GeForce 6800 Preview

[Spinner]

Looks like one magazine has released a preview of the GeForce 6800 video card from Nvidia. You can download a .zip package containing the scanned 4 page article from the source link below.

If you happenedly own a subscription you probably have received the magazine. For those who buy it in news stands I think still has to wait a couple of days. For those who don\'t want to pay $7.99 for a fricken ad riddled magazine LiquidX has scanned the 4 page article on the GeForce 6800 video card from nVidia. What I liked seeing was the \"Dual DVI\". If the Radeon X800 doesn\'t come standard as Dual DVI then the nVidia card is on my purchase block.

nothing new or intersting, this article is probably made up from other articles that have been around the internet for at least some time. They are probably trying to sell more magazines and get new subcribers.

The Geforce 6800 is good for high resolutions and poor at lower or at least below 1024x768. you'll get only a 10 fps drop from a 800x600 to a 1280x1024 in games such as halo and farcry. Does poorly at opengl and works great at 1024 x 768 with 4x filtering with directx9c games tho for some reason and strange since nvidia cards are best for opengl. Images do look blocky also. Might I add you need a good quality power supply to handle it.

other disadvantages are : runs loud and is very large, weighs a ton .
other advantages : great for high resolutions, comes with great software and dvd decoder, has awesome blue lights, and gets 40 average fps on most last years games with 4x filtering enabled at 1280 x 1024 and all at high settings on halo and farcry. Comes with a decent price aswell.
