6800XT REVIEW 6800XT BENCHMARK OVERCLOCK By :hardware review Posted:2006-06-06 xtreview is your : Video card - cpu - memory - Hard drive - power supply unit source what is the the 6800xt:the card look like the 6800le it s come with nv40 gpu it has 8 pixel and 4 vertex pipelines.the card should come cloocked at 325 MHz  for the gpu and the ram will operate at 700 MHz (256 bit as bus width ) using the nvidia clock referance as u know that some Manufacturers sell preoverclocked card the one witch will be tested today has come with 425 MHz for the core and 500 MHz the memory .the card come clocked a bit high if we taked in our mind the nvida referance clock but it come guaranted to work at those clock and operate stably as a referance also here is the hole serie specification   Memory Interface Memory Memory Bandwidth Memory Data Rate core clock Pixels per Clock (peak) Textures per Pixel* 6800 utra 256-bit 512 MB 35.2 GB/sec. 1050 MHz 425 MHz 16 6 6800 gt 256-bit 256mb 32 GB/sec. 1000 MHz 350 MHz 16 6 6800 256-bit 256mb/ 128mb  22.4GB/sec.  700 MHz 325 MHz 12 5 6800 xt 256-bit 256mb/ 128mb 22.4GB/sec.   700 MHz 325 MHz 8 4 6600gt 128-bit 256mb/ 128mb 16 GB/sec. 1000 MHz 500 MHz 8 4 what  (XT) mean: in ati language xt mean xtreme edition it s alwais come with high end card such 1900xtxt or  1800xt etc... but in nvidia side the xt mean cripled budget card lower pipeline unit ,lower gpu clock and memory  to get the price of the card down here is full specification list for the nvidia geforce 6 gpu: CineFX 3.0 Engine Powers the next generation of cinematic realism.

This new bus doubles the bandwidth of AGP 8x delivering over 4GB/s in both upstream and downstream data transfers. What is Shader Model 3 The shader model 3 is an optimized shader model 2.there is no new visual effect .in other word  it is a performance booster is some case over the smart shader 3 .especially with new game patch you can see a great performance improvement sm3 . and of corse u will get smouther gaming using sm3 there is a game support. so u sould be happpy with nvidia geforce series 7 and 6 they fully support the sm3 and yes it help in some game and improve a lot the gaming performance what is HDR called high dynamic rendering.HDR is something you all know from games like Far Cry. It's extremely bright lighting that brings a really cool cinematic effect to gaming. This effect is becoming extraordinarily popular. HDR is already present in Far Cry, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Serious Sam 2 and in Half Life 2: Lost Coast. It will be available in Unreal 3 and likely a large number of other games, not to mention 3DMark06. Let the screenshots do the talking and click away. here is now the 6800xt review System  used was Mainboard : Gigabyte Asus-SLI motherboard, nForce4 SLI, Socket 939 Cpu : AMD Athlon 64 FX-57, Socket 939   Graphics Cards : GeForce 6600 GT (PCX) 128 MB GeForce 6800 XT (PCX) 256 MB GeForce 6800 (PCX) 128 MBGeForce 6800 GT (PCX) 256 MB GeForce 7800 GTX (PCX) 512 MB Memory: 2048 MB (2x1024MB) DDR1 - PC-3200 2-3-2-5 Windows XP Professional SP1 NVIDIA nForce4 Platform Driver 6.39 DirectX 9.0c End User Runtime ForceWare 81.89 RivaTuner 2.0 (tweak utility) Game List Used for Test: Far Cry Splinter Cell 3  3DMark03 3DMark05 Serious Sam 2 Doom 3 Quake 4 note the card used in our 6800xt review came with 425 gpu and 1000 MHz memory DDR 3. 6800xt gaming benchmark Serious Sam 2 here the 6800xt was beaten by all  other  card the 6600gt win here by 1 fps ,thanks to the high clocked gpu(500mhz ) . the 256 -bit memory bus of the 6800xt is no helping at all it still toped out with 6600gt witch have only 128-bit memory interface.but the 6800 xt is providing enough fps to play with some moderated high setting the game and enjoy the game play Splinter cell wow 138 fps for the 7800gtx card. the geforce 7 gpu is a lot better than 6 one . the 6800xt is performance is good here it score 76 fps even higher than the 6800 witch come with more vertex and pixel shader. the core clock played a large role in this benchmark remenber that the 6800xt card used was preoverclocked 425/1000 MHz witch higher by 100 MHz than the nvidia stock referance here is now some result with Hdr enabled .the only geforce 6 gpu presenting respectable frame rate was the one in 6800gt . the 6800xt  here top the 6600gt and the 6800 by 5 and 1 fps respectivly. the 7800gtx card is provinding awesome performance .with 101 fps witch more than enough Quake 4 based in open gl witch performing very well in nvidia card (Thanks for nvidia optimized driver) nothink especial here it look clearly that the 6800xt performance is somewhere between the 6800gt and 6800 .except for the 6600gt win here over the 6800 by 1 fps . all the card has pretty smilar performance lets know move to 16aa and 8 af and see results first I would notice impressive performance of the 7800gtx card look  not even 1 fps drop . all the other card  geforce 6 serie has soufer from the high setting but they still producing enough fps for good game play with full graphic setting enabled.no change here again the 6800xt confirm its place over the 6600gt card farcry the setting used was 1600/1200 resolution . all the card are providing respectable fps but I alwais enjoyed gaming with 60 fps++ as frame rate.the 6800xt is compliting with 6800 card  about the same fame rate. the 6800xt out scored the 6600 gt by 9 fps witch is nice result. Lets see now some synthetic benchmark 3d2003 benchmark result the result of this benchmark confirm the performance of the 6800xt card.it is  again somwhere better than 6600gt and equal or higher from the  6800 stock 6800xt 3d 2005 benchmark result The same here for 3d mark 2005 and the 6800xt performance 6800xt Overclocking as u know the card come preoverclocked so I was not excepting a high overclock from it.generally the nv 40 gpu should overclock in 400 MHz ++ range   Referance clock   Card used   6800xt overclocked result Core clock 400 Mhz 425  Mhz 475 Mhz Memory Clock 500 MHz (1000 MHz ) 500 MHz (1000 MHz ) 1280 Mhz The overclocking result of the 6800xt is pretty good. The onboard DDr 3 memory is also dowing well with 280 MHz of overclock ,about 25% from the memory and 12% from the gpu. lets see how much of gaming improvement we have got from this overclock about 15 % of performance increse should be right with the overclocked 6800xt. u can clearly see a nice boost of 10 fps aproxsimativly is those game. Coclusion of our 6800xt review First I want to note : the card used in our test was coupled with DDR 3 memory and preoverclocked card so the 6800xt as nvidia referance card should be a lot lower 325/700 vs 425/1000 this should be about 25% boost . please check twice the card clock before making any order. The 6800xt is now a good low range card witch provide enough fps for medium to high setting  gaming .u could also consider the 7600gt witch is now the middle range card u can check the review here . xtreview is your : Video card - cpu - memory - Hard drive - power supply unit source we would be happy to answer for your question . if you have suggestion or comment regarding this review our support would be glad to help just join our forum and ask u will get the best answer to discuss check our forum section :-) RATE THIS REVIEW 1 2 3 4 5    / 5   View Stat
