GeForce 7800GT Has 20 Pipes

Sidney · 13th July 2005, 13:29

VR-Zone has learned that the upcoming GeForce 7800 GT will be 20 pipes instead of 24 pipes as intially reported. The vertex shader could probably stay at 8 and ROP at 16. The core clock for 7800GT is 400MHz instead of 335MHz initially thought. The 7800GT is slated for launch on 11th Aug at Quakecon 2005 and MRSP for this card is US$449.

whaai a noo ?

IT seems that the card will have quit some power, for a lower price.

it's a big reduction of 30% (theoretically)

add lower memory to that nd it doesn't look that much better FPS per $ wise

it will look better then the GTX price/performance zise, to my opinion.

A top card is never a "smart" buy
