am2. but yea i think im gonna have to go with my first really high performance intel comp... conroe seems pretty sweet.

yea and vista. crap. dx10. one shader language. gfx cards are gonna have to be changed sicnificantly to work really effectivly, and also support dx9 shader language to support everyones current favs. the G80 and R600 are gonna have a fun time supporting two languages :D.

Hey, you gotta switch to something new eventually. Backwards-compatibillity comes at a performance price. Eventually, a totally new system must be used to get any faster. I think Microsoft has done a pretty good job keeping it backward-compatible for so long.

In fact, come to think of it, everyone's kept it the same for a while now. This will be the year of new architecture for PCs. New processor architecture, new Windows, new grahpics platform, the list goes on.

Oh, and I forgot, there's also physics processing coming this year. Man, this is going to be a great year for computer hardware.

Question is, why would they hype a mid-range GPU? :confused:

Because the high end is lucrative and usually sets the hype to sell the mid range chips where they make their money. The whole performance crown crap has more to do with setting a mindset in consumers then it does about selling high performance chips, you give the customer the illusion that nvidia makes the best chips, then they buy the model they can afford based on brand and assumptions.

They get everyone talking about 7900GTXs which your average joe will never buy, then you toss joe a bone with something he can afford/will use.
 
The source says its for the 7600GS...

But ya never know! They might be throwing a curveball at us. They might know we are doing this...

Like I said, that would be the worst marketing trick in computing history. I hope it's true though! :p

in the words of Jack Bauer, "Tell us what Nvidia is up to. Now!!!!" my guess is an AGP version of of the 7900s or a PCI-E version of the 7800GS.

Wow, how can you say that? Read through the first six pages and you will know what it is. :rolleyes:

I guess when you read that post you simply clicked the "quote" button without noticing this topic had seven pages, right?

It's the 7600GS.
 
Ok, so is today like the 4th day or what? The title of the page said "in four days". So has nvidia debuted their new product yet or what? :confused:

Yes, and it's a...what a surprise...7600GS. No additional specs to be found by the way.

Available Models: GeForce 7600 GT and GeForce 7600 GS

So Dell released their XPS 600 with quad SLI and GUESS WHAT!

NVIDIA new physics card - So , does anyone have $10k US to buy a Dell XPS 600 with quad SLI and a p4 EE edition @ 4.26Ghz and a physics card to test out?

Wonder if dell will send one to [H]

i doubt it.. or else this wouldn't already be on the main page:

edit: though it looks like i should read the thread first :p

So the ultimate power question has to be:

Can a Quad SLI system run 4 of these bad boys allowing 8 GPU's?

What is the limit? Will we see 32,000 '06 Score?

Ahhh I'm so happy I'm waiting for one more year before reinvesting in technology! (Faster processors, faster memory, faster GPU's) Its going to be sweet! Sweet and expensive!

It is the 7600 GS (sits right under the 7600 GT) think of it like the 6600 to the 6600 GT.

And the 7300 LE is also announced today.

8-card SLI, that's going too far. I honestly hope NVIDIA does not even try to support that. If they did, it would be a joke. (BTW, I think I read somewhere the actual limit to the technology is 32 cards, and it's been done before by ATI for the millitary)

Now, perhaps a slightly more practical use for 8 GPUs would be a multiple monitor setup, say, 4 monitors, each with two GPUs in SLI.

Oh, and what's ironic about this is, even though the announcment technically was 7600GS, a lot of other people's guesses were also correct! We got quad-SLI from Dell, PhysX, and didn't someone guess a 7300?
