• GeForce 6800 GT Graphics Card
• DVI to VGA adapters

• Pixels per clock (peak): 16
• Textures per pixel (max in a single rendering pass): 16

Superscalar 16-Pipe GPU Architecture:
Delivers 8x the shading power of previous generation products for screaming gaming performance.

CineFX 3.0 Engine:
Powers the next generation of cinematic realism. Full support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 enables stunning and complex special effects. Next-generation shader architecture delivers faster and smoother gameplay.

UltraShadow II Technology:
Enhances the performance of bleeding-edge games, like id Software's Doom III, that feature complex scenes with multiple light sources and objects. 2nd-generation technology delivers more than 4x the shadow processing power over the previous generation.

64-Bit Texture Filtering and Blending:
Based on the OpenEXR technology from Industrial Light & Magic, NVIDIA's 64-bit texture implementation sets new standards for image clarity and quality through floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing, and blending.

Intellisample 3.0 Technology:
The industry's fastest antialiasing delivers ultra-realistic visuals, with no jagged edges, at lightning-fast speeds. Visual quality is taken to new heights through a new rotated grid sampling pattern.

Unified Driver Architecture (UDA):
Part of the NVIDIA Forceware unified software environment (USE). The NVIDIA UDA guarantees forward and backward compatibility with software drivers. Simplifies upgrading to a new NVIDIA product because all NVIDIA products work with the same driver software.

nView Multi-Display Technology:
The nView hardware and software technology combination delivers maximum flexibility for multi-display options, and provides unprecedented end-user control of the desktop experience. NVIDIA GPUs are enabled to support multi-displays, but graphics cards vary. Please verify multi-display support in the graphics card before purchasing.

Digital Vibrance Control 3.0:
Allows the user to adjust color controls digitally to compensate for the lighting conditions of their workspace, in order to achieve accurate, bright colors in all conditions.

128-Bit Studio-Precision Computation:
128-bit studio-precision computation through the entire pipeline prevents image defects due to low precision and ensures the best image quality for even the most demanding applications.

Full-Speed 32-Bit Color Precision:
Delivers increased image quality with no performance compromise.

0.13 Micron Process Technology:
Delivers high performance through faster clock rates.

• Pentium III/4/Celeron or AMD Athlon/Duron
• An AGP 2.0 (or higher) compliant motherboard. Some motherboards violate the AGP specification and therefore this card may not physically fit in some systems
• 128MB of system memory
• Installation software requires CD-ROM drive
• DVD playback requires DVD drive
• The GeForce 6800 Ultra requires a stable, 12-volt power source for best performance, reliability, and enjoyment. For GeForce 6800-based graphics cards, NVIDIA recommends a power supply with a rating of 350W or higher. To over clock your GeForce 6800 Ultra for maximum performance, NVIDIA recommends a higher rated power supply

GeForce 6800 Ultra boards will have two standard disk drive power plugs on the back end of the card. Both power connectors must be connected for normal use. You may use a Y-cable or connect two dongles off of the same power cable if plugs are short for normal use. To overclock, you should attach two independent (not shared or split with a y-cable) hard disk drive power dongles from the system's power supply to these plugs.
