GeForce Go 7800 GTX is nVidia’s new flagship on the portable computer market. We’ve known for long that nVidia has been working on GeForce Go 7800 GTX but now it has finally be launched officially. nVidia claims that GeForce Go 7800 GTX will offers practically as good performance as the deskto equivalent, which sounds a bit too good to be true. But considering that the specifications are almost identical with GeForce 7800 GTX we can surely see there is potential. GeForce Go 7800 GTX has been equipped with 24 pixel pipelines and 8 vertex shaders so the foundation is pretty much the same.
GeForce Go 7800 GTX has actually already been able to show off its new circuit in a short review over at Bit-tech where it has taken a closer look at one of the coming laptops that will use nVidia’s new circuit. The result is the least to say impressive and when it said that the performance would be almost identical it wasn’t lying.
“Frankly, we didn’t believe NVIDIA when it told us that this mobile chip was going to be as fast as the desktop chip. However, leaving aside the fact that desktop enthusiast mainboards and chips are faster than laptops, the graphics chip itself appears to be almost exactly as fast as the 7800 GTX – that’s an incredible feat.”
It seems we’re moving closer and closer to the traditional PC-systems when it comes to both performance features. And the thought of laptops actually replacing stationairy PCs are not feeling as farfetched as it used to be.
GeForce Go 7800 GTX is looking mighty impressive and now we’re starting to wonder if the next step would perhaps be introdcing SLI to laptops.
