- This is probably the replaced 7900GT, many 7900GT buyers have issues on glitching and memory issues. I think its still the same core as the GTX.

- Why are they bothering to release new gfx cards now? I'm sure people arnt stupid enough to buy these when DX10 hardware is due in a month or 3 (or maybe 4)....yea u may get a few months of enjoyment, but as soon as DX10 hardware is available u will be kicking urself.
Oh well, I guess some people have more money than sence.
Also, yea, I know some 7900GT's have problems as the guy above mentions, but when u eventually get a desent one (after a few RMA's) you can overclock it past them 7950GT speeds and with a bit of volt modding pass GTX speeds....so wtf?

- the first DirectX next generation cards are nortorius for being very bad at rending the new generation of DirectX, we dont really know if the DirectX 10 cards will improve on DirectX 9 performance.
Not to mention that NVIDIA and ATI will place a nice price premium on those first DirectX 10 cards to make up R&D costs

- Was the GeForce 3 really so bad at DirectX 8 rendering?

- Yeah! But than I prefer to wait and see If they suck. If so I'll get a top DX9 card! LoL
Like said before I don't want to kick myself if you're wrong and they don't suck at all. So I'll build a new system next year (Q3 2007) and I hope to put a DX10 card on it. Even if NVIDIA does a bad job with DX10 we also have ATi (AMD/ATi) and between both I don't believe that both will suck that much. I just have my 6600GT and for now it does its job quite well.

- 7600GT until DX10 = Well Devoloped and used.
SLI if needed.
Rinse and repeat for consumers world-wide.
79050 GT my ass. Pointless spending of $299.
Just another card for people who don't think ahead to chuck money out onto.
According to slides, which are presumably from Nvidia Corp., the company plans to released its GeForce 7950 GT product, which features 24 pixel processors, 8 vertex processors and 512MB of memory. The graphics card will come clocked at 550MHz for the chip and 1400MHz for the memory, as compared to GeForce 7900 GTX’s 650MHz/1600MHz clock-speeds and GeForce 7900 GT’s 450MHz/1320MHz.
