FiringSquad Summary:

At CeBIT this year NVIDIA announced the GeForce 6800 Ultra 512MB, promising “new levels of performance and visual quality”. Today we're taking a look at one of the first GeForce 6800 Ultra 512MB cards to hit the market, BFG's GeForce 6800 Ultra OC 512MB. The card not only ships with 512MB of memory, but like the rest of the "OC" lineup of BFG cards, faster than stock clock speeds. With two BFG GeForce 6800 Ultra 512MB cards in our hands, we took the 512MB GeForce 6800 Ultra card out for a spin in both single-card and SLI 512MB configurations, comparing it to GeForce 6800 Ultra, the RADEON X850 XT Platinum Edition, and finally, ATI's recently announced 512MB RADEON X800 XL. Do twin 512MB GeForce 6800 Ultras sound exciting to you? See the performance improvements 512MB brings to the GeForce 6800 Ultra inside!
