@ 2006/03/09Spring already? NVIDIA has its “spring refresh,” and they cleaned a few things up, repackaged what they already have, and have given us that new silicon kind of feeling. We love the smell of silicon in the morning.
It has now been eight months since NVIDIA announced and hard launched their next generation GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) technology codenamed G70, better known as the GeForce 7800 series. The GeForce 7800 GTX and GT have been very successful GPUs for NVIDIA. Many gamers around the world have purchased video cards based on these GPUs to simply have better gaming experiences. While these GPUs were successful, around four months ago NVIDIA decided to up the ante even more by introducing a mini-refresh of their high-end GPU, the 7800 GTX offering even more performance with more local framebuffer memory and higher clock speeds. While this card was “hard launched” its inventory quickly dropped into obscurity bringing with it stories that it was only launched by NVIDIA to help win the benchmarks that it puts so much value in. NVIDIA insists that sales simply outstripped supply. Either way, there have not been many of these cards around, and after so long, it has really left us feeling that it was not much more than a type of red herring.
