Can't wait to see if it'll be unlockable.
It's going to be using the same G70 core as the GT and GTX, so I'm setting my hopes high. :mrgreen:

Now if these are going to be priced at $200 or even $250... :drool:

Argh!!!!!

Direct from nVidia's Brian Burke:

I want to clear up a bit of confusion about the GeForce 7800 GS PCI Express articles that have surfaced recently.

Without getting into the nitty gritty details, NVIDIA provides boards to our developers for their in house game development. These boards are meant for the sole purpose of inhouse engineering and QA. In the case of the recent GeForce 7800 GS PCI Express reviews that you may have seen, some of these developer boards were mistakenly given out to end users at an event the developers sponsored. These boards were never meant to ship in the open market.

NVIDIA has NO plans to release a commercially available GeForce 7800 GS PCI Express board. For any end users that many have received this board as a prize, NVIDIA will be happy to swap this out for a GeForce 7800 GT PCI Express board, or a GeForce 6800 GS PCI Express board, as these two boards are commercially available.

For anyone who gets their hands on one, they could become quite the collector's item. :mrgreen:

Well... perhaps this might be hinting at possibly an AGP version? :mrgreen:
