Jaaa ik heb er weer één:
tom's hardware: NVIDIA’s GeForce 6800 Ultra Performance Leap
Power requirements:

These values represent the maximum power draw that we measured in the different Game Tests in 3DMark 2003 at different resolutions and quality settings (FSAA, anisotropic filtering). The requirements seem to vary from game to game, but at the same time, ATi and NVIDIA cards also seem to respond to the games differently. In FarCry, for example, the cards need much less juice than in 3DMark 2003. And while the power requirements of the NVIDIA cards spike in Game Test 4, the Radeon 9800XT appetite for electricity is most pronounced in Game Test 1.
Dus niet
veeeeel meer dan een Ati Radeon 9800XT
Conclusie:
What NVIDIA has achieved with the GeForce 6800 Ultra makes even experienced graphics cards editors shake their head in amazement and wonder. The performance this card offers will sweep graphics cards enthusiasts (the author included) off their feet and carry them off into a state of ecstasy in which they can only gape in awe at the sight of these simply amazing benchmark results - Freezinassin! Compared to the GeForce 6800 Ultra, the former high-end models Radeon 9800XT and FX 5950 Ultra often seem like nothing more than cheap mainstream cards...
Once you step back and start breathing normally again, you'll also see that, in addition to the outstanding performance, the new card finally offers very good FSAA quality as well as outstanding texture filtering, which will satisfy even quality purists, thanks to its ability to turn off the trilinear optimizations. Technologically, NVIDIA also takes the lead, owing to a full DirectX 9.0c and ShaderModel 3.0 implementation with unrestricted 32 bit floating point performance.
To those of you ready to camp out in front of your store to get your hands on one of these cards - be warned! The first barrier on your way to graphics ecstasy is the power requirement calling for a PSU with at least 480Watts. In effect, its not so much the power rating that may prove problematic - it may turn out harder to find a power supply with enough ATX power cables for use with the graphics card! Of course, true enthusiasts won't be deterred, and case modders will welcome the new challenge.
But we have some grievances as well. For one thing, there's the disappointing shader quality in FarCry. NVIDIA should get this problem ironed out as soon as possible, as it leaves a bitter aftertaste in our mouths despite (or because of) the otherwise excellent benchmark results. The new video processor also requires some more work through drivers - the GeForce 5950 Ultra with no video processor onboard offers a lower CPU utilization than the GeForce 6800 Ultra with video processor. Still, neither of these points spoil the fun, and NVIDIA should have ample time to resolve these issues before the retail boards launch. Small details like the last-minute change to the fan voltage on our review card leave us with the impression that this may be a little while off anyway. But who knows - let's just wait and see.
Enige minpunten lijken op dit moment de Shader performance in Farcry te zijn en de prestaties van de "video processor". De verwachting is dat dit met driver updates verholpen wordt.
Shader voorbeelden in FarCry:
Tom spreekt echter de verwachting uit dat het nog wel even kan duren voordat je de kaart kunt kopen (zie laatste zin quote).
haha weer verslagen
