s
6000MP/s
32gb/s bandwidth
Single slot
SLi
TAA + 100% functioning Pure Video
Dual DVI according to the picture
MSRP of 299 my guess. Since the MSRP of the GT is 399 and the GTX 499 (changed when the 512mb GTX was hard launched).
Probably sell of alot cheaper, maybe even for 250ish, it will be pretty much a bang for buck card.

This is my take.

You mean 110nm G70 core.

Hehe - thank you. I fixed it.

No problem

"Stay tuned for the full review within the next few days!"

We're waiting!!!

 

[RichUK]

are the locked pipes most likely software disabled or hardware disabled?

 

[Mem]

Nice move by Nvidia,however I have my Leadtek 7800GT Extreme being delivered today so I'll be a happy gamer .

 

[Chriz]

Hmmm looks nice, wonder if they will release this in an AGP version too

 

[Creig]

If the disabled pipes CAN be unlocked, my X800XT PE may end up rendering Barbie games on my daughter's PC.

 

[fierydemise]

Maybe I won't be getting a 6800GS for Christmas

LOL! Still obsessing over that?

BTW, Can I look forward to reading that review while digesting a huge meal on turkey day?

 

[Zap]

If it comes in at $250 and can be unlocked - would be HOT!!!

My guess is no, just like the PCIe 6800 and the 7800GT. I think nvidia caught on and wasn't happy Remember what happended when the found out DFI was selling the non-sli chipsets that could be so easily modded?

My $.02!

Hey now, Nat. We'll have none of that.


Here's to hoping there is a mod for this card. We need a moddable card from the X1800/7800 generation.

 

[otispunkmeyer]

i doubt they will be able to unlock the extra pipes. it will be exactly like the 7800GT....uses the same G70 core, but nvidia have caugt on about unlocking pipes with the 6800NU etc, i tried unlocking the pipes in my 7800GT's and it didnt work. theres probably no software way round it.

good chance that these parts could be early G70 chips too, so they may not clock all that well and likely have 16 pipes for a reason (ie the other 4/8 are busted)

could be good though if they are from the newer batch of G70 chips....the 512's clock up to 600! so ....cant wait to see this card!

[Teetu]

it says 2006 release, but anyone have a more specific release date?

I'm hoping since you can get a 7800GT for 300, that shortly after release you can pick one up for $200 with mir or something

Yeah, he's got me there. But did you guys have to go using that scary 4 letter word? :shocked:

This might be an affordable G70 SLI solution for many of us. I can't wait to see how it does in the official review.
