First up is the new GeForce 7900 GTX, 7900 GT and 7600 GT graphics cards. These parts will be hard launched today in prices ranging from $180 to $600 and are built on the new 90nm process technology. The 7900 GTX attempts to take over the performance crown while the two GT models just want to wipe the floor with anything in red in the same price segment.

There was some wild speculation from various news sites that the G71 would have as many as 48 pixel pipes to compete with the ATI R580 GPU that does have 48 of them, but that did not turn out to be true. NVIDIA said while they had the ability to add more pipes of any kind to their already segmented architecture, they felt they had found a very good balance with the G70 that provided outstanding performance as well as great performance per watt and performance per clock results too.

    I'd like to see a set of fat dual exhaust pipes sticking out the back of one of those bad boys!
