Nvidia wants to time its launch with the big trade show that starts next Tuesday in old Taipei and as always to polish up the drivers as well.
ATI will have a big problem with this one as the suggested retail price is a rather reasonable $599 for the dual G71 card. We are certain that this card will outperform the currently top Geforce 7900 GTX and Radeon X1900 XTX cards. Two chips will do things faster then a single one.
We also beleive that Nvidia plans a massive price drop for its current top end 7900 GTX cards to make some space for the new Geforce 7950 GX2 cards.
Those cards are much shorter and will fit in most computer cases and, even better, they will work in every single SLI compatible board. Expect to see a lot about them by next Monday or Tuesday. µ
