Nvidia 7800GTX Released!

As expected, the NVIDIA 7800GTX cards were released today, and there are reviews up everywhere. If you’ve been living under a rock, the 7800GTX is NVIDIA’s next gen card. Or now, current gen! Equipped with 24 Pixel Pipelines, and running with a 430MHz Core and 1.2GHz Mem, it’s one ultra-powerful card.

The card supports a slew of new features, including the anticipated HDR, which makes lighting much more realistic. This is currently also available on current gen 6×00 cards, but these cards are much more capable of handling it. The cards are not far different than the current gen, but are much more powerful. You can find out a lot more general info about the GPU on the NVIDIA site.

As mentioned, there are many reviews of this card out today. You can find large reviews at Guru3D, Tech Report, Hexus, Hard|OCP, T-Break, nV News, PC Perspective, Beyond 3D and nForcers HQ.

If you are already looking to buy one, you can check out NewEgg, Tiger Direct and ZipZoomFly. For Canucks, you can get yourself an eVGA at NCIX, or an XFX or BFG at Tiger Direct.

Now we wait for the ATI Crossfire and 7800 Ultra!
