Brian Burke, Senior PR Manager di NVIDIA Corp. chiarisce la posizione dell'azienda rispetto ai primi benchmark della 7800 GS circolati in rete in quest'ultimo periodo:
I want to clear up a bit of confusion about the GeForce 7800 GS PCI Express articles that have surfaced recently.
Without getting into the nitty gritty details, NVIDIA provides boards to our developers for their in house game development. These boards are meant for the sole purpose of inhouse engineering and QA. In the case of the recent GeForce 7800 GS PCI Express reviews that you may have seen, some of these developer boards were mistakenly given out to end users at an event the developers sponsored. These boards were never meant to ship in the open market.
NVIDIA has NO plans to release a commercially available GeForce 7800 GS PCI Express board. For any end users that many have received this board as a prize, NVIDIA will be happy to swap this out for a GeForce 7800 GT PCI Express board, or a GeForce 6800 GS PCI Express board, as these two boards are commercially available.
Quindi nessun piano di rilascio in commercio per la scheda. Chi accidentalmente è stato raggiunto da una scheda 7800 GS, potrà sostituirla con una GeForce 7800 GT o una GeForce 6800 GS.
