WE learned that upcoming G71, Geforce 7900 GTX comes with an additional 512 in its name. A friend told us that you will be able to place your orders quite soon.
Nvidia is planning its editor day by the end of this month and it is all ready for its early March introduction. It promised the systems to its partners and some samples will be delivered as soon as next week.
We know that 7900 GTX 512 is set to have a MSRP of $599 we don’t know why Nvidia priced this product cheaper, it makes us happy for the consumers but it also makes us wonder about the performance. The last flagship card was MSRP at $649. 99 resulting with at least 699.99 retail price at most of the etailers.
The minimum suggested retail price for Nvidia's upcoming 7600 card is $249.99 and this card is supposed to take over from 6800GS and to continue the tradition. ATI will fight this one with its X1800GTO priced at the same price point.
There are no limitations on the number of orders that you will be able to place so this might mean that Nvidia got the yields right. The only question that we need to answer is, are the cards clocked to 650 MHz only and have 24 pipes? As far as we know that is the truth but we will still keep looking. µ
