So, today is the 8th....in a couple of hours (PST) it shall be 12 a.m. Are we to see a the release of the 7900...reviews and all..along w/ purchases?

My first place will be MWAVE...given I can do a will-call/pickup in person so I can have it tommorrow no problem. Hopefully that stay in stock and are listed at a good price.

What do you think? 12 a.m. is the time to be online waiting?

excited? I am. Its always exciting when you wait for faster, new technology to come out. Goodies for my computer!

Lets think big happy thoughts, hopefully some benchies will prove high-end supremacy, I would hope so, I cancelled my X1900 order a few days ago to wait for this, so I'm hoping it'll be worth my while. An international hard launch would be great for people waiting to push the button, Vista and DX10 are a long ways away, I'm sure a lot of people will splurge over the next few hours.

So who do you think will have the highest clocked GTX in a few hours? BFG? eVGA? XFX? Gainward? Will there be any alternative coolers? Will they come with free t-shirts? We'll soon find out. :)

man oh man I'm holding out for the free T-shirts!

haha..

I think EVGA will still be one of the more innovative companies to look forward to.

I'm grabbing my A-freakin'-SAP before there's any shortage or anything lol. Stay the heck off the Canadian websites lol. Knowing our luck, there will be ONE GTX in the entire country, and I intend to kill anyone in the way between me and the card. We were meant to be together. :):)

You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this lol. I had to get a friend to ebay my 7800 GTX KO, so right now I'm on a .... BUILT BY ATI RADEON X300 64MB PCIe..... ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ye (nana2)

Well, hopefully everyone gets the card they desire, if you have the money, you should be able to buy what you want at the MSRP.

Is it supposed to be 12 am Eastern time or Pacific? Damn I really shouldn't be spending money on another card but it is damn tempting. :o

We'll find out in a few minutes. Shut up and buy it, you know you want to, its going to eat you up inside, look at that glossy 2 slot heatsink, you want a piece of that, don't you, don't you? Now think about the maxed out graphics you'll have, you like that. Oh yeah.:D

:lol: DAMN YOU!
Ah sh!t I feel stupid now. I can't upgrade anyways unless they have an AGP slot one. Were any of the 7800s AGP? No PCIE on my board :(

There's a 7800GS, which is almost like a refined 6800 Ultra. At this point your best bet is to get a PCIe mobo, I don't think there will be any 7900s in AGP.

I suck :(
Well I certainly can't argue with the wife over a new board AND a new card. I don't wanna spend money on a newer card and barely be better than my 6800 Ultra. Maybe next round or later when the prices drop.

Jam a screwdriver through your AGP board, then you're "forced" to upgrade. :)

I've stopped all my homework, stopped watching TV, and started a series of refreshes on all my favourite stores. I'm grabbing that eVGA badboy VERY VERY VERY VERY SOON. If everyone gets a GTX on NVnews, we can find better methods to OC, share cooling solutions, find hacked BIOSes, brag to Rage3D... FASTER lol.

Ask Jakup. He might have an inside contact for you. I bet jakup is going to get quite a number of PM's.
