GeForce 7800 GTX, a PS3 Preview?

Derek is putting his GeForce 7800 GTX (G70) article in the engine right now, it should be available shortly. One thing to keep in mind here is that this GPU is based on the same parent architecture as the PlayStation 3's RSX GPU (now it should make sense why waiting until after today to publish the Xbox/PS3 piece made sense). I say same parent architecture because there are some differences between the two GPUs, and some of those differences aren't as obvious. I've got a whole section on this discussion in tomorrow's article, but I just wanted to give you another angle to consider when thinking about the G70 as you read through our review.

It should also serve as a wake up call to those who see consoles being infinitely more powerful than PCs today. NVIDIA said that by the time the PS3 launched, we'd have faster GPUs on the PC...I'm not sure if they were considering G70 SLI when they made that statement :)

Take care.
