Bjorn3D has send word about his review on the nVidia PCI-Express GeForce 6800 GT. PCI-Express video cards have been available for a little while now, but the high-end cards are not widely available yet. ATI's Radeon X800 and X800 XT cards are starting to show up on e-tailers' virtual shelves, but the newest nVidia card you'll find in retail form is a GeForce 6600 GT. Demand for PCI-Express cards probably hasn't been really high yet, though. However, now that nForce 4 is about to hit the streets, I'm sure we'll see a spike in demand.
 nVidia PCI-Express GeForce 6800 GT Review
There are no major differences between the PCI-Express version of the 6800 GT and its AGP brother besides the interface. Just like its AGP brother, though, I do expect the PCI-Express 6800 GT to be a good overclocker, reaching Ultra speeds with little effort. Read on to see just how a PCI-Express 6800 GT performs and to get an idea of how a PCI-Express 6800 Ultra might perform.
This article really offers no surprises. The PCI-Express 6800 GT performs as we expected it to, but we really are anxious to check out how well it performs in an Athlon64 system. Once we start getting retail nForce 4 mainboards and retail PCI-Express 6-series cards, we can really make a determination about how hot nVidia's PCI-Express solutions are.
