Excactly my thought. I cant find much discription at that link , just a bunch of useless screenies and nVidea logos (Why is that so important?).Hybrid_Halogen wrote:My word...what happened to like errr the 6100...6200..and etc? They skipped them all?
Whats the Ram Clock? GPU Clock? Ram size?
Why was there no heads up from nVidea (We knew months before the other models where resleased)? What happend to the rest of the range? 6100? 6200?
Why is it only 6800 and 6800 Ultra? Wouldnt it be something like all the other cards? MX, TI, FX?
What AGP slot is it using? I see it has 2 nodges. AGP 1X & 2X has one nodge at a side and 4X and 8X on the other. Is 16X on both sides?
Call me a sceptic but I think this is just another late Aprils' Fool Joke.

It's real son. 6800 is here to stay.
Just go to http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=U ... 00&spell=1 You can't tellme ALL these links are in on the April Fool's joke too.
Fact is card manufactures are getting ready for the PCI express which PWNs AGP like crazy! !!! So not much hype is gonna be put into AGP cards. Like the article says, this is probably the last AGP card worth buying. It'll be shippin gfor around $599/699 back in the States.

PCI Express will need a little time to settle in. It'll probably be like 64bit CPUs and Serial ATA. They cant just STOP making and improving hardware for 32bit and ATA, they'll lose a whole massive target market. There will be lots more decent AGP cards to come.
Have nVidea developed a whole new chipset practically over night? 8O

LOL guys i was going to stop wasting my time posting in this forum - but i cannot remain silent at the ignorance here - the 6800 has been news for over a month - it is in fact the long awaited nv40 which is being relleased tonight - and im sure guys are gonna say that the R420 is an april fools joke too bwahahhah

It's official: the 6800 will be shipping for US$499. YIKES 8O !
And with all these retailers fiendishly grinning at the prospect of bundles, I would expect the price to be significantly higher. I also read somewhere that because it (the 6800) uses so much power, retailers will be bundling it witha PSU. Frankly, I don't believe that . But I do believe that PSU upgrades are required for many ppl.
But with retail boards showing up on shelves sometime next month, you won't have to wait long at all.
PS: Anyone like my new sig?

The answer to Nvidia's 6800 from Ati is the X800Pro and X800XT, I believe. X obviously stands for 10... The X800Pro should be out in June, I think and the X800XT in July.amdretard wrote:Now what is ati response in hardware wise
Intel Core i7-950 | MSI X58 Pro-E, STK1366 | Geforce GTX470 1280 | 8GB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM | Samsung 226BW Monitor | Windows 7 Home Premium
I dunno if you guys have checked the tom's hardware article about this, but the link hasn't been posted, so there ya go.
As n00b said, it is indeed the NV40 chipset, which they have been talking about and developing for a while

I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.
Yip, us benchers can't wait for that to hit our shores.....me getting impatient.....
Let's wait and see real-world performance benchmarks between the 2 giants, I somehow think this is going to be interesting...maybe nVidia got their act together this time.......
Btw, Amdretard, your avatar sucks..... ...hehe....
See you guys later,
MrBean.

Darn, thats expensive...
Theyre using Ati plan of attack : Fast, unaffordable
How much do you guyz think this will drop the prices of GF fx5700 ultra / non-ultra?
I am considering buying on of these... any comments welcome {No more than R1500 to spend people!!}

GeForce FX5700 is already at the 1.5 grand mark.
Check out http://www.soltek.co.za or http://www.pcdepot.co.za IF you live around Cape Town. I don't know about the other regions but I guess it would be the same.
Hopefully you can set your sights on a juicier card now !

nVidia probably skipped all those numbers, just to get a higher model number. That way thay can 'sound' as good as ATI
Just check out the GeForce 6800 website for all the info!
