Chaintech Apogee AA6800 Turbo Edition Review

Performance analysis for this card is fairly simple to comprehend. Because of its 10 percent default overclock, it managed to gain a slight lead against the standard 6800 card. However, the most interesting battle throughout these tests was between ATI X800 Pro and Chaintech’s AA6800. Both of these cards were neck-to-neck against each other in performance ratios.

There were some games that were easily NVIDIA dominated while other games sided with ATI. The positive thing to notice between the three cards is that they have the potential to be great performers at a fairly stable price point. All cards yielded impressive results at high AA and AF settings and at higher resolutions. This depicts the improvement that NVIDIA and ATI has made on these new architectures.

We are delighted to see the overclocking potential of the low-end NVIDIA cards. By overclocking close to 25 percent above their stock speeds, these cards are sure to be of high value to users with limited budget.

Chaintech made the package even better with their accessories and GOSU. While it wouldn’t hurt to add one or two additional full version games, it is not too bad either since you are being presented with one of the latest games in the market. We are very impressed with GOSU expect for one minute tweak that we mentioned previously. GOSU will unquestionably interest new overclockers and give them comfort with a sleek looking, GUI based overclocking utility.
