    It's official, the G70 is one rockin' card with 512MB's of DDR3 mem @ 1.4GHz, a core clock of 430Mhz and the ability to score 7800 on on 3Dmark 2k5 (compaired to a single 6800Ultra which yeilds 4400, so a single G70 should be able to take a SLI'ed Ultra duo). It's 110 nanometers, but will likely end up as 90 later this year or into next. You'll have a DirectX 9 capable card (duh), with SM 3.0 and Open GL 2.0, you'll only need a fairly modest 400wt PSU for the single card and for SLI your going to need a 500wt PSU with 12 V and rating of 34A. Expect three varients by late june (22nd?), the GTX, GT, and vanilla.

    I wish it was out, though late june is only a month away :) . I will totally upgrade to one of those babies unless ATI has a better card in store. Either way it will beat the crap out of my 6800 with a puny 128MB's or vram :( .
