Yea, confusing title I know, but that seems to be the way things are going. The Inquirer is reporting that NVIDIA will take the performance crown with the 7800 GTX, and in SLI even dominate the CrossFire X850XT's. After this, they say ATI will release the R520 regaining their performance crown. I think most of us pretty much knew this, however here's where the twist comes in. NVIDA will release their 'reserved' 7800 Ultra, which will more than likely be an overclocked 7800 GTX that retakes their lead. Yields on a card like this should actually be decent, however it's upcoming combatant may not be as lucky. Last in this graphics card food chain is said to be a new card based on the R520 with speed improved enough to surpass even the 7800 Ultra. However, with these most likely insane speeds on a new 90nm process, yeilds should be less than great, making this card more of a figurehead than anything actually obtainable, atleast for the early part of the product cycle. Once again, like all things yet to be released, I'm sure we'll all know once the official announcements are made, and until then we can just gossip.
