Someone at NvNews received a Geforce 7800?

[oldsk00l]

Clay doesn't use Asus though. At least, in his sig. At least we know who it ISN'T though so that kinda narrows it down :D

[ricercar]

I don't know of NVIDIA ever giving free product to employees. NVIDIA didn't offer even an employee discount on graphics cards until 2001, and never has offered employee discount on xBox. NVIDIA employees at conferences where a card is given to each attendee are asked to give the cards back to the company. Does this sound like a company that will give a 7800 to each employee?

Never happened. Never will.

That's his AGP motherboard, the one he's trying to sell. I'm guessing he's building a new PCIe system, if he got that 7800.

Though he's not exactly from nvnews, I'm sure it's Ronin (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/member.php?find=lastposter&t=46724).

Yep. I'm pretty sure it's Ronin. Check his sig:

He has both the ballistix and the A8N SLI and he's a forum admin at http://forums.nvidia.com/ .

And just see what he has for his home page (http://server.counter-strike.net/). ;)

[rohit]

He says he works for ATi and NV, but wont say in what capacity. He has shown a pic of his video cards. They are in school like cuby holes, and he has a hundered or so. I think its the real deal, he posts primarily on nvnews, and anand.

I wanna knw, if this guy is frm nvnews, then how come those pix werent posted here first..? how come they reached B3D?

Good catch! .. the PSU goes with the specs as well .. i suspected it to be a TT.

[jAkUp]

Yea looks like a match... Clay doesnt add up. He doesn't have that mobo, and doesnt use ballistics.

[Riptide]

Ronin isn't a staff member is he? His last activity was on 5/29 and he has less than 100 posts.

[Dr@Home]

Ronin? at the Nvidia forums he's a mod

That FTP has many of Ronin's sig's and also have all the images.. as well as this..
http://img30.echo.cx/img30/5123/780049zx.jpg

And these are the specs that we can identify from the pictures released before:

ASUS A8N-SLI
2 Sticks of Crucial Ballistics memory
Audigy souncard
3 SATA Hard Drives
120mm Stealth fan on XP120?
7800GTX

omg owned by speed! :D

Ok that one looks a hoax! :D .. i mean come on 720Mhz core!!!!oneone

Add to that a Thermaltake PSU.

[killahsin]

:eek: maybe thats the card we saw from computex thatw as completly fried

lol

[jAkUp]

I found this also..

[killahsin]

lol@ all those fans

[Dr@Home]

I found this also..
dunno what to make of it besides it's the case with the card in it... :confused:

edit- the OC is done on air cooling maybe?! :eek:

[killahsin]

if so thats some serious oc headroom maybe water/air combined lol. Who needs all those fans just mod yourself a side panel thats one massive fan!

[Dr@Home]

if the pic is real, i think the core will be much much higher than the 430Mhz rumor..
dare i start a rumor of my own saying 600Mhz core? :)

[SH64]

I found this also..

Thats a Tt Shark case ... i did use the same way of attaching fans on the side plate to cool the SLI cards down.
maybe he is testing the SLI capability too ? :eek: .. nah i dont think so .. theres only one 7800 in those pics.

hmm if we assume 600Mhz core clock .. the fillrate will be 14.4Gp/s!

EDIT : there are more interesting stuff (http://server.counter-strike.net/images/misc/woah.jpg) in that server than i'd imagine :naughty:

[Dr@Home]

whatever they use for stock core clocks, 720 is awesome!

[Viral]

Only problem seems to be the fan listed in his sig.. it's not the stealth seen in the pics.

[gsgrunt]

I cannot wait. A g70 @ 700mhz+ . Who wants to take my 500 bucks?

[shabby]

Oh oh me me :)
I wasnt expecting 700+mhz, but damn a 24pipe card at that speed is going to own everything.

[SH64]

Hold down your horses guys we are still not sure if these pics are legit or not yet. it could be just someone practicing photochopping or something heh ..
