GeForce 6800 GS Review

Die Coin

PC Perspectives lays down a great in-depth review of the Nvidia 6800 GS. It looks like ATI is going to continue to be lagging in the mid-range video card market for some time to come.

The NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GS GPU is a great addition to NVIDIA's widening selection of parts based on the NV40 architecture. While the performance of the 6800 GS and the 6800 GT are fairly similar, NVIDIA is able to make the NV42 for a much lower price and keep yields even higher making the GS an easy late-in-the-season decision. ATI doesn’t have anything to compete with in the same price range and as such the 6800 GS makes a great purchase for budget conscious gamers.
