For $200 this is looking to be an excellent mid range card, looks like it overclocks well also. I think it will provide a lot of benching fun and be good for games ( looks like 1600x1200 is fine for games which is good for a midrange card ).
Shame it is only going to be launched as PCIe to start off. Mind you, I'm thinking an nforce4 or VIA SLi PCIe board and two of these would be very very nice as a games rig.

2x6600GT > 6800UE?
Well it is half the pipelines and vertex units of the 6800U but is 500Mhz v 400/450, so if you double the numbers up it is actually faster :DQuote:

It's only half the bandwidth of course being 128 bit bus but again only has to draw half the screen ..
So it is looking good.

200$... Thats cheaper than a new 9800pro 128MB...
But still it sux until you can do 2xPCI-Expres..
Arent they doing dual GFX with X800 and 6800 series aswell???
8 pipes with 128-bit is a little odd :p: but i guess they had to do it so it wouldnt outdo the high end fx series.
It DOES out-do the FX, look at the 3DMark03 scores...Quote:

Yes they are...I thought it was going to be available on the high end cards only?Quote:

Otherwise you could spend 2x$400 and have something faster than a $500 card.
funny thing is the existing fx5950 cards may drop to like $150 now because of this. we may also see 9800 pros drop to that as well :D
Where did they get a copy of 3dmark 2004?
i see no 3Dmark04?
I see the 3dmark 04...
unless i am mistaken

LOL! You said the exact opposite not long ago, and only because of the 128-bit memory path.Quote:

hehe :p:
I do hope this makes the 9800 Pro prices drop aswell, then i could pick me up a cheap 9800 Pro 256 mb n mod it to an XT. ive always wanted to :p:

FX cards are overdue for drops, 9800s may not drop as much. Nvidia fans will now ditch their slower fx cards in favor of the 6600gt but ati guys have no reason to drop their 9800s unless ati makes something like an x800se
there IS such thing as an x800se, but its just for places like dell to put it in their compy's.
i wouldnt be surprised to see an x700 series matching a 9800xt (to become midrange), as thats all they've got between their x600 and x800 series.
:slobber:
MOmma!
ati does need the x700 series with 8 pipes and 256 bit ram to crush nvidia's 6600s
What would be even crazier is if Nvidia releases a PCI express version of the Geforce 6800 and allow SLI. Dual 12 pipeline cards..drools...
i thought Nvidia WAS going to release SLi for the 6800Us in pci-e format. or am i mistaken?
oh i almost forgot, does anyone know where they actually did get 3dmark04?
yes SLI 6800 ultras should be out there, thats what Alienware has been advertising forever now.
people get 3dmark04 cause they are beta testers.
any person leaking 3dmark04 would probably live to regret it, and so would we, cause then they would change it and delay it.
You mean dual 16 pipe cards?Quote:

no he said 6800, no gt or u.
You're right...but I think when you factor in SLI, 2x6800U will pull far away from the vanilla version...but so will the price tag.
indeed. but, i guess he was after something more affordable but still awesome.
And why do they need an 8pipe card with 2x ram bits to crush an exact same card...Quote:

Im at school so i cant open the freakin link :D page banned...
I have info on NV6600 ATI counter...
They have a card with about 500Mhz core... 500Mhz ram... Think it was 128 or 256Bit ram interface... 8 pixel pipes.. BUT this is where ATI will win big time... 6600 has 3Vertex pipes... ATI's mid range GPU has 6xVS pipes...
X800 series x700? 6600 and 6800 will be SLI ;o)
But SLI is "only" good for 90% performance... And thats from the companys so its probably like peak performance in 1 program on 1 machine.. Would bargain about 75%...
Maybe my next machine will be Dual Xeon 3Ghz and SLI X800 ;o)
Intel prices just dropped like 35% on the XEONS!!! :D
I think 2 x 6800GT solution in SLI mode would be a very nice step.
If you run at 1024x768 then each card is running at 512x384 and if you are doing a 3dmark03 run with that effective resolution what are the scores ?
Can someone run a 6800GT at 640x480 to give an indication of what you get ?

This is why I think ill just wait for ati's x700xt and see how it measures against exisiting 9800 pros. Id feel dumb if I bought a good clocking 9800 pro only to match a stock x700xt LOL. If the x700xt is that good then its about time we see big drops in 9800pro/xt then!
Your damn right! lolQuote:

i thought that ati wasnt going to implement any sort of SLi...
also the thing alienware has been advertising isnt SLi its supposedly their own technology that can be used with any 2 matching pci express cards. Id love to see what 2x x800XTs could do, its a shame alienware isnt licensing their tech to anyone else. so basically u have to buy an alienware system to get it which is a real pain.
last i saw.. it was $192 for a sapphire 9800pro.. i bought mine for about $200 tho...Quote:

7000 3dmarks 03 is fine... in fact its great!
i say.. screw the 6600gt... when it comes out hopefully the 6800nu will cost less.. that is clearly a much better card and will only cost (according to estimated) $50 more than a 6600gt? there is no comparison ;)
