Info on new NV 7900 cards

[RobertR1]

If this info is true, nvidia should be able to take down the R580 in just about everything (likely everything) due to it's raw power. If the 7900 is launched right after the R580 in mass quantities and around $699, Ati will have a hard time selling the R580.

Late Jan/early Feb. should be quite interesting.

I'm curious to see how true these 700MHz 32-pipe rumors are. To me it just seems like a monumental leap to not only add another 2 quads but to also increase the core clock by 150MHz (27% increase). Even when the 7800 series debuted it added 2 quads but not much happened with clockspeeds (+30MHz or 7.5%). I'd like to be proven wrong but it sure seems unlikely to me.
