GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB?

[Diagrafeas]

Does anyone know when GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB cards will start shipping?

 

[Cheesetogo]

obviously not...

(unless their under nda)

 

[Emultra]

When I get enough money to buy it.


EDIT: that means keep waiting.

 

[BadAcid]

Can they say when the NDA expires? I want to know when I'll get info on the 7800 vanilla!!!!

 

[fstime]

I cant say because im under NDA, but remember this, the scores are always wrong.

 

[Mrvile]

Rollo will have one before you do. Probably like 1000 bucks I'm betting.

I'll bet he gets 2 to run SLI...

$2000 later F.E.A.R. will still run the same :laugh:

If the manufacturers choose to we will have a 512 MB version but the prices ofcourse will be a problem.

 

[MobiusPizza]

GeForce 6 Ultra 512MB sells for $1000
GeForce 7800GTX 512MB... I am guessing $1500
Gosh I can buy a brand new com with that sum of money

lol...i dont think theyll release a 512mb as its useless releasing one at such insane prices. they might have taken a cue from the 6800U but i could be wrong ofcourse.

 

[Xentropy]

Yeah, I suspect the 512M 6800U sold through just about zero, as there aren't really games yet that'll use it, and by the time there are, the 512M cards will be cheaper.

Maybe the rumored 7800U will include 512M, or have a 512M version. I suspect if they do anything like that, though, they'll make sure it doesn't MSRP over $1000. $1000 is insane enough.

 

[PerfeK]

Current 512mb cards are gimmicky and offer no real performance increases. I wouldn't expect to see a real performer until HD resolutions are standard and a GPU 1.5 times faster than the 7800 GTX emerges, at least.

 

[fliguy84]

i think 7800gtx will always be a 256mb part, 512mb will be reserved for a 32-piped 7800

Yet we knew 7800GTX scores weeks prior to its release. And ronin kept telling everyone they were wrong.....

 

[apoppin]

No . . . BUT you can get a

512MB Nvidia 6800 Ultra $460 Shipped

it's good to see the launch of the 7800 is dropping the former high end . . . .

IS the 7800gtx available in 512MB ver already? :Q

'
$800 is what the 6800U with 512MB was last week! . . . down to $460 this week!!
:shocked:

 

[dguy6789]

No, 6800U 512MB cards were $650 on newegg like two weeks before the 7800GTX came out.

 

[abysmal]

Mechanically, just what does the extra 256MB of RAM get you???

 

[RussianSensation]

I think it's time to retire my Radeon 8500 64mb. I am gonna get 8x the performance from 6200 512mb for only $109!!!!

I'll report back on 3dmark05 score.

It lets you do two things. You can run with higher resolutions with more AA than before.(Assuming the video card hasn't already reached the limit of it's ramdac, as well as most moniters) You will also be able to play games better that may take advantage of the extra memory, which would likely be used for high res textures.

Chances of 512MB of memory being useful on cards of this caliber: 0.

It's funny cause it's true.

And secretly, we are all jealous that Rollo has that kinda cash to wallow in...
