The Inquirer reports that the 7900GTX will debut March 9th a MSRP of $599 and a clock speed of 650mhz. The number of pixel pipelines however is up in the air.
according to our sources, the G71 will be nothing more than a 90 nanometre G70 die shrink. It won’t have more than 24 pipelines but you never know what Nvidia has exactly up its sleeves.
…….
If Nvidia did put 32 pipes in G71 chip this would make its chip as a much better competitor and will make ATI run hard for its crown. We think that Nvidia could win most of the benchmarks with 32 pipes.
