NVIDIA Silently Announces Geforce 6800XT

August 17th 2005 | Graphics Cards

ATI just announced its counter part, the Radeon X800GT card with very good price performance ratio and wants to compete on the 6600GT range. As Nvidia knows, rhw Geforce 6600GT is too juicy a cake to give it up without a fight, and therefore it just announced a new card branded as Geforce 6800XT.

Nvidia 6800XT is nothing more than an eight pipeline 6800 card but in Nvidia’s case it will be available for OEMs only. Nvidia will keep its price around $5 below ATI X800GT price and OEMs have to react to such a deal as it means $5 more greenies in their pockets. ATI doesn’t have any other choice then to drop the OEM price of X800GT, which is already a very low priced part.
