G71 Speculation Thread

as mentioned in another thread, here it is

just post how good or bad you think this will be and how you think it will perform.

il start with me..

i believe it will out perform the X1900 as i remember reading that the X1900 was bought out as a rival for the 7800GTX 512MB so logically nVIDIA wont be releasing it as a rival to a rival of a last gen card.. but this is my opinion which im allowed

what do you guys think?

ATi = 48 Shader pipes
nVIDIA = 32 pipes..

and nvidia is using a 90 nanometere core.. as oposed to 120 or 110nm in the 7800 series so this will save money.. and i think the x1900 was meant as a competitor for the 7800GTX 512MB rather than the 7900.. because ive read that and many people have told me

the 7900 will be better than the x1900.. imho
