 Introducing
The GeForce 6 Series Family
The
NVIDIA GeForce 6 Series, which includes GeForce 6800 Ultra and GeForce
6800, is the first of a family of GPUs designed to deliver a new
generation of performance for powering 3D graphics and video processing.
Its foundation is a revolutionary new 3D graphics architecture that
is the first to deliver Microsoft® DirectX® 9 Shader Model
3.0 support for ultra–realistic images, and a superscalar
design for unmatched performance. In order to address the growing
demand from PC users for advanced video functionality, NVIDIA added
an on chip video processor—a first in the GPU industry.
NVIDIA
GeForce 6800 Ultra – The next-generation flagship
product for Spring ‘04, the GeForce 6800 Ultra is unmatched
in speed and image quality, and is the only GPU architecture to
deliver support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0.
NVIDIA
GeForce 6800 – Based on the same great GeForce
6800 Ultra architecture, the GeForce 6800 delivers off-the-charts
performance and image quality.
The
GeForce 6800 Ultra features a superscalar 16-pipe architecture,
offering incredible increases in speed over the previous generation
(GeForce FX 5950 Ultra), in areas such as:
-
4-8× floating -point shader power
- 4×
shadow processing power
- 4×
occlusion culling efficiency
- 2×
vertex processing power
- ~2×
frame buffer bandwidth
