The card is code named the G70, and will likely be released in three different models, 7800, 7800 GT, and 7800 GTX. According to Virtual Zone, the specifications for nVidia's next generation graphics card, the GeForce 7800 GTX (code named G70), have been leaked. Listed below are the specifications as shown on Virtual Zone. Absolute Insight cannot confirm the source or the accuracy of the specifications, but they may be legitimate. Perhaps nVidia will make some announcements now that the E3 2005 convention has come to a close and it can begin making the final push for the card's release. 0.11 micron process TSMC 430Mhz core / 1.2GHz 256MB GDDR3 memory 256-bit memory interface 38.4GB/s memory bandwidth 24 pixels per clock 10.32Bps Fill Rate 8 Vertex Pipes 860M vertices/second 400MHz RAMDACs NVIDIA CineFX 4.0 engine Intellisample 4.0 technology 64-bit FP texture filtering & blending NVIDIA SLI Ready (7800 GTX only) DX 9.0 / SM 3.0 & OpenGL 2.0 supported G70 comes with 3 models; GTX, GT and Standard Single Slot solution Single card requires min. 400W PSU with 12V rating of 26A SLI configuration requires min. 500W PSU with 12V rating of 34A Launch : 22nd of June Note that this monster will require a PSU with a minimum 400 Watt rating. Given the power hungry requirements of today's top GPUs, this should not come as much of a surprise.
