Printing-ink veterans don't take cyberspace journalists too seriously - Roy Greenslade, Guardian Online
It announced the 7900 GTX and GT and confirmed all the facts that we wrote before. And it introduced 7600 GT the card that is supposed to replace the 6600 GT range. All the facts wer prsent and correct, but Nvidia didn't include any pricing in its presentations.
Nvidia officer explained that they are dropping the high end prices because their yields are good. Were so sure, but swallowed it.
All the cards should be available in retail or etail as we speak, as Nvidia likes to hard launch. All the chips are 90 nanometre and the yields should be good, at least that's what Nvidia claims.
We heard that 7900 GTX 512MB will come out faster than a rADEON X1900 XTX, but only in few of games at some settings, not at all of them. It will be a close call, we were told, but we hope to get some numbers by the end of the show.
We wrote about Nvidia SLI notebook ages ago, but Nvidia just officially confirmed that they exist and we found out that the British company Rock actually ships one with a saucy price that starts at £1999 pounds.
Nvidia did mention some new Notebook chipsets based on Nforce 4 and they should start shipping rather soon.
The cards are out at loose so we will do our best to confirm or deny Nvidia's claims µ.
