You know, prior to writing this article I was looking back at the GeForce 6800 Ultra release. It was exactly fourteen months ago since the release of the GeForce Series 6. Normally we see a 6 month long product cycle, meaning every six months there's a new architectural or refresh product release. Come to think of it, I don't think that NVIDIA has ever seen so much positive commenting ever on a product range. Looking back at the GeForce 6200, 6600 and the 6800 I can only see their tremendous success. The architecture was mostly right and from a gaming point of view the complete series was simply brilliant.
