512mb 6800 Ultra

[Nubius]

It's not that big of a deal or anything but thought some people might like some pics. Appearantly a lot less capacitors on the thing which is pretty cool as now it will be harder for someone to accidentally break one off.

Hmm see Nvidia is right up there w/ the steroids anyways. Looks like ATI sill has competition.

No steroids. Same VPU with twice the VRAM.

So? bet it will still outperform lol.

Looks great, i wonder if they are going to be in the 600$ figure. I can imagine the 6800 will be less expensive then the ATI. They are coming out this summer rite?

At the moment it will perform slower.

 

[PP Mguire]

How do you figure?

 

[Codeine]

Nothing is utilized for such cards P.P. Mguire.

How do you figure?

The card will have to allocate a larger amount of memory on the same clock speed and pipeline architechture, so it will naturally take longer to perform tasks.

More memory does not equal more speed.
