Just for the record: A GeForce 7900 (G71, optimized G70 aka RSX) can run Crysis at medium-low settings, 800x600, at 14 frames per second average... just so you know ok?

Is not that easy, RSX has a bus of 128 bits (low range cards like the 7600 has the same bus), the 7900 has a bus of 256 bits (medium range cards)... so i think is the RSX is not just a 7900, falls between the 7600GT and 7900GS

its hard to say honestly becasue it could also be as strong as an 8600GT. You never know unless we get full documentation from nvidia which we wont have till the PS4 is released.

Well yeah, but all signs seem to point that it's a 90nm G70 (NOT G71, I'll explain on this later). When nVidia released the GeForce 7800 (G70), they claimed it was as powerful as two GF6800 on SLI, with 302,000,000 transistors... same thing said about the RSX. The difference is that the G71 is an optimized, refined design, with less transistors, better performance and less power consumption. The RSX is an unmodified G70 it seems.

My guess is that it's a GeForce 7800 with it's balls cut (128 bit bus) (and opposite to popular belief, having the VRAM on the package of the GPU DOESN'T gives it a boost in performance, it's there to save space in the main print circuit board, and therefor, money)
