7800GT Coming soon?

NVIDIA is preparing their GeForce 7800 GT for launch within this week and similarly retail stores worldwide will carry the stock as soon as it is launched. GeForce 7800 GT possess 24 pipes and 8 vertex shaders just like the 7800GTX except that the core and memory clock speeds are lowered. The reference 7800GT card is supposingly clocked at 335MHz core and has 1.1GHz memory clock using 2.0ns GDDR3 memories. No doubt, some card manufacturers will be fitting 1.6ns memories on this card to make their 7800GT cards more attractive. The best thing is that this card will be priced at US$499 which is $100 lower than the current 7800GTX card.

Whether or not this is entirely true or not, we will only find out. $499US isn’t exactly that cheap though. Considering that the average 6800GT was around $400US a couple months ago.. they just slapped another $100 on the price. Good thing is though.. that the 6×00 series should definitely be going down in price. Source: VR-Zone.
