The 7600gs is about to be extinct?

[Gennobi]

I was reading the forums, and someone stated the 7600-7800 nvidea is about to become extinct, I have no idea why, but I'm curious in finding out what he means. I was about to buy a 7600 for my computer just today.

The 7600GT is hardly going to be extinct... as nvidia's mainstream card, its too important for it to be made extinct. The 7800 is more likely to become extinct since it was practically replaced by the better and cheaper 7900 cards...

i haven't heard anything about that, iwouldn't beleive it unless you heard it from Nvidia or tomshardware.com.

7600 and 7900 cards are brand new and are far from becoming extinct. The 7800 series cards are starting to dissappear though.

The last orders for the 7800 series were set out by nVidia sometime back in February or March. Since then 7800 production line has been shut down and is probably being converted to produce 90nm GPUs.

Is there a difference between the 7600 gs & 7600gt?

Yep the 7900 lines killed it younger brother the 7800 lines. Oh well we all end up somewhere. :twisted:
