Thats some good new cant wait to see some numbers on this bad boy!!

I don't know. There is no date mentioned for any of this and I have to question it a little bit. The 6 series cards haven't hit EOL, so why the heck would the 7 series cards?! Honestly, I just can't see this happening, at least not in 2006. Those cards are too good and too popular for nVidia to end so soon.
I'm sure it will happen some time, but I can't see it happening when G71 is launched.

hm, this is more then surprising to me. I was actually planning on getting a 7800GT and if this means falling prices then I certainly will (we didn't get much price fall with the 6800GT), otherwise I wait for the 7900GT and OC the hell out of it

or maybe an ATI again :?:

i agree. However, i belive there are other motives for launching their latest technology. If you ask me. I think they wanna stab ps3 in the back.

The PS3 and Xbox360 are the least of nVidia's worries. It's the X1900 cards that they are trying to stab in the back!

Sweeet! Price drops :D

I guess that means i can look forward to 7800GT SLI configurations by the end of the summer!
