Incredible Card. The card I replaced was an FX 5700 which would only score a 2990 using 3dmark 03. I then installed this new 6800 GT which scored 11151 using 3dmark 03. It’s worth every penny.

I would rather have this card over an ATI x800 any day. I oced it easily, and it's running just as good as a Ultra would. Buy this card, it's worth the price tag.

The 6800 GT is amazing! You can overclock it to 420 Mhz (core) and 1201 Mhz (memory) for stable, fast, blazing graphics. The artwork is great (it's Nalu, the Nvidia mermaid demo). The price is awesome! This is the card to buy. The Nvidia demos are beautiful. Welcome to the future.

Excellent card...and don't worry about the slow clocks speeds of a GT (vs an Ultra or Ultra OC)....I have been running this Overclocked at 401mhz/1100mhz since I received it several months ago. Easily hit 65,000 on Aquamark3 (70,000+ once I oc'd my mobo). Outperforms many ultras that I have seen. As mentioned above flawless gaming. Farcry, Doom 3, Half Life 2, Sim2 all PERFECT at 1600x1200.I peaked 100FPS on Doom3 at 1600x1200, Ultra High Detail. Excellent value...
