| last night, nvidia threw a party for the release of their new geforce 7800 in san francisco. if you have close to a 1000 eur to spare, here is a suggestion on what to put them in:

with impressive comments like:
"the 7800 series, [...] is nearly anywhere two to three times as powerful at processing graphics as the current geforce 6 series, even with high quality filtering, pixel edge detection (using multi-passes) and hatching shaders."
or
"... based on tests run using the unreal engine 3's engine citystreet2 demo, a single geforce 7800 gtx is faster than two 6800 ultras running in sli, by almost 30%."
the new nvidia card looks like bad news for ati.
isn't john carmack working on a new renderer? isn't he famous for having a close relationship with nvidia's engineers? watch this space ...
