Features
	NVIDIA CineFX 3.0 Technology
Powers the next generation of cinematic realism. Full support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 enables stunning and complex special effects. Next-generation shader architecture delivers faster and smoother gameplay.
64-Bit Texture Filtering and Blending 
Based on the OpenEXR technology from Industrial Light and Magic, NVIDIA's 64-bit texture implementation sets new standards for image clarity and quality through floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing, and blending.
NVIDIA UltraShadow II Technology
Enhances the performance of bleeding-edge games, like id Software's Doom III, that feature complex scenes with multiple light sources and objects. Second-generation technology delivers more than 4X the shadow processing power over the previous generation.
Intellisample 3.0
The industry's fastest antialiasing delivers ultra-realistic visuals, with no jagged edges, at lightning-fast speeds. Visual quality is taken to new heights through a new rotated grid sampling pattern.

could i use this in conjunction with my 6800 gto in sli? i don't know all the specifics about running 2 video cards in sli

I believe so, I think the only difference between the two cards is clock speed. So if your card has an sli bridge it should be all good.

$154 gets you the better/faster 6800GS on newegg, and that is SLI compliant

no, the 6800gs is an inferior card with only 8 pixel pipelines as opposed to 12. know what you're talking about the next time you try to troll someone's thread.

excuse me, I had the 6800xt and the 6800gs mixed up. you are correct, and that is a good deal. $110 delivered isn't bad for the same card with a lower clock speed. the card does overclock fairly well with that monstrous heatsink

bttt

3/26/2006 9:14:31 PM

$90 and i'll pick it up

3/26/2006 9:28:57 PM

make it $100 and you got a deal

The board models are becoming confusing now days. funny to see an xt as a low end version on nvidia boards while xt is a high-end, and xtx beeing bleeding-edge (I think).

If anyone else is wondering, this card can play Oblivion.

3/27/2006 12:54:15 PM

i've got the 6800 Go 256MB PCIex version in my laptop and it plays Oblivion just fine, but the 7800gt in my desktop pwns it at ultra high quality . Good card though, specially for $100.
