GeForce 7800 specs(speculative)

[undertaker]

From guru3d:

A Japanese site called HKEPC posted some specifications and other info on NVIDIA’s upcoming G70 GPU.We noticed the G70 entry a couple of months ago already in some beta drivers. According to the post the new GPU will be announced on June the 22nd. It seems that there will be three products available based on this new GPU namely the GeForce 7800, 7800GT and 7800 GTX. What exactly the differences will be is unknown. Word is that the GTX version will be SLI compatible. The G70 should be made at the great (well small) 0.11 micron fabrication processes fro TSMC and will at the least have 8 more pixel pipelines compared to the current fastest product, yes indeed 24 pixel pipelines (yummie!), all that is clocked at roughly 430 MHz. That’s 10 Gigapixels per second and thus 60% more than the 6800 Ultra. Memory is supposed to be 256 MB GDDR3 memory clocked at 1.4 GHz. 0.11 micron process TSMC 430Mhz core / 1.4GHz 256MB GDDR3 memory 256-bit memory interface 38.4GB/s memory bandwidth 10.32Bps Fill Rate 860M vertices/second 24 pixels per clock 400MHz RAMDACs NVIDIA CineFX 4.0 engine Intellisample 4.0 technology 64-bit FP texture filtering & blending NVIDIA SLI Ready (7800 GTX only) DX 9.0 / SM 3.0 & OpenGL 2.0 supported G70 comes with 3 models; GTX, GT and Standard Single card requires min. 400W PSU with 12V rating of 26A SLI configuration requires min. 500W PSU with 12V rating of 34A Launch : 22nd of June As always, this is the rumormill talking here. Take everything with a grain of salt. I have reason to believe that all this is correct info though. Source: HKEPC

There is an error though 1.4ghz GDDR3 on a 256-bit bus means 44.8Gbps not 38.4Gbps.

The consoles wars has not even setteled yet and we are back to ATI vs nVIDIA… Heck it was ATI vs nVIDIA even in Consoles… I beleive nVIDIA going to own both this time… PS3’s and G70’s would rock :)…

[undertaker]

Yeah,Ati sucks anyway.No matter what the fanatics say.

[Quad_Master]

A new Nvida mean the previous version os Nvidas price fall’s

Till the time i get my rig i feel i will get a 6800 at 6600GT’s cost.

Nvida has always been my choice over ATI anytime

[undertaker]

Would love to see :
6800GT@13-15k
6600GT@7K
These should be the prices in 6 months from now.

[Switch]

Dream on man… In next six months the new chips wont be available and by the time the price drops to that level the new games which would be out will demand more power which the NV6 will not be able to offer…

[undertaker]

Nothing to dream about.Those are the intl. prices right now,creeping down every day.
I guess u r hurt,coz ur investment will lose value.Hehe.
The 6600gt started about at about 15k in Dec,now its 10k,come Nov it will be 7k or less.
PS:I don’t really care about hw in India anymore,though.

[avi_avadhut]

If 6600GT in only 7k then i will buy two (SLI).

till the time wait…

[Quad_Master]

wow man i too dreaming about it
hope so till july the price drops to atleast some 7-8K
for my new rig

[Rockyme2002]

Whoa…dnt thnk it will b july thou…
but prices r surely dropping fast…nd even whn the new cards will b introduced here it will still take sme time in INDIA to go down on prices for these cards

[Aces170]

LOL ppl R520 will be releasing too. But yes I dont take any sides if Nvidia has a better card at a good price I will take that.
Also if 6800 GT drops to 13k, X800 XL will be around 10k a still better deal !!! And if ATI comes out with SM 3.0 support it will be actual support not just a paper launch like NV4x series.

Looks like you guys have forgotten about 9700 Pro the way it crushed Nvidia. I wouldnt bet on an Nvidia whitewash yet, though they had a ver good 6xxx lineup.. For the moment I am with the RED team…

[Rockyme2002]

NOt a fan boy nyway…my 1st card was a geforce2 mx 200 , then 9800pro , nd now 6600gt, so lets just say tht whn comparisons cme out its whn ppl will be able to decide, cuz even in the past whn 6 series was about to release , ppl said it will be as much as thrice as faster, nd am wit Aces on the SM3.0 support, ATI implements it whn need is nd on time

[undertaker]

The Radeon 9700 crushing the 5800 was one battle in a long war,of which nvidia was won all the other battles…

[Aces170]

Relatively ATI is new in the game, in the start 3d fx did outperform the Nvidia cards till Geforce 2 GTS. Rt now also due to ATI’s pricing its right up there with NV, infact ATI yet holds the fastest crown for a SINGLE card solution with X850 XT PE. Not to mention the throwaway prices X800XT are going.

Midend Nvidia has an advantage with 6600 GT..

[saumilsingh]

Ati is the oldest player actually, the company goes back more than 20years.
Maybe you meant the 3d accelerator market.

Fanboism is retarded be it ati, nvidia or amd,intel - are you people consumers or lapdogs.
They are supposed to give us reasons to chose one hardware over the other, not the other way round.

I for one won’t let a shallow thing like loyalty keep me from buying the better card from either manufacturer.

[Aces170]

^^ Valid point, like I say I will go for the better card be it NV or ATI, had good experience with both of em.

[undertaker]

My point against ATi is simply this-Their entire Indian operation sucks big time.Low availablity,higher prices,and usually lower warranties compared to similar nvidia cards and inspite of that the idiot named Suki Matharu(their country head)makes outlandish statements like “We’ll destroy Nvidia”.Even his Canadian bosses don’t engage in such talk.
So,when I say “ati simply sucks”,it means ati simply sucks in India.

[Aces170]

LOL then again I have never got a video card from India other then a Sis card yrs back. But I believe their availbity is improving with Gigabyte now stocking ATI based cards, but I believe unless Sapphire is not available freely things are not gonna improve a lot.

[Blade_Runner]

Speaking if which sapphire was going to introduce their whole range in india na ? What happened to that ?
