First Reviews: NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT GPU

Posted by timothy on from the when-embargos-expire dept.

Spinnerbait writes "This morning NVIDIA let fly with a cut-back version of their GeForce 7800GTX flagship card, dubbed the GeForce 7800GT. HotHardware has a full review and showcase posted of this new more reasonably price GeForce 7 series card. Overall it's performance was impressive but there is a tad bit of confusion in the channel about clock speeds on these new boards, so keep you eye on retail board specifications." The embargo's off: here's TheTechLounge's review, and GDHardware's, too -- I'm sure you'll find links to others in the comments below.

    Nvidia has released a faster card. It's better than anything out right now.

    Stay tuned next week. ATI will do the same.

    Rinse, spin, and repeat.

      Yeah, but will it run Linux?

    Sometimes I wish I were my own sibling. My sister keeps getting dibs on my "old" hardware when stuff like this happens and forces the geek in me to go on an upgrade spree.

    She will shortly have an Ath64 3500+ and a 6800GT.

    Must be nice. :p

      When I can afford a monitor with a 1680x1050 native resolution, I'll buy myself the expensive vid card to go with it ;)

    I have one of these in my as right now...it's not that good.

          I'm so scared to ask... Please tell me you either misspelled something or that's an acronym which is unfamiliar to me.

    There's no such thing as a "good deal" on bleeding-edge hardware. There's only "expensive" and "ream me with a stick."

    Hey, maybe some people like getting reamed with a stick.
