| "The XFX GeForce 6800 GS model is a superb adoption of the new NVIDIA GPU that is overclocked a healthy 15% to get the most out of an already well stuffed video card."
|
| "The XFX 6800GS is a great card for the MSRP of $249. Online the 6800GS is retailing for $209 online, making it an easy choice....NVIDIA has hit a home run with the GeForce 6800 GS and the XFX version of the card is the best of them."
|
| "We're going to get right to the point here. The new GeForce 6800 GS is a winner. With an MSRP of $249 this card currently has an unbeatable price / performance ratio. "
|
| "Don't bother waiting for anything else to appear, the 6800 GS offers us the biggest bang for the fewest bucks of any graphics card we're likely to see anytime soon."

| "Since the PX6800 has the option for the budding SLI technology it deserves a little more in the ratings. I give the Leadtek PX6800 TDH 9.5 pimp hats and award it the PimpRig Pimp Gear Award."
|
| "The BFG GeForce 6800GT OC delivers top-notch 3D performance now, and promises to be a decent long-term buy for gaming enthusiasts."
|
| "Bragging rights as a PC gamer are fleeting, at best. Someone can always come along in a few months with a faster system. But as games become more graphics and CPU intensive, having the headroom inherent in our liquid-cooled SLI system means that we won't have to upgrade this system for a long, long time."
|
| "The 6800 GT was clearly the best buy among the $399 cards."

There’s ample supply of them and they simply kick the crap out of the competition at the same price level. Pixel Shader 3.0 is started to make its way into more titles and NVIDIA’s release of PureVideo functionality before the year’s end clinched the deal as this being the 'must-have' graphics card by gamers everywhere."

|
| "The 6800 GT’s 350MHz, 16 pixel pipeline core was built for performance, while the 256MB of GDDR3 memory operating at 500MHz it is paired with ensures high frame rates at high resolutions and with eye candy features such as AA/AF enabled."
|
| "From a technology standpoint the NV40 GPU is an outstanding product. It is fast, it is efficient, and it produces some outstanding visuals at great framerates."
|
| "All GeForce 6800 GT-based cards are intrinsically good."
