nVidia Launches GeForce 6 Series  by Craig D at 15:39

PC
GeForce 6800 Ultra Logo nVidia's latest graphics cards were officially launched today.

“This is the biggest generation-to-generation performance leap that we have ever seen with a new GPU” said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO of NVIDIA

The press release can be read here.

Theres plenty of review coverage also as expected, here's just a few of my favourites.

[H]ard OCP, Anandtech and Hexus

I'm a little gutted it appears to be about double the speed of my 9700pro and I can't afford one.

With the release of Ati's new X800 cards shortly, we have some interesting times ahead in the graphics card world for a change.

You can pick up a 9800pro 128mb for about 150 quid + vat if you shop around.
