Looking around the TrustedReviews labs we noticed that we had a small collection of graphics cards that use the GeForce 6800 GPU. Of course that means that they share a number of common features and we thought it would be pointless for us to review them individually as we would end up repeating chunks of the specification. Far better, we thought, to do them as a round-up so we can focus on the differences between one graphics card and another.
You’ll recall that the GeForce 6800 (codenamed NV40 during development) was launched back in April 2004. The chip is fabricated on a 0.13 micron process with 222 million transistors, and crucially it has the 256bit memory controller that was so obviously lacking in the ill-fated FX5800. Initially there were two variants of the chip: the 6800 and 6800 Ultra, then in May Nvidia released the 6800 GT, and for a time there were also rumours of a 6800 Ultra Extreme.
