The EVGA.com e-GeForce 6800 Performance Gain

The technology found in NVIDIA's latest generation of GPUs consists of more than just a few improvements made to old graphics chips. These new GPUs represent a huge leap in technology, sophistication, and performance. Built on NVIDIA's proven 0.13 micron process, these new GPUs have advanced features such as Superscalar Architecture, Shader Model 3.0 Support, Intellisample 3.0 Anitaliasing, 64-bit Texture Filtering, and true 32-bit Color Precision. Features that leave even the most sophisticated graphics cards of the previous generation standing still.

In fact, the performance gains that you can enjoy from even the "Little Brother" of the GeForce 6 family, the GeForce 6800, are enormous: it runs at least a full 12% faster than the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5950 Ultra or the ATI 9800XT the previous generation's top performers; and the 6800 comes in at an MSRP of only $299, not the $499 that was standard for the others.

With dramatic performance gains like this, and the advanced technology needed to support upcoming games; its little wonder that the 6800 series is generating so much popularity.
