NVIDIA launched the GeForce 6 series video cards (NV40) over a year ago (fourteen months to be exact). The GeForce 6 series initially debuted with the GeForce 6800 Ultra. The GeForce 6800 GT, GeForce 6800 and then later the GeForce 6600/GT and GeForce 6200 followed it. In the past year, NVIDIA did not launch any architectural refreshes for the 6800 family. We did see the introduction of PCI-Express parts and even a BFGTech 6800 Ultra with 512MB of GDDR3. However, we did not see any changes to the 6800 Ultra or 6800 GT’s base specifications. ATI, on the other hand, refreshed their entire lineup with the X850 series bringing new models and faster clock speeds during that same time.
