NVidia 7900 GTX

ItlanChode · 02-25-2006, 06:49 AM

Will ship at $499, while the 7800 GTX is $439 atm.. should I remove the 7800 from my shopping cart and wait for the 7900 to come out?

I would just get a X1900XT now. Waiting for graphic cards is pointless.

7900gtx is coming on march, just wait one week

Yep. Wait just a little bit and you´ll get 32 pipelines =)
X1900XTX Is going down! Way down!

Hm.. wish they'd release the specs for 7900 GTX, need to know if it will work with my MB! Ahh!!

I'm waiting a year to get a new video card. My 7800GT SHOULD be enough to get through the next wave of games - and I SHOULD be able to play at max def. for at least a few more months without any slow-down.

Although it runs slower at 650/1450, doesnt the x1900 have 48 pipelines? If the x1900 has more pipelines, but the 7900gt runs faster, which one is actually better?

That's what everyone assumed, I guess someone got the wrong information and released it to the public

I'm pretty sure the X1900 only has 16 pp's
