Nvidia Geforce 6800 Ultra :thewave:
How muts it will Cost

wise_evian · April 15th, 2004

according to my sources $499

Boltzmann · April 15th, 2004

Woah, I want GeForce FX 6800

Screw the site design, I want the card

orysyz · April 15th, 2004

If I could afford it, I really want that GeForce 6. Anyway, if its price in USD is 499 it could be 2500 in my currency. Damn it.

wise_evian · April 15th, 2004

That 499 is only for the ultra version. Nvidia is releasing two forms of the 6800 a regular and an ultra. Regular not sure exactly but i know its a couple hundred cheaper.

Player-X · April 15th, 2004

anyone else have the feeling the ATI fanboys would be screaming like Mac fanatics after someone says something logicly bad about the Mac

I guess I'll be buying the 6700-6500 range of cards unless a 6800 non ultra is 200USD or less

no....the Mac is a piece of ****. It was good when Windows was at 3.1, but nothing really changed with the Mac at all during the years. A faster processor, new GUI look, same old garbage

Kirby I mean the ATI fan boys would scream like if you went into a Mac forums and posted that,I know the Mac is crap but some people belive what they want to belive and want to kill everyone who thinks otherwise

then so be it. We all know ATI is the future. /me gets out his bulletproof vest. NVIDIA is already at the top, the only other place to go is down

or they can build a space rocket and go even further! you never know... microsoft managed.

JanusX · April 15th, 2004

Well ATI's specs pretty much match the GeForce 6 so who cares about specs. Performance is what matters and we won't know which wins there until both next gen cards are on the retail market.

I don't know about you, but performance, features, and options are what matters to me.

JanusX · April 15th, 2004

Isn't that what I said?

Player-X · April 16th, 2004

How many pipelines is in your card is the last thing you'll worry about when you're dodgeing rockets while trying to hit your opponent with a shield gun in UT2004 as long as the framerates are enough to get you through the fight and similar fights in future games like Doom3

Actually they dropped considerably during the reign of the FX. They lost a lot of market- and mind-share and ATI is pretty much even with them. With the GeForce 6800 Ultra they're hoping to climb back to the top, and it shouldn't be too hard with their latest flagship.

Xenoran · April 16th, 2004

From what I've seen, the initial performance of the board is very impressive, but I do worry in one department. For the most part, the 6800 has caught up to ATI on image quality, but shader quality is still sub-par as shown here: http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/...e_6800-46.html

My concern is this, if they are currently only matching the Radeon 9800XT in terms of image quality, a board that is at least one generation behind the 6800 in virtually all regards, how will they fare against ATI's new board? Performance is anyone's guess, but I think it's very likely that ATI may beat them again on general rendering quality.
