Leadtek PX6800 GS Extreme

Leadtek’s ‘Extreme’ GeForce 6800 GS video card that comes clocked at 485/1100MHz. Leadtek’s GeForce 6800 GS implementation is a good one, and we’re glad to see that they’ve included a good bundle and that little bit extra to set themselves apart from other board partners. We were impressed to find that the card performed closer to a GeForce 6800 Ultra than a GeForce 6800 GT and it was noticeably faster than any GeForce 6800 GS running at reference clock speeds.

If you’re a Quake 4 player and are looking for a video card in this price range today, I could only recommend Leadtek’s GeForce 6800 GS Extreme - it performed head and shoulders above its competitors. HDR also seems to generally run better on NVIDIA’s hardware at this time, and Source is one of those game engines that you can’t ignore. NVIDIA has the upper hand here too, with Leadtek’s 6800 GS Extreme capable of playing the game at a higher detail setting.
