HEXUS got great G71 details, it will be called Geforce 7900 GTX, not the 7900 Ultra based on rumour mills, it will have 32 pipelines and have 2 differents core and memory clocks - 700/1600 for standard version and 750/1800 for OC version. 7900 GTX will score 13.000 3DMark 05 and higher clocked 7900 GTX should score 14,000 3DMark 05. It will be launch at CeBit 2006 in March then 7900 GT will launch probably a month later in April, I guess 7900 GT will have 28 pipelines. :)

March?? I thought it was going to launch sooner than that.

Looks like ATi is going to have the performance lead until then.

Nonetheless that is an amazing score :D Almost as much as my 2x7800GTX 512's get! It seems to be scoring about 1K 3Dmark's more than the x1800XT-X is going to get.

[superklye]

Holy crap. I want to see prices on both...it may be time for an upgrade!

After I pay off this tuition debt. sigh.

[Marvel_us]

Yea, I thought sooner as well but I guess it's not too bad.

So if we can expect this in march, G80 is around September/Octoberish?

If this news is correct this IMO will be worth the upgrade until G80 comes.

[walterman]

March?? I thought it was going to launch sooner than that.


Yeah, same here, i hope that they will launch sooner.

So, if they're going to launch in March, the cards will be in Europe 1 month later at least. :(

[jAkUp]

G80 in Fall 2006 should be the SM4.0 part for Vista I suppose, I wonder what it will bring to the table performance wise.

[FPS3lusive]

Does anyone know if the G80 is going to support DX 10.0?

[jAkUp]

Yes it will/should. It needs to support DX10/SM4.0 for Vista.

[grimreefer]

woah

[lee63]

Oh well, I was hoping to step up in Feb, darn :thumbdwn:

[jAkUp]

Yea me too :( Oh well, looks like the G71 will be right in time for UT2007 :D

[Marvel_us]

Now we just need a rumored price. I really hope it's not as high as the 512 GTX.

My student pockets will probably be only deep enough to get one.

[withmyshadow]

any info on 7600?
that's the one in my range, anyway ;)

[snowmanwithahat]

holy cow..... i thought my 13,000 in 3dmark'03 was good when i got this... now 14,000 in 3dmark'05...... scary....

With 10 vertex shaders now on the g71 and clocks at 700mhz+, the 3dmark2005 score will be higher (almost doubled) for g71 compared lower clocked 8 vertex shader unit g70 at lower clocks of 430mhz+delta.Thats a huge vertex throughput increase for which 3dmark2k5 scores benefits because 3dmark2k5 is known to be very vertex shading demanding! Therefore, the limititation of gettinf high 3dmarks has been mostly lifted.

I wanna see quake4, FEAR scores! It will interesting to see the difference between the g71 and r580 on the same system.

HEXUS got the X1900 XT Crossfire benchmark and pricing here (http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=4346).

A single 7900 GTX card score 13,000 3DMark 05 are on par with dual X1900 XT Crossfire score 13,501 3DMark 05, X1900 XT Crossfire will cost $1098, that $549 each card.

I think 7900 GTX card will cost $549 to $599 and $649 to $499 for higher clocked version. 750MHz 7900 GTX to score 14,000 should be on par with dual X1900 XTX Crossfire that probably will score 14,501 3D Mark05.

If Nvidia decide to sell it at $499 for standard clock then ATI will have a massive problem that could lead ATI to financial ruins.

[FPS3lusive]

Anyone have an Idea of what the 7900 GTX is suposed to retail for? Any idea if these will actually be produced enough to fit the demand of consumers, Or just like when the 7800 512 GTX came out, It went for $100 above MSRP.

Nvidia really needs to think about consumers actually buying there products. Insted of whoring themselfs to Dell to push 250,000 units and everyone else pays jacked prices becuse there are no GPU's left...


Is this gpu out just to smoke ATI's new card? Hold us over dreaming about getting the 7900 GTX for $800-$900 proly $200 over msrp. When in actuality its just holding us over until the G80 NV50 DX 10.0 is out.... a few months later... Time will tell..

FUQ The computer politics ppl just wana buy ***** thats good at a decent price. No one pays over MSRP accept in the computer business...

Any news about possible tweaks to the ROPs for HDR+AA ?

[bkswaney]

Well, After the 7900 comes out maybe I can afford a 7800GTX512.
I like bang for the buck. I just cannot throw out 650+ bucks for
a video card anymore. Not having a wife and twin 5yo boys.

Those r some nice scores though. I always stayed with the big
dogs till I had kids. ;)
I need a job making a lot more money these days. :)

I figured it would be cebit for it's release. Nvidia will run the 512 and
get at least 5 to 6 months out of it before a new release.
They just need to get some 512's to the stores.

Yes, that is true if nVidia indeeds sells at that price. I still have your October four month prediction bookmarked! :D

What the article DOES state:
G71 will be 90nm
nVidia plans to launch both a 7900GT AND GTX at the same time
that time is around early to mid March
the 7900GTX will have a core clock of 700-750MHz (it's written as though they're estimating a range) and a memory clock of 800-900MHz.
Nowhere in the article is there mention of 14,000 3DMarks or 2 different clocked GTX's
AthlonXP1800, your devotion to nVidia is commendable, but did you just pull that 14,000 number out of your ***, and attribute it to Hexus?

Well remember back to the day Geforce 7800 GTX launch, it clocked 430MHz for standard and weeks later EVGA, Gainward and XFX released higher clocked 490MHz 7800 GTX Extreme editions. G71 7900 GTX will be replaced 7800 GTX that been released since June last year. For higher clocked 7900 GTX, I should been refered it as "7900 GTX Extreme". :D

[911medic]

Hey, I have no doubt that card makers will sell overclocked versions of nVidia cards for generations to come. But when you reference an article and mix your own guesses as to benchmark scores with near direct quotes from that article, it's misleading. You even contradict the article you reference and say the GT will be released a month later than the GTX.
You draw no line between your own suppositions and the material presented in the article, which is wrong. You make it appear as though Hexus is making those statements.

On topic, the new card looks extremely impressive.

Did u know Nalu demo has HDR+AA.

U can do HDR+AA on NV cards but the developers have to code the pS to take care of the AA. I was wrong apparently, AA is not limited to ROP function....

More tidbits floating around the net about the new Nvidia cards..

http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://www.nv-power.fr/Rumeur-G71-72-73-...-et-80,nv96.htm&prev=/search%3Fq%3D7900%2BGTX%26start%3D20%26hl%3Den%26l r%3D%26sa%3DN


At the time of the conference of the CSFB , two représentantq of the firm of the Chameleons allowed some variations: promoted or innatendus by Nvidia, always is it that they quite simply announced the characteristics of the 7200, 7600, while also passing by one 7900, and our future 8800...



First of all, the 7200 will be logically equipped with G72, the chip would work in 64bits, and would be compatible with Turbocache technology .

The 7600 for its part will be equipped with G73, and will just like leave the 7200 in the first quarter 2006.

Then, the G71 chip will be it engraved in 90nm, and will be given rhythm with... 750MHz!!! The read-write memory with which it will be equipped should be Samsung 1ns, that is to say practical frequencies of 950/1000 MHz.

This future 7900 GTX would thus be awaited before the end of the first half of 2006: 750Mhz for the GPU and 2x950Mhz, is 1900Mhz for the read-write memory...



Lastly, a new chip, G80, would be in preparation, and very near to the final phase: it will be present at the time of Computex 2006. Compatibility PixelShader 4 anoncée, like DirectX 10!



1900mhz + mem speed WoW!!!
