512MB GeForce 6800 Ultra Reviewed
Timmus writes "If you thought the $500 GeForce 6800 Ultra and $550 Radeon X850 XT PE were excessive, wait until you see nVidia's GeForce 6800 Ultra 512MB: it officially retails for $999.99! Firingsquad has a review of the card manufactured by BFG. They ran tests with 6 different configurations (including a pair of 512MB cards running in SLI) with widescreen benchmarks at 1980x1200 as well."
Do you now buy the computer as something to run the graphics card on, rather than vice-versa?
No one needs that much graphics processing... *looks at Longhorn* Nevermind.

All I can say is that for a grand, this card better blow me and make me toast in the morning.

Yeah, but it comes with a t-shirt! That makes all the difference!

Actually the market for the "size of my video card reflects the size of my penis" niche is bigger than you would expect
Which is why I'm still running a full length CGA card.

Around my parts, you could also buy around 50 cases of 24 beers. That's 1200 beers, enough to make your SNES look like the best machine ever for the next 100 days. You'll even get 8X AA/AF at no cost, and tons of gaussian blur.
Then you'll need a new kidney.
Can't they at least sneak an Apple ][ or C64 onto the chipset just to shut the old timers up?! Well, of course it has more X than your first computer did. It's got your first computer in it.

Back in my day, we had punch cards. And they weren't those fancy paper ones. Ours where made out of stone. If we made a mistake, you just didn't fill out another one. You had to walk 2 miles uphill to the rock quarry and cut another one. Kids these days.
Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
Damn ricers.
Not content to read punch cards.
Honestly, what is it with you guys and your "CRT Displays"?

Hard drive!? I had to use audio tapes and a tape recorder for my first computer's mass storage! The computer (a Sinclair ZX-81) had 1K of RAM which was shared between video memory and main memory.
And I had to walk uphill to school both ways.

For that price it better come with a hooker and a bottle of whiskey.
