On September 6th, 2006 NVIDIA unveiled a new lineup of GPUs based on GeForce 7 series technology. This new lineup included the announcement and launch of the GeForce 7900 GS and the announcement, but not hard launch, of the GeForce 7950 GT. Instead, NVIDIA decided to unveil the specifications on the GeForce 7950 GT at that time but were announcing that the video cards based on that GPU wouldn’t actually hit shelves until September 14th. In fact, they requested that everyone hold off on releasing evaluation analysis until September 14th since that is when the video cards were going to be available.
