Nvidia 6800 Ultra - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Does anyone know when this card is going to be released? I thought it was going to be released at the end of this month, but I guess not. I want to upgrade my system, and I am waiting for this card to do it.

That's a good question. Even NVIDIA seems reluctant to give a release date. www.nvidia.com states that the GeForce 6800 Launch is during the end of May and well into June, so we can expect it pretty damn soon.

They need to get their asses in gear! ATI already has their Radeon X800 Pro out.

I'm still curious to see the Radeon X800 XT non-Platinum Edition and GeForce 6 6850 Ultra benchmarks. Neither one has been released to reviewers yet!

Hey Lasereth,

Thanks for the reply! I appreciate it. Yeah, it is getting annoying.. They really need to release the card! There shouldn't be such a huge gap in time from when they announce the card to when it is available..

I am also interested in the other bench marks, but I think I am already sold on the 6800 ultra.

I hadn't read the information at www.nvidia.com, so thanks for the heads up. They better release it soon.. or... I will have to wait.. ha ha
