Now that you mentioned it. I reread the paragraph and it seems like its logical. They could well talking about the non ultra.
But, wouldn't a 475mhz non ultra be too close of the performance to the ultra?

For those of you who doesnt understand norwegian, the article says that nVidia will be changing the referance design on the GeForce 6800 Ultra and that will mean a delay. It will be in stores by end may.
They got this info from a card manufacturer, they also say that nVidia has something up their sleeve, but couldnt comment on it because that would reveal the source.
Guess we will just have to wait and see what changes nVidia is going to do to the referance design all the hardware sites have tested now.

Ok to all that, but make it "July" for the in stores date.ciaspook said:

My Question...mikechai said:
If X800pro beats the 6800ULTRA, and X800XT completely Eviscerates 6800ULTRA.. and has better AA and better AF (or at least Equal AF)..
Why the heck would you want or even care that the nv40 ultra was cheaper?

That would be interesting...John Reynolds said:mikechai said:Ok. So we can start talking about the 6850/6900 ...
I dare nVidia to name it the GeForce 6969 Double Ultra. 8)

First of all, at the moment we are speculating. There are a lot of rumors floating around about NV40 and higher speed parts/new ref board design which although unconfirmed have put a lot of smoke into the scenery. Furthermore, i find it kind of hard to believe the X800 Pro will beat the 6800 Ultra...if that's the case and these parts are not priced similarly then i guess nVidia are in trouble as i can't see many ppl paying $100 more to get a lower performing part, regardless of SM3.0 support.
Still D3 can play a major role, what if 6800 Ultra smokes ATi's offering in this engine, and we know that there are gonna be a lot of games based on it. So what i am trying to say is, WE ARE IN THE DARK HERE
It was a given that a reference board redesign is needed - look at the reworks on the review boards...

It has been posted 10 times now but Doom 3 is hard capped at 60 fps in the renderer.

Well you do have a very good point there. But sadly that is not going to happen 8)AlphaWolf said:

There are cleary some things that Nvidias Hardware are going to be better at. For some people they will be the most important thing to them. Its not all a one sided affair for either party.
Why does that matter any? The benchmarks won't be capped, and a faster card will always allow higher resolution/FSAA/AF gameplay.Doomtrooper said:DoS said:Still D3 can play a major role, what if 6800 Ultra smokes ATi's offering in this engine, and we know that there are gonna be a lot of games based on it.

Actually, it does matter a bit. Because if it's capped at 60 FPS, then it becomes an issue of image quality, of which resolution is a part...as is AA.
