NVIDIA has launched the GeForce 7800 GTX (G70). The GeForce 7800 GTX is made on a 110nm process and uses 303 million transistors. The graphics core runs at 430MHz and has 24 pixel pipelines and 8 vertex shaders. The card's architecture is based on the previous generations but does feature some new things such as an improved shader engine which NVIDIA called CineFX 4.0. Transparent Dynamic Ultra Sampling (TSAA) is another new feature, to improve AA quality. AnandTech has some screenshots of TSAA in action and they show a very clear difference in image quality - it's way better.
After taking a look at some of the reviews I noticed that the GeForce 7800 GTX perform better than a GeForce 6800GT SLI system in most benchmarks. Mostly the difference accounts for about 10 percent but in UT 2004 Icetomb (1600x1200: 0x AA/0x AF) the ATI X850XT scored 42 percent less than the new 7800GTX!
