NVIDIA'S UPCOMING Geforce 7800 GTX 512 MB version is going to be one heck of a card.
This card really looks great and we managed to confirm the data that we wrote about it yesterday. You can find that here.
We still don’t know the price of this card but it really puts ATI's Radeon X1800XT in a very hard position. This card is competing well versus old Geforce 7800GTX with 256MB of memory clocked at 430MHz core and 1200MHz but I don’t think that R520, Radeon X1800XT has much chance against 550MHz core and 1800MHz memory. Nvidia got it right this time and just nailed ATI.
Nvidia misdirected us trying to sell the story to its partners that there won't be any G70 Ultra but what the company did is just renamed this project to Geforce 7800 GTX 512MB and decided to stick with the same name. Nvidia already did this when renaming NV47 to G70, and in the end we learned that we are talking about the same chip all the time. So Geforce 7800 GTX 512 MB is what we used to call the 7800 Ultra and it has every sign to be very fast. It was a sneaky move from Nvidia but never mind, as long as it takes Nvidia back to the performance crown. This time we are not talking about a frame here and there, we are expecting a massive performance lead.
But will it upset current 7800 GTX 256 MB owners? It sure will but this was the only way that it could play it I guess. It will be fun to play with this card once it's out and we expect it will be the fastest card. A new king is coming.

Hvað finnst ykkur um þetta ? Sýnist Nvidia vera að rústa vel núna
Þetta kort verður sweeet...Já og þetta er minn fyrsti póstur, so hi everybody
Geforce 7800 GTX 512 MB pictured
XFX works at 580/1730MHz

OUR COLLEAGUES at MVKtech.net forums managed to get the picture of Nvidia's upcoming Geforce 7800 GTX 512 MB card. But Nvidia made the site take it off. However, you can find the original thread and the picture here (líka búið að taka þetta niður, sorry)
The card has a monstrous cooler and we believe we have seen this card before, someone leaked it before but Nvidia has categorically denied it and said that this is a Quadro cardbut we now know it is not.
The same chaps managed to grab a BIOS from an XFX Geforce 7800 GTX 512MB and the chaps learned that XFX card obviously clocked even higher than the specs, it's working at 580MHz core and 1730MHz memory in 3D, the throttle frequency is 500MHz core and 1730MHz memory while in 2D card, you switch to a 275MHz core and 1730MHz memory.
Since you can already download that BIOS here (líka búið að taka þetta niður, sorry) this means that XFX cards are almost available and that the company is just waiting for Nvidia's whistle to start selling them in retail. A week or two from now anyway.
.. þætti gaman að sjá bench fyrir þetta kort
