InsaneTek has posted a BFG Geforce 6800 OC review



We all know that the Geforce 6800 series is Nvidia's new generation comeback kid. It is the first video card to support Shader Model 3.0. There were glimpses in the Far Cry v1.2 patch of what the new SM3.0 was capable of. Unfortunately, Ubisoft pulled it off due to bugs with ATI video cards. The majority of you know the 6800GT is possibly the best performance/price ratio video card today. It has the full 16 pipelines, just like the 6800 Ultra, but with a price tag $100 less. The only difference between the GT and the Ultra lies within the clock speeds. The slower clocks can easily be remedied by overclocking, provided that you have good cooling. This, of course, is good news to the enthusiasts. We'd all love to save that $100 and still get the performance. What about saving another $100 and going with the vanilla 6800? That, my friends, is what we're going to find out.
