The NVIDIA GeForce 7900 Series

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the new-shinies-for-the-precious dept.

An anonymous reader writes "HardOCP has posted their evaluation of the new GeForce 7900 technology. They fully cover widescreen gaming this time around too. 'NVIDIA has worked hard to try and produce a more powerful, albeit power-efficient GPU in the 7900 GTX and GT, and they've succeeded. They run cooler; are smaller, have less transistors, and they don't make you stuff cotton in your ears. The 7900 GTX and GT are just more efficient while being lightning fast.'"

    Don't you mean "fewer transistors"? Transistors aren't an aggregate mass, like sugar, they are discrete components.

    Next thing you know, the 7900's design will be "extremely unique" and all other video cards "very dead."

    So there are an uncountable number of transistors in the chip?
