Look better, look at the green banner in the middle of the page. 03 days, 01
hours, 51 minutes.

It is probably the other two 7800s joining the product line. There is
supposedly a 7800 GT and an Ultra coming. A few articles around the net
suggest nVidia has decided to take a slightly different approach with
product releases and they are a little more confident these days that they
can release ahead of the competition on cycles as soon as three to four
months if need be.

It has been mentioned that they are getting better than expected yeilds from
chip foundry over the last few months and also that they overcame an
engineering hurdle (unspecified, but it is likely tied both to pipes and
their ability to increse the amount of data thruput for the shaders). So,
it seems likely that we might not only see a full 7800 line available this
month, but we could also see their hi-def boards (the stuff) and some
combination products (they may be thinking of a hi-def appliance like a home
media server or a combination product much like the ATI All-in-Wonder) and
maybe even a whole new line of enthusiast cards for a Christmas release.

It's called the 'Orb', involves witchcraft, and is a spinoff of "Byffy the
Vampire Slayer'.

This makes senese...although I thought they were going to have a 7800GTX
(equiv to 'Ultra'), 7800GT (equiv to 'GT') and 7800 (equiv to 'vanilla')?

Anywho....well I've recently been hunting around for a 6800GT PCI-E
256MB...HA! It's been very...trying. Anywho one of the people I spoke to
stuttered somthing about 'waiting for a few more weeks because the price
will go down'
....'the price on what?', I asked
....'the other cards because the 7800 is out so we've been told the old cards
won't be as popular....'
my reply: 'well, no, that's ridiculous, a 7800GTX is (AU)$400 more expensive
than a 6800GT'
And his reply: 'yeah they'll be coming down'.

He had an English language barrier, though, so it was kind of difficult to
understand what exactly he meant. But mayhaps they've received word to the
effect that the new range will be out soon? The ads on the website (nVidia's
website) also indicate it will be the new range. Here's hoping they'll be in
stores nice and quick like the GTX!!

It's when the 7800GT comes out and when the 6800 series sees a price cut,
according to the HardOCP news page.

Interesting, does this mean that the 6600GT will go down in price? If so, I
think it's time I built a new game rig ;-)

The 6600GT is already pretty cheap. Far more desirable now are the 6800
vanilla cards.

Is it US only, the price reduction? Or Worldwide?

Or spend a little bit more and buy a 6800GT, and get near-Ultra quality for
a non-Ultra price! And they'll be dropping off in price sharply soon enough.
