I'm happy to see that this monster is not the 300W power hungry demon that was rumored.

nVIDIA still ask for a 400W PSU :blink:

I can't wait until Q2 2007 (When I will get the money *sight*) to buy this beast :p

Well, you have to keep in kind that if the card sucks in 300W, then you will need at least an extra 100W to power the rest of your components. Keep in mind that your GPU is not the only thing sucking up the juice :p

Why the unusual amounts of Memory? 768mb. 640mb?

Because of the Bus width.... you have 384 bits and 320 bits respectively... and the memory chips available have a 32 bit interface each so you need 12 and 10 chips respectively, that means 12x64 = 768 and 10x64 = 640

You're half right:

7800GT - 20 pipes

7800GTX - 24 pipes

7900GT - 24 pipes

7900GTX - 24 pipes

Anyway, those are some crazy specs. It's a shame it's not using GDDR4 though.

I was reading on wikipedia a bit but I got confused, what's the difference between pixel pipelines and vertex pipelines... and also what's the difference between pipes and pipelines?

6800Ultra - 16 pixel pipelines

7300LE - 4 pixel pipelines

7300GT - 8 pixel pipelines

7600GS - 12 pixel pipelines

7600GT - 12 pixel pipelines

7800GS - 16 pixel pipelines

7800GT - 20 pixel pipelines

7800GT - 20 pixel pipelines

7800GTX - 24 pixel pipelines

7900GS - 20 pixel pipelines

7900GT - 24 pixel pipelines

7900GTX - 24 pixel pipelines

7900GX2 - ?

7950GX2 - ?

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By RaidenX · Posted

      My wish list is: A trailer for Final Fantasy VII part 3 and a proper look at Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Not happening, but I'd kill for would be another game of any genre in the Frostpunk world and another game in the Detroit: Become Human world.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By robertwnielsen · Posted

      I tried Wino-Mail and had the same issue with it that I have with New Outlook: My two centurylink.net email accounts (one of which is my primary email account) refuse to work with either one, and sometimes refuse to even log in, even though ALL the relevant information is accurate. Thunderbird does not have this problem, so I'll stick with what works, thank you.

      For me it has everything feature wise that I want. But boy the app sucks big time. This and Teams. Ever since they made the transition to WebView it has been slow AF. I mostly use both apps in the browser now because of too much memory being used by these 2 apps. Hoping that native versions are being worked upon.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11 by Taras Buria The May 2026 Steam Hardware & Software Survey results are now available on the official Steam website, showing Windows 11's continuous growth among the gaming audience. As of early June 2026, nearly 70% of all participants reported having a Windows 11-powered PC, while Windows 10's market share is steadily declining. According to Valve, in May 2026, Windows 11 increased its market share to 69.76% (+2.02 points), while Windows 10 dropped to 23.99% (-1.64 points). 64-bit Windows 7 is still showing up in Valve's reports, and apparently, about 0.07% of all survey participants still use the 17-year-old operating system. Valve no longer updates its client for Windows 7, but it still can access the platform, so the Windows 7 holdouts can stay away from newer Windows versions. Overall, 93.85% of all users run Windows (+0.38 points), while Linux is second with 3.99% (-0.53 points). macOS is third with at 2.16% (+0.15 points). The most popular Linux flavor is Arch Linux (0.35%), while macOS 26.4.1 is currently the dominant macOS release. On the hardware side, the most popular picks include an Intel processor (53.94% against AMD's 46.06%) with six cores (28.02%, -0.6 points), 16 GB of memory (41.14%, -0.28 points), and an NVIDIA graphics card (72.42%, with AMD having 19.13% and Intel 8.05%). The most popular graphics card on Steam is the desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (3.85%, -0.14 points), while the laptop RTX 4060 is second with 3.77%, and the RTX 3050 is third with 3.10%. The average amount of VRAM is 8GB (25.89%), and the dominant display resolution is the classic 1920x1080 pixels (51.89%, -0.32 points). As usual, you can find more details from the latest survey on the official website. The results for April 2026 are available here.
