Gigabyte GeForce 6800 GT 256 MB Graphics Card Review

The flavor of today’s review is the GeForce 6800 and it’s labeled GT. The new Series 6, under label N68T256D, that of course is based on the heavily popular GeForce 6800 GT videocard with 256 MB GDDR3 memory. Gigabyte is one of my personal favorite manufacturers. They have a strong and solid research and development team and produce high quality products at an affordable price. Besides that, most of their videocards always have had a good reputation in terms of tweaking. The GT is the same product as the 6800 Ultra, yet clocked 50 Mhz slower and has slightly less memory bandwidth. That’s the biggest difference… oh and hey… 100 USD bucks cheaper! Gosh I almost forgot that didn’t I? The Geforce 6800 GT sounds like a rally car and is priced exactly the same as the Radeon X800 Pro. That product has 4 pipes less (12 pixel pipelines). Making the GT superior on paper performance and feature wise.

. . .Dear fellowship of Guru’s… again Gigabyte has proven they make a high quality videocards. If you want a high-end card that’s relatively affordable, extremely fast and reliable. The card performed as expected from A to Z, very good PCB build, a shame it has the reference board 100% including the green color (where’s the Gigabyte Blue that I like so much and the unique cooling designs we loved so much??). Furthermore it has a reasonable software package.
