I like this quote :

"Whatever the price, this is not going to be an inexpensive board," Peddie said, noting that traditionally, Nvidia customers are 17- to 35-year-old males with disposable income. "I don't think people realize how delighted these guys are whenever a new graphics chip comes out...the first thing that they do is try to get the PC to go faster and the second thing they do is make the graphics look better."


Does that describe most of us ?

The 7800s seem brilliant, but I wouldn't buy one for a long time yet, 'cos of the price, and the allegedly massive power-drain

I wonder if there'll be an agp version at all
Some say the 6000 series was as good as it gets for agp.

The 6600's are PCI-express chips with a converter to allow them to run on AGP. I see no reason why they can't do the same with the 7000 series, except that the AGP bus may not be regarded as fast enough.

except that the AGP bus may not be regarded as fast enough.

That would be the reason that was referred to as making it pointless, but on the other hand, like I've said elsewhere, the agp version of the 6600GT, clocked at the exact same speeds as the pci-e version, performs better, so clearly the bus-speeds are enough for that series of cards. The question is how much more demanding the 7000 series will turn out to be, in reality.

I'm more of a ati fan

i have a radoen 700 that was $350 Australian Dollars which would be about $200 US

it really depends on the games wether to go with Nivida or ATI

An e-friend told me that I could blag a game into thinking that my card was compatible by using this piece of software http://www.3dcenter.de/downloads/3d-analyze.php I can't work out out to use it as the site is in German Have I been misinformed or is this app worth investigating further?
