NVIDIA's GeForce 6800 and 6800 GT GPUs

[LawOfTheStraw]

Ok enough already with the hail ATI stuff. So you bought a nice card, be happy and count your lucky fps. Gaming is gaming whether you do it on a high end card or on their lighter versions. High end cards just make things look nicer and your wallet alot flatter They dont make you a better gamer(not in my case anyways...lol) ATI or NVIDIA it doesnt matter to me eventhough I have never owned an ATI card. Somehow I always end up with a NVIDIA card. I recently got a 6800GT. I never seen better graphics before in my life but we have to be realistic. Nothing is evolving faster these days then the GPU market. The X800's and 6800's of today are outdated again tomorrow. It seems like only yesterday that we had the awesome 4 color CGA graphics and look where we are now. Just imagine the kind of card that will be needed to run HL3 or Doom4. Gaming is about having fun, it can look slicker then hell but if the gameplay is boring what good do top of the line graphics do?

Exactly doom3 is boring! And my card is still top of the line for the next few months and I bought it 2 months ago! Now ATI users are being repayed with the CS-Source benchmarks. Bow down and all hail ATI

Here we go again, I think we should wait and see NVIDIA drivers for HL2 dont forget Valve and ATi did work uber close and maybe NVIDIA need to tweak

I think HL2 will look good any way you put it. It will be an awesome game and alot of people(me for one) cant wait till the game finally arrives in the stores.

Is there any chance we could have some numbers comparing the newer generation of gpus with the older one? there seems to be a general lacking of any review (not just @ hexus, but anywhere) that shows, for instance, how a vanilla 6800 stacks up against a 9800XT/5950ultra? I know you mentioned that it was a significant improvement in your review, Rys, but is there any chance that we could have some pretty graphs please?

I'll see what I can do Once the 6600 and X700 articles are out of the way, I'll look at bundling everything together into one giant graphics shootout.

You have 6600s and X700s!?!?!? When can we expect a review? The 6600 is looking pretty good from all the information so far, but it isn't very much! And I haven't heard anything about the X700 beyond a name and "it's inbetween the X600 and X900".
