First Reviews: NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT GPU 162
Spinnerbait writes "This morning NVIDIA let fly with a cut-back version of their GeForce 7800GTX
flagship card, dubbed the GeForce 7800GT.
HotHardware has a full review and showcase posted of this new more reasonably
price GeForce 7 series card. Overall it's performance was impressive
but there is a tad bit of confusion in the channel about clock speeds on these
new boards, so keep you eye on retail board specifications." The embargo's off: here's TheTechLounge's review, and GDHardware's, too -- I'm sure you'll find links to others in the comments below.

I'm not upgrading my vid. card until a mid-range 512 mb model hits the market.

No, you're not. Much of PC gaming, with rare exceptions, has become a wanking contest between different 3D engine developers.

Wait, you mean you DON'T upgrade your $500 video card every 6 months? You mean you've never spent more than $200 on a video card in your entire life and don't really care to? You're obviously not a gamer, we don't have to cater to you, only to our early-adopter ricer customers who feel inferior if they don't have a $4000 Alienware.

Since when did $450 become a "mid-level" price?
