The GPU will have 20 pipelines instead of 24 pipelines. VR-Zone says the vertex shader will stay at 8 and ROP at 16. The closk speed is 400MHz and not 335 as well.

I wonder if the extra pipes will be able to be unlocked to make it the GTX.VR-Zone has learned that the upcoming GeForce 7800 GT will be 20 pipes instead of 24 pipes as intially reported. The vertex shader could probably stay at 8 and ROP at 16. The core clock for 7800GT is 400MHz instead of 335MHz initially thought. It will be interesting to see if the 4 hidden pipes can unlocked on the 7800 GT to become GTX. The 7800GT is slated for launch on 11th Aug at Quakecon 2005 and MRSP for this card is US$449. Also NVIDIA won't release their 7800 Standard yet until their 6800 inventory are cleared.
