7900gs released.

What the fudge...how the hell is it that cheap??!?

Well, because its a GS, you can tell that it is slower than a 7900GT. At least, I think that's the case.

From the specs:
Fragment Pipelines: 20 (24)
Vertex Pipelines: 7 (8)
Texture Units: 20 (24)
Raster Operators: 16

I don't know if its got 24 pipe or not... if it does its an amazing deal. if its just 20 its proabably a bit faster than a 7800GT.

Either way thats pretty good price.

I'm a bit confused by the numbers in the parenthesis. What do they mean?
 
I think they are comparing to the current generation of the 7900 series. They normally have 24 pipes but the 7900GS has 20. And so on and so forth.

exactly. Its either 20 pipe card or a 24 pipe card I don't know. Thats how they have it listed.
 
So it's a new 7800GT????

Alright, pretty good for such a cheap price (if that really is the price). What kind of ram does it have? And whats it's OCing potential?

GDDR3. Since its from the 7900 family, you can probably assume it will OC well.

The price is amazing. looks like decent ram I would say the core should be able to clock pretty high and can possibly unlock to 24 pipes?

Sell the house. What's more important?!

Anyway, if this price sticks, I wonder what would happen to the 7600gt.
 
Well, the site says:

And yes, we?re selling nVidia?s own product for a lower price than they?ll charge when they bring it to market. That faint popping sound you hear is your mind being blown.
 
Wasn't Nvidia suppose to come out with like a ZT, LE, LT, and other stuff for the 7900? Or maybe I've just been smoking something...
