Welp, Nvidia dropped this card today and the verdict is: Hahaha.

Okay, lets be serious for a second on what this card brings and what it doesnt bring.

The new 7900GTX is basically a 7800GTX 512MB but with a 100Mhz core increase and a 100Mhz memory DECREASE. This means they loss the all important memory bandwidth, but raises fill rate a lot. But most games these days lean towards bandwidth limitation. So what we end up seeing is a decent improvment over the old 7800GTX but no gain at all on ATi's X1900XT/XTX cards.

The 7900GTX/GT use less transistors than the 7800GTX, so they run cooler.

So if you're looking for a new card I really wouldnt consider the 7900GTX, its not as fast as the ATi X1900XTX/XT in most games, and will loose its gain as games get even more shader based, and it still has bad image quality compared to ATi.

Not much to point out as far as reviews go, I havent found a good one yet, waiting on the Beyond3D review.
