Nvidia 7800 Go GTX is out - Page 2

7800 Go doesn't exist..this post is b.s. and what the hell did they do to the forums? This new color scheme blows.

Joker check out the dark scheme

What?
This color scheme is allready a week and a half old and yes it blows

The Dark one isn't terrible but its still got too much light grey action going on ...

color scheme does blow!

oh shit, go toe user cp, then to options and there you can choose between yellow, light and dark.....something like that, i got the original back

I have a friend in the developement and reasearch Dept at Dell and beleive me when i tell you there is no 7800go at this time period.

That's what you get for making this retarded post... thread derailment for the win!!

Well if anyone remmebers in the not so distand past the 6800 ultra was a Dell exclusive and they released it pretty much before anyone else heard or had one.

dont do crack at work

LOL - am I the only one who sees the irony in the above comment?

Seriously dude - settle down. It's the comments of the Dell rep who you spoke to that we don't believe, ESPECIALLY since nvidia have made no announcements about a 7800go - don't take it so personally.

Sure, you're just letting us know what you were told - but really, do you believe absolutely everything you are told? Do some research of your own, and then if you can find some facts to back up his statement, maybe make a post about it.

But in the meantime, no need to take it to heart.

Yeah I would like to know if its for real, just think of the power that baby would give ya *drool*

What a bunch of knee-jerkers in here... are you all hiding your brains up your proverbials? Ever heard of Google?

The story is nearly 6 weeks old.

Value: G74M-Chip (Geforce 7200go) with 8 pipelines
Mainstream: G73M-Chip (Geforce 7600go) with 12 pipelines
High-end: G71M-Chip (Geforce 7800go) with 16 pipelines

SLI is possible with these notebook cards, but whether or not someone implements it is another story. And of course these will eventually be available.. and it is no surprise if they are beginning to appear in the databases of PC makers like Dell. We won't be able to buy one for a while yet, but in computer time that only means months.



The original article is in German:

14.06.2005 "Der G7xM und SLI im Notebook"

Nach der Ankündigung der GeForce 7 durch Nvidia, kommt nun auch die GeForce Go. Die GeForce Go – Grafikkarten werden in drei Preisklassen eingeteilt - „Value“ (GeForce Go 7200 – Serie), „Mainstream“ (GeForce Go 7600 – Serie) und „High-End“ (GeForce Go 7800 – Serie). Alle drei Serien laufen über PCIe. Die GeForce Go 7200 – Serie basiert auf den G74M-Chip und verfügt über 8 Pixelpipelines, die GeForce Go 7600 – Serie auf den G73M-Chip und verfügt über 12 Pixelpipelines und die GeForce Go 7800 – Serie basiert auf den G71M-Chip und greift auf 16 Pixelpipelines zurück.
Ob die Grafikarten nun unter diesem Namen herauskommen werden, steht noch nicht fest. Wahrscheinlich ist aber, dass die High-End – Serie eine Grafikkarte mit dem Kürzel GTX oder Ultra enthalten wird.

Bei der Produktion will Nvidia wieder auf den Formfaktor MXM zurückgreifen. MXM-III kommt bei der GeForce Go 7800 – Serie zum Einsatz. Bei der Go 7600 – Serie wird MXM-II und bei der Go 7200 – Serie wird der MXM-I – Standart eingesetzt werden.

Bei der neuen Grafikkartengeneration soll nun auch SLI möglich sein, d.h. 2 Grafikkarten werden in einen Notebook eingebaut und deren Leistung wird gebündelt. SLI wird bei der GeForce Go 7800 – und 7600 – Serie möglich. Die GeForce Go 7200 ist nicht SLI-Fähig.

Eine weitere Neuerung ist, dass jetzt alle mobilen Grafikkarten von Nvidia über die TurboCache – Technik verfügen, d.h. ist der interne Speicher voll, greifen die Grafikkarten auf den normalen Speicher des Notebooks zurück.

Dank des MXM-Standartes müssen die Notebookhersteller aber nicht komplett neue Serien entwerfen, sie können die aktuellen, die den MXM – Standart innehaben weiter verwenden. Dies muss aber nicht unbedingt bedeuten, dass man in sein Notebook die aktuelle Grafikkarte austauschen kann.

hello ! fourtionatly im able to speak german since im from austria lol, ok here we go, the most important facts:

- there will be SLI for those cards, theoretically if companies adjust their products, nvidia can only do that up to a certain point
- no sli for the 7200, which will be the low end class, kinda comparable like 9000er, 5200er fx etc
- the cards are using different hardware standart (MXM standarts), which means that the notebook-builder at clevo, dell etc dont have to change everything
- they also state that upgradebility is questionable, ( probably not possible to change our gf 6800er ultra to a 7800 go)

sry for my broken english, any questions, please ask im sure i can answer them if they are connected to my translation

Here is another news in German.

It consist of the same information like the one posted before
+
Releasedate: ~End of 2005

Don't you think it's possible that dell has some samples to design their new notebooks? I guess it will take some more months and Nvidia will release the chip before Dell offers it but I consider it to be possible that Dell is already testing...

But what I'm wondering about is that Dell Reps tell those information on the phone.

Thank you for translating that

MXM wasn't a hit with anyone... I think Dell will continue to make their little AXIOM/MXM hybrid modules like the i9300/xps2 use. What I'm wondering is whether Dell plans on using the XPS 2 to launch the 7800 Go.
