We at Phoronix have been experimenting with the EVGA e-GeForce 7900GT CO SUPERCLOCKED 256MB for the past couple of days, and with the embargo now lifted we have our preview of the next-generation solutions under Linux.
The GeForce 7900GT uses the G71 (G71-GT-N-A2) graphics core. Keep in mind as we begin this adventure, NVIDIA is the only manufacturer to provide the latest-and-greatest graphics card support under Linux. Since June 22, 2005 — the 7800GTX 256MB launch date, NVIDIA has provided support for these flagship products under Linux (although the initial drivers were quite flaky), while on the side of the red we have seen no X1000 series support by their Linux drivers. As Phoronix was the only source on the matter, we are still confident that ATI will deliver a spring driver release that supports the X1000 series.
