Price... unknown but my guess £150->£250 on launch

Appears to be PCI since they will work along side a duel PCI-Express setup [check Alienware site pc builder thingy]

I dunno about the AGP 6800, but it should work with pretty much any 2.0+ shader card i think.... but i think its targeted at the PCI-E cards.

Games, erm well the list is here aswell as a shead load of information about the cards and some nifty clips of games in action with the card!

Some Comparison Footage The Cellfactor footage requires that you are over 16 before you can watch it but its well worth the watch and it looks stunning



Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.

Yes but some PCs have 3 PCi-e slots, 2x GFX and one other for newer cards.
