XFX GeForce 6800 GS XXX Edition Review

Nope … not X-Rated at all, but this card is certainly very special. A couple of weeks ago we reviewed a GeForce 6600 from that wicked company called XFX. One week later NVIDIA however decided to throw in their Christmas release and lifted up the spirit by releasing yet another new graphics card, the GeForce 6800 GS. So since we like XFX so much and since this is going to be a hell-of-a popular graphics card for a lot of people in that Christmas spirit, we just had to take a peek at another GeForce 6800 GS, from XFX .. the XXX editon. At default it has extremely high clocks, so high that the card will beat a GeForce 6800 GT easily.

XFX did something really extraordinary with this “XXX Edition” product in two fold. First of all the higher core and memory clocks are just brilliant. It boosts the performance way beyond the 6800 GT for a better price. A default manufacturer overclock will always fall under the manufacturers warranty. This means at these lovely clock speeds you are two years safe of any defects. Secondly I just have to mention the inclusion of both Far Cry and Call of Duty 2, now that’s just great value isn’t it ? The 6800 GS from XFX simply is a fantastic choice, period.
