7900 GTX specs confirmed!

Finally, the specs for G71's 7900 GTX is here:

- Core Clock = 650 MHz
- Memory Clock = 800 (1.6 G)
- Memory Bandwidth = 51.2 GB/s
- Memory Size = 512 MB/1024 MB
- Pixel Pipelines = 24

Definitely a beefed up 7800 GTX, and a not-so beefed up 7800 GTX 512. My point is that this couldn't be more than just another relaunch of 7800 GTX 512 with reduced core size. Well, that makes sense since that helps increase the yield per wafer, directly increasing the availability of the card, where 7800 GTX 512 is lack of. Reduced core size also said to help Nvidia reach the core clock they hope for this card.

Performance wise, I don't know if this card can beat X1900XTX from ATi or score even. Even that is so, I reckon that Nvidia is planning to beat ATi in terms of the availability, thus gaining the share in the high end video card market. Purely an opinion of mine.
