Default Leaked pics from 6800 Ultra Review

http://mbnet.fi/elixir/NV40/

this pics have been round to a few sites now, figured you Pimps might likey...

just a note, ALWAYS look at the config for the benchies, most times the 6800U has alot more filtering than the 5950U and the 9800XT which is why the FPS are similar.

But CoD. damn; the 6800U is 50% faster than either of the current gen cards, beats the 10% or less we've seen lately...

The 6800 non ultra is s'posed to be 300 bucks (550x2 core) the 6800 ultra is s'posed to be 400 bucks (600x2 core), all coming with DDR3 memory. Both will spank the 9800XT. I pitty the fool that bought a 9800XT in the last week.

Now lets see what ATI can come up with soon. Even though the people that have benched both cards whisper the NVidia is better abit only a little than the ATI this round.

It's about time that nvidia got back in there to be number 1 on performance.

But i don't know with what they got the score of over 12300 on 3DMark03?
Must be a P4 3.2 GHZ?

So if this is true , imagine if you overclock the P4 & the 6800 card how high it can reach.......15000 or more??

Ho! well , will soon going to know the truth.

Can't wait for ATI's next cards if Nvidia thinks they have the big pants but that is not quite to impressive if you think about it, the only reason it's bigger is because they released their plans first and of course all the hype, don't be a victim wait till next year to get a vid card cause I bet ATI will be on top agian.

Thanks for the link, much information has been gained.

Has anyone looked at all the pics the XT keeps up and even beats the new 6800 in FPS and image quality in alot of tests, hmm funny, but I know I know the drivers are brand new, I do belive that but right now I'm still laughing, have you all seent the duel molex connetions on the 6800 damn that thing is huge and HOT!!! I like it but dislike it at the same time.

Well at Cebit people saw both new cores in action and ATI was trailing (only a bit but still trailing) NVidia. It's anyone's game...
