According to the article it has the same power consumption as the Ultra, which means you will need the 9880 upgrade.

knew it would support it, it heas the same power/temp stats.........well almost the same. Good luck to all that get it!! post benchies!!

what will this cost you guys like 500+???
do you return the vidcard you have for a partial refund?

Well as that card is under NDA still... I don't think your gonna get much more info then what you see.

Actually it looks like it has the same power consumption as a normal 6800 go.

Can you point me to a FAQ/message with the information for upgrading a stock 9860 to be a 9880 with this new video card? Thanks!

Shows the same power consumption as the Ultra

i thought the last batch had the mb revision.

Look at slide 10, it says same power consumtion, twice the performance, obviously comparing a normal 6800 go. The slides arent consistan when it comes to talking about 6800 or 6800 ultra

how much??$$$

anyone know if the 7800 will support DirectX 10? Or will a future ATI/NVIDIA card only do DX 10?

DX10 (or the former WGF 2.0) has a requirement of a unified shader architecture. That will not show up until R600 (ATi) and G80 (nVidia).

Back on topic, just to keep everyone grounded a bit, don't forget that the current 12-pipe 6800Go Ultra can score ~5,700 in 3DMark05, so a 16-pipe 7800Go scoring ~6,600 isn't that much of a jump. It's a large evolutionary step, and not a revolutionary leap.

BTW, I can't see much of a difference between the 7800Go GTX (16/6) and the desktop 7800 Standard (16/6). The die-process is the same, the pixel pipe-count is the same, the vertex-shader count is the same, and only a 25Mhz core and 50 Mhz memory difference. It's funny how a platform difference will make one chip a GTX and another a Standard....

Are you sure?
According to nvidia the 7800 is "Microsoft vista" compatible or formally named "longhorn" and the only card compatible

Last I checked, Vista & DX10 were separate from one another (although tightly linked). Vista requires a DX9.0 minimum video card with 64MB RAM, while DX10 is a driver specification that the pixel and vertex shaders be unified.

I don't know where you got that the 7800 is the only Vista compatible chip out there. Vista only requires a DX-9 chip.

If you see the slide, you can see that the geometry power is increased by 60% ...

Or this is my mind :

6800 Go : 12*330 --> 3960Gpx/s
6800 Ultra : 12*450 --> 5400Gpx/s

7800 : 16*400 --> 6400Gpx/s
7800 : 24*400 --> 9600Gpx/s

Now little mathematics :

6800Go Vs 7800 (16*400) --> 6400 / 3960 --> 1.61
6800Go Ultra Vs 7800 (16*400) --> 6400 / 5400 --> 1.18
6800Go Vs 7800 (24*400) --> 9600/ 3960 --> 2.42
6800Go Ultra Vs 7800 (24*400) --> 9600 / 5400 --> 1.77

I think that the slide is about the 6800Go v2 and not the Ultra. But with 400Mhz, it might be have the same TDP than the Ultra ... Or maybe the same that the ATI (it would be better, because i will able to put a 7800 in my 9860 )
