Positive Reviews For Nvidia' GeForce 6800 Ultra
Sander Sassen writes "Following months of heated discussion and rumors about the performance of Nvidia' new NV4x architecture, today their new graphics cards based on this architecture got an official introduction. Hardware Analysis posted their first looks at the new GeForce 6800 Ultra and takes it for a spin with all of the latest DirectX 9.0 game titles. The results speak for themselves, the GeForce 6800 Ultra is the new king of the hill, beating ATI's fastest by over 100% in almost every benchmark." Reader egarland adds "Revews are up on Firing Squad, Toms Hardware, Anandtech and Hot Hardware." Update: 04/14 16:54 GMT by T : Neophytus writes "HardOCP have their real life gameplay review available."
In a word, "Wow."
I mean, who'd have thunk it that the 6800 would still have life? Maybe ATI can counter with a Radeon All-In-Wonder Xtravaganza 6502!

It seems they forgot to take the card out of its case. Wait no thats just the huge fan/heatsink combo
I have a mini-pc you insensitive clod!

But where do I put this thing? That's not a heatsink, that's the kitchen sink!
I heard from a confidental source that the next NVidia card was going to be called the Super GEForce 95050++ Hyper-titanium Happy Extreme-platinum Ultra MK-II Enhanced V2.2 Omicron version. Keep your eyes open.
and 2 power connections... And it also has what looks to be a vacuum cleaner tied to it..
The approaching question is, which is the principal in your box, the Motherboard or the Video card? My present video card has more memory and sucks more power than my laptop, and like yours has a fan, though it's quiet.
FNNNZZOWWWNT! "Wayl, shewt! Thar goes the arc welder! Gessen we cain't play no Medal o' Honor till we gets a new one."

Will Doom 3 run faster than 10 fps on it?
nVidia mine as well get into the case and CPU fan/heatsink business! Look at that thing!
Hell, with something that big they should just build freezer around the card.

what, both of them?
Thank you ladies and gentlemen, I'm here all week. Available for weddings, bahmitzvahs and light-hearted funerals.
i don't do sigs. oops.
but it requires a 480 watt power supply
bah, I won't be impressed until a video card requires 1.21 gigawatts.
in other news ID Software announce that DoomIII will
run at 30@fps on the new Nvidia 6800
Nvidia GeForce 6800 Ultra: $600
800 Watt Powersupply: $250
MMORPG: $10/mo.
The look on your face when you get your next powerbill: Priceless

[...] but they weren't the champ for being slow on your feet.
What are they doing with my feet? Give 'em back!
Reading Slashdot is ruining my spelling and grammar.
I found the ATI drivers to be just as easy to install and much more stable than the NVidia ones.
Ahahahahah. You should be doing standup with lines like that, hell you even managed to keep your face straight!
When I bought a 9800 Pro I had to do three kernel recompiles to get the damn drivers to work properly, I had to edit part of their interface code because they didn't handle the KT600 chipset I have on my board and even when I got them installed it screwed up my vttys when X was working and they drivers were so bad that several 3D programs actually ran slower than with the Ti4600 I have now put back in here (and installing the drivers for that involved one command...)
Yes, ATI may make very good hardware, but whoever writes their drivers should be taken out and hung by the larger of his testicles until he vows never to go near a computer again in his life.
Isn't it obvious? This is just a big scam by the flight simulator industry! They just don't want to have to make all those jet plane sounds anymore!
Doesn't matter if
Dammit, my Geforce isn't displaying the text properly, I can't make out the end of your sentence!
Mother, do you think they'll like this sig?
